anyone know how to add a new block?, I try modifying the file

plugins system jat3 base-themes default page default.php

<? Php $ this-> genBlockBegin ($ this-> getBlocksXML (‘middle’))?>
<? Php $ this-> genBlockEnd ($ this-> getBlocksXML (‘middle’))?>

changing middle to middle2 in both sentences.

Obviously add to the XML layout I’m using, but the result was
very bad, did not recognize the modules.

Maybe I miss some kind of statement or modify another file.

Anyone know how to add a new theme block, just above the
content. Something like this:

Hi,
You are completely lost my friend… please do read the T3 Framework Guides, it will really help you understand the way you should add a block without writing a single line of php code, which is one of the benefits of the framework itself.

Sorry did not achieve the desired style guide does not solve anything me. Probably something I’m not reading, or just what I’m doing wrong but not what it is.

I can relocate the blocks and add new blocks, these blocks are kept in their assigned positions (Top, Middle, Bottom). I can not make blocks out of those positions. I do not know how to add blocks to the position of the content


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">

// ADD block here is good to TOP position <-----------

<block name="header" type="header" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="raw" main-inner="1">top-panel</block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
<block name="topsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>

// -------------->
</blocks>

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="35">
// ADD block here is good to MIDDLE position <-----------

<block name="right1">right</block>

// -------------->
</blocks>

<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">

// ADD block here is good to BOTTOM position <-----------

<block name="botsl" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
<block name="navhelper" type="navhelper" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="footer" type="footer"></block>

// -------------->
</blocks>
</layout>


Where I can add a new block appears above the content? Try this (and many sentences), without any results:


<blocks name="content" >
<block name="right1">right</block>
</blocks>


Could tell me how to do it, I think I’ll have to modify any PHP file, and it is apparently not possible to add a new position unless it is registered in the base template.

Here…


<blocks name="middle" colwidth="35">
// ADD block here is good to MIDDLE position <-----------

<block name="right1">right</block>

// -------------->
</blocks>


Looking at your code, colwidth=”35″ in the red line means left or right colums will span 35% which will leave the content section with the rest…

The T3 Guides point out the following…
<blockquote>Purpose: this parameter sets a default column width for the left, component body and right blocks inside the middle block. Left and right blocks use a column width of 20%, and main body will use the remaining 60%</blockquote>

This other post will help you achieve that.

Some side recomendations for you:

1. Please do read guides carefully…
2. Please invest at least a small amount of time searching the forum before making a question. Sometimes, things you are looking for, might already been answered before.
3. And please, use the thankyou button when someone takes the time to answer. It will show people you have good manners and that you know how to use a forum properly. 😎
