Good Day,

I am using the JA Fubix template to update our local sports reporting website. I need to add a new position to the layout – also, I need one removed.

1. I need the search box removed from the menu, and the menu extended into the space where the search box once existed.

2. I need a position created directly below the main menu, that is the same width as the content below.

I have attached a rough image of what I need, any help would be most greatly appreciated. My knowledge of css code is growing quickly out of date as I grow older. haha.

Sincerely,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Your requests are related to customizing our JA Fubix template layout so that I suggest you to backup your files before refering this guides below:

<blockquote>1. I need the search box removed from the menu, and the menu extended into the space where the search box once existed.</blockquote>

Open templatesja_fubixtplsblocksheader.php file, remove or commnet lines (61-67th):

<?php if ($this->countModules('top-header')) : ?>
<!-- HEAD SEARCH -->
<div class="span2 head-social top-header pull-right<?php $this->_c('top-header')?>">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('top-header') ?>" style="raw" />
</div>
<!-- //HEAD SEARCH -->
<?php endif ?>


Then change <div class=”span10“> to <div class=”span12“>

<blockquote>2. I need a position created directly below the main menu, that is the same width as the content below.</blockquote>

Thank you very much, Leo. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

I am struggling with the new module instructions. I think my lack of knowledge of the code is my problem… Is there any way you could have a look? I included access for admins when I originally posted, but can PM the same.

Very Sincerely,
-Mike

Hi Mike,

Well, you can backup your files and follow these steps below:

– Open templatesja_fubixtplsblockshomepage.php file, add these codes into 62th line (before <div class=”row”>):

<div class="new_position<?php $this->_c('new_position')?> span12">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('new_position') ?>" style="T3Xhtml" />
</div>
– Go to Template Manager >> JA_Fubix – Home style, select Home layout. Then assign this template style to selected menu items (i.e Home).

– Then you can create a module at new_position position, it will appear below the main menu and have the same witdth with the content below.

Note: You can apply this method for other layouts (Default, Fixture …) by adding the defined position codes above into the same position in mainbody-content-left.php, mainbody-content-right.php, mainbody-right.php, just depend on the layout you assigned to menu items.

Hi again, I hate to be a bother, but I’m just got getting anywhere with this.

I’ve followed your instructions, but when I try to Save the Template – It won’t let me…

Did I potentially screw something up when attempting to follow the original tip you suggested?

Hi Mike,

Sorry, I came back late. I have already checked out the template styles again, corrected the saving button to work finely now. I also try to create a Custom HTML module named “Banner (spban position)” on new position “spban”. You can check it and replace with your desired module.

Leo, I sincerely do greatly appreciate your time helping me with this issue.

Unfortunately, I am still having issues with saving the template after making changes in the template manager. Specifically, I wish to assign the ‘homepage’ style to the entire website. (So that Banner position is visible on all pages)..

Also, I was trying to toy around with the placement of the modules in the layout section – but again, I am unable to save any changed.

Do you have any thoughts as to why I would be experiencing this?

Again, thank you very much for you time.
Mike

Hi Mike,

There is a tiny wrong definition of span with in block file top-spban.php that caused the template style not be saved. I just have corrected the block file and you can save the JA_Fubix_Home template style as usual now. Can you check it again and back to confirm your result ?
