Hi,

in the purity II template I want to add a additonal position above the Header to put a menu and the search field in it and maybe the date (by javascript).

All tutorials and descriptions are only on J1.5 and not on 1.6.
I think I have to add the stuff in head.php in /blocks.
But where an how?
Do I have to put the additional positions alson in the template XML description?

Who can help me?

Thanx in advance
Joachim

Hi Joachim,

JA Purity II template for Joomla 1.6 is based on T3 Framework version 2. Therefore please read our wiki to learn how to customize a T3v2 template http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/Guides#Layouts

Hi Don Lee,

thanx for that idea.
I have reading articles, pages and wiki. I watched all videos and still have probs.
Currently the new block and position appears on the page but ordered vertically instead of horizontically.
And I am looking for the relevant css styles to format: Background like in header.
Date should appear on the left, menu centered and search on the right.
http://joomla16.auster-consulting.com is the URL of my page.

Tip to everybody in the forum here:
Instead of always pointing to “other” posts in the forum, it would be really nice, if anybody can point to relevant posts.
the search in the forum is not that easy, due to different wording etc.
I spent now about 24h in solving this problem. So it would be really nice, if you or any other expert can help me.

thanx in advance for your help
Joachim

why do I ask experts to give me a solution and they tell me to read to learn?
Did I pay for solutions or for learning?
You are really kidding. It is boring and anoying and frustrating!!!
Answers like political persons without any concret facts, just abstract answers like above or like “search the forum” hahahahahahaha
Are you really professional?

Joachim,

It’s just you to be kidding, we provide documents/guides/wiki for all of our products to you and other users to know how to use it yourself from basic things to advance… Just let me clarify:

To be honest, I want to give you with the same situation that if you go to an iStore and buy an iPhone then what you want may be that Apple has to come to your home and show you how to use it? I will not explain any more if you feel that’s fine..

We always expect that users will read our documents before asking anything because we believe that we have written enough needful things for you guys to use our products…

Moreover, we have our community here with more than 200k members developing this forum…so what you plan to ask might be asked by someone and got solution already..thus it’s the reason you should search…it’s better and faster than that you ask it again, wait for replies that may require you to explain more to find out solutions…

Okay, you may be no need to search and care anything yourself, just ask then we will find it for you, but we can’t learn it for you. In case we can’t find any available solution, we will try to make solution, but it has to be in the support coverage that I will mention below…

Back to this thread subject, you are asking how to customize JA Purity II template for Joomla 1.6, I have to clarify that we do not support users to customize our products and be responsible for any customizations… We only provide you documents to use it and change our demo content to yours, and support you to fix issues that you may face in this progress.

Since JA T3 plugin is a template framework so we provide wiki to help developers to learn how to develop and customize a template based on T3. Also It does not mean that we support customizations to users…

Alright, regarding your inquiry, I’m still checking it and in your site already but I don’t see:
<blockquote>Currently the new block and position appears on the page but ordered vertically instead of horizontically.</blockquote>

It would be helpful if you can elaborate your question more details, attaching a screenshot with descriptions is better than explaining too much 🙂 then I will try to help you out with my knowledge as well..

Regards,
Don

Hi folks,

I have the exact same question, as the initial poster: how to add a new module position above the header area?

I have read:
http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/Guides#Layouts
and
http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/FAQs

but still don’t get it.

Here is, what I’ve tried:

1. edited /core/etc/layouts/default.xml and added a part called “imprint”:

<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="imprint" type="modules" style="raw">imprint</block>
<block name="absolute" type="modules" style="raw">absolute</block>
2. added an “imprint.php” to /blocks with this code:

<?php // no direct access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
?>

<div class="ja-mass clearfix">

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="imprint" style="JAxhtml" />

</div>

But still, the new module position does not show up. What have I missed?

Also, I figured out, that the descriptions in the wiki slightly differ from the ja_purity_ii-files, I have downloaded (v1.0.0 beta)…

Best regards,
Ricardo Cristof

Hi rcristofrf,

You are using J1.6, arent you? This case you dont need to do the step 2, it is extra. The step have to do instead is open templateDetails.xml (in template folder), then add this:

<position>imprint</position>
in to <positions> tag.
Then clear the cache, the “imprint” position will be available in the list for you.
