Hi arush & sheiwahtan, please, open your template.css, located in /templates/ja_purity_ii/css/ directory, and on line 1405 add this:

#ja-slide {
height:200px;
}
then, open file topsl.php, located in /templates/ja_purity_ii/layouts/blocks/ directory, and on line 9 add this:

<div class="ja-slide">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="slide" />
</div>
and, in the end, open templateDetails.xml file, located in your template directory and on line 60 add this:

<position>slide</position>
Then, publish your slideshow on position slide and set it’s height to 200 pixels.

Please, keep in mind that this is just a few rough lines, you should take this and polish it up.
You need to style the slideshow too.
Anyway, this should be enough to get you started. Change the parameters according to your needs.

Good luck! 🙂

Hi there!

histeriks you are great!

I was trying all night to make this, and I finally did.

Just one thing: at the topsl file, I had to edit the array as well, and add a “slide”. Might be obvious for some guys but I’m not very experienced so I was desperate at one point because nothing seemed to work.

Now the problem: while I have succesfully added the slide where I wanted, it hides the submenus (I’m using the mega menu)

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hey guys,
There is a documentation section called Creating module positions.
Would you like to add this guide histeriks posted here?

Regards,
Danny
