I am looking to find out how to create a template position or insert a rotating banner at the extreme top of the page similar to this website .

I know there is ijoomla ad agency but im looking for something simpler like the banners module or if anyone has any suggestions.

Hi guidinglight !
you can do it following below :
Open index.php file in templates/ja_teline_ii folder find following code section at about line 90 :


<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">

change it to :


<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<!-- BEGIN: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-banner">
<!-- add module position -->
</div>
<!-- END: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">

I suggest the following changes to this.

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<!-- BEGIN: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-banner">
<!-- add module position -->
</div>
<!-- END: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">
Into this:

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<!-- BEGIN: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-banner2">
<!-- add module position -->
</div>
<!-- END: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">
And find this in the css file:

#ja-banner {
margin: 0;
padding-top: 15px;
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
border-top: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
And change it to to this:

#ja-banner, ja-banner2 {
margin: 0;
padding-top: 15px;
text-align: center;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
border-top: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}

Thanks Menalto

I have done what you recommended. Now the question is how do I publish a banner in that position.

I know it my be a noob question but im know very little about coding.

Thanks

Then it would be to replace this:

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<!-- BEGIN: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-banner2">
<!-- add module position -->
</div>
<!-- END: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">
With this here:

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<?php if($this->countModules('banner2')) : ?>
<!-- BEGIN: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-banner2">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="banner2" />
</div>
<!-- END: BANNER -->
<?php endif; ?>
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">
Then you can publish a banner in module position called “banner2”, open the banner module and where you choose the position you can just type in “banner2” and assign it to the menu items you want it to show up on.

Hi Hainn,

But I have not defined it in the .xml file.

Thanks

Are you using Joomla 1.0.xx or 1.5?
The above code i posted is for 1.5
IF you are using 1.0.xx it should be like this here:

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<?php if (mosCountModules('banner2')) {?>
<!-- BEGIN: BANNER -->
<div id="ja-banner2">
<?php mosLoadModules ( 'banner2', -1 ); ?>
</div>
<!-- END: BANNER -->
<?php } ?>
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">
