New positions for banners

Hi
I need to set four new module positions in bottom1 instead of a whole module position. This four module positions have to be in horizontal align, one beside other, for to set banners.
For to do it I set four module positions in templatedetails.xml with names bottom1a, bottom1b, bottom1c, bottom1d (between <postions></positions>). After I set them in gk.const.php with "gk_style"...and after I tried to set one of them in default.php with this code:

<?php if($this->modules(‘bottom1a’)) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”bottom1a” style=”<?php echo $this->module_styles['bottom1a']; ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

The php for bottom1 position in default.php is:
<?php if($this->API->modules('bottom1')) : ?>
<section id="gkBottom1" class="gkPage gkCols6">
<div>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="bottom1" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['bottom1']; ?>" modnum="<?php echo $this->API->modules('bottom1'); ?>" /
</div>

I tried to set the the code for bottom1a after this but with no results. The position is showing in joomla administrator but no shows some module. I want to know if the php code is in right position in default.php or i have to fix some CSS for to view it (and where set this css).

Could You post an url to your site and be sure that there is any module (simple html with lorem ipsum will be enough) placed in that position?

I send you the pass for PM, because the site is unpublished. I send you here a screenshot with an idea. The position would be bottom1 or bottom2...

I dont see any of modules You have mentioned in the backend.
Please PM me also with ftp data so I can access files and check whats wrong there.

Now I have only "bottom1b" position for to test it. But I think there are some error in default.php or maybe this is not the way for to do it. I send you ftp for PM.

Cyberex, I'm doing some changes. One of them is the posibility of align banner modules horizontally in a new banner3 position. For this I need that banner3 can align it horizontally and no vertically.
I have not been able to resolve the positions of modules in default.php and I think that I could help. What style or class I assign and where?

To position few elements horizontally (one aside other) You need to assign them a common class, and then use override.css to float them (float:left). It would be wise also to clear float after those elements.

Please explain me. I have the syle

#bottom3 {
float: left;
width: 300px;
}

in override.css

and asign it in default.css with:
<div class="gkPage">
<div id="bottom3">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="bottom3" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['bottom2']; ?>" modnum="<?php echo $this->API->modules('bottom3'); ?>" />
</div>
</div>

but the modules in bottom3 position are still vertically align. I assign 300px only for to test. How can I asign horizontal align next to each other...?

Please, PM me with site url.

Ok, 1 more question - please fill all informations that should be there and send me a prepared screenshot how should it look like, because now I dont have slight idea how layout should look.

O.K here I send a sample. The banner modules that I need are the four marked in a circle. The first is a sample and the other three I have not done yet.

I have copied the "gnocchi" module 4 times and added suffix "mymodule" to every one of them, so they can be addressed in css. Now please edit: /templates/gk_publisher/css/override.css and add at its end:

Code: Select all

.gkCols6 .box.gkmod-4.mymodule {width: 23.5%; padding: 0 20px 0 0;}
.gkCols6 .box.gkmod-4.mymodule:last-child {padding: 0;}


Remember to enable "CSS override" in template settings - advanced section.

This should position them in one row.

This was all!
The new syle had to be linked with the styles .gkCols6 .box.gkmod-4 !
Thanks you very much! this was a headache!

I'm glad it works fine now
