Hi.

I need to create a new module position to add a menu. I´ve read info about this but I don´t know where to start. I believe it must be easy, but I don´t get it.

Could you help me?

Hello,

Have you read this HOW to CREATE A NEW MODULE POSITION from TomC ? I think it’s the answer to all your questions on creating the module position you need!!

If I may just offer up an additional comment to my friend pascm’s kind reference . . . .

If you are going to want to add an additional module position for a MENU, there will of course be some additional steps/elements that you will be needing to configure – due to the nature of the type of module you are wanting to add. (i.e. additional css for styling and positioning the menu).

For example . . . for STEP THREE of the tutorial pacsm linked for you above . . . if you are going to want to set up a position for a specialized module – such as a menu or a search module or something like that, you likely would need to use something similar to the following within the relative block layout file (for example only) . . .

<blockquote>
<?php if($this->countModules(‘newmenu’)) : ?>
<div id=”newmenu”>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”newmenu” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</blockquote>

Might I ask what kind of menu you are wanting to position in the spot you indicated?

Hi.

I want to put there a menu, but only 3 menu items, so I can do it “manually”, write the text “home” and “contact” and set the links to their pages, is not necessary to be a menu module. It can be normal module, if it´s easer to do.

Thanks!!!

For what you are describing above, yes it will be easier to do – and you can do it within a custom_html mod with some relatively simple formatting/styling and anchor links

Actually, here is an earlier tutorial I wrote that is even a bit more specific for what you want to do –>
HOW TO CREATE A TOP MENU IN ANY J1.7 TEMPLATE

(yes, the same method works with/for J2.5 – never fear)

Hi again.

I´m trying to create another module, on the left of the logo. I´ve read the tutorial, but it seems it doesn´t work for this template, because there´s not header.php file.

I´ve tried several ways, but no one works.

Could you please help me?

Thanks
