Hello,
I’ve read through the forum and template documents as well, so I understand how to add a new module position above or below an existing position, but I would like to add one directly to the right of the slideshow position. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks
IDEX

Hi,

for which oomla version You need this – 1.5 or 1.7?
Do You want to make this slideshow position wider than 980px, or You want to make the slideshow narrower and beside this – add new position?

Regards

I’d like to make the slideshow narrower and put a box to the right of it. Can you let me know how to do this?

I just upgraded this site to Joomla 2.5 and can’t figure out how to do this again. The 1.5 site is still here:

http://www.tricitytransmission.com

The 2.5 site is here:

http://www.tricitytransmission.com/jupgrade/

I’d like to create a new position to the right of the slideshow where the orange “Make an Appointment Today” box is. How do I do that in 2.5?

Hi dcross02,

You can go to that “Make an Appointment Today” module and know which position it’s assigned to. This is new position you’ve added before and check the code to see how you’ve changed, it might locate in /templates/ja_your_template_name/layouts/default.php

In 2.5, this template is built along with JAT3 framework, so you may need to make change in this file: pluginssystemjat3jat3base-themesdefaultpagedefault.php. When you make changes, pls try to copy this file to template folder: templatesja_your_template_namepage. This override will help to keep your new changes when you update JAT3 plugin.

This tips may help you something: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/how-to-create-a-new-module-position-6/

Thanks, Saguaros. I can figure out how to add a position above of below an existing position. See:

http://www.tricitytransmission.com/jupgrade/?tp=1

I have no problem adding “custom1” underneath the slideshow. I’m having a problem getting to be to the right of the slideshow in the empty area.

Need to know how to put the new module to the right of the slideshow in the top.slideshow area. Right now it is located in the top.module area.

Hi

As I can see that currently, you assign module ‘Make an Appointment Today’ to ‘ja-module‘ div, try to add this additional css rule:


#ja-module {
left: 715px;
position: absolute;
top: 170px;
}


into file: /templates/ja_ores/themes/light-blue/css/light-theme.css

then clean JAT3 cache.

Always take a backup of your site first before changing.

I seem to be having another issue with the new position and image I added to the right of the slideshow. The hyperlink on the graphic works in Explorer, but not in Firefox.

The website is http://www.tricitytransmission.com . The image I am referring to is the big orange box that says “Make an appointment”.

Could you pm me admin account of site you’re working on and tell me the name of that module?

I just sent you the Admin login, the module name, and the position name through PM.

Hi again,

Try opening file: /templates/ja_template_name/css/template.css and add this css rule:


#ja-module .ja-moduletable {
z-index: 6 !important;
}


then clean JAT3 cache.
