Hi

When you choose the position in module manager manually write top-panel inside it

Or you need to insert a new position in header

Ok

Then you can create a specific position for your banner inside the header

Goto this file pluginssystemjat3jat3base-themesdefaultblocksheader.php now you have

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
?>
<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$siteName = $app->getCfg('sitename');
if ($this->getParam('logoType', 'image')=='image'): ?>
<h1 class="logo">
<a href="<?php JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo $siteName; ?>"><span><?php echo $siteName; ?></span></a>
</h1>
<?php else:
$logoText = (trim($this->getParam('logoText'))=='') ? $siteName : JText::_(trim($this->getParam('logoText')));
$sloganText = JText::_(trim($this->getParam('sloganText'))); ?>
<div class="logo-text">
<h1><a href="<?php JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo $siteName; ?>"><span><?php echo $logoText; ?></span></a></h1>
<p class="site-slogan"><?php echo $sloganText;?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($this->countModules('search')) : ?>
<div id="ja-search">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Add this php code

<?php if($this->countModules('bannerheader')) : ?>
<div id="ja-bannerheader">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="bannerheader" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

So the new header.php file will be

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
?>
<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$siteName = $app->getCfg('sitename');
if ($this->getParam('logoType', 'image')=='image'): ?>
<h1 class="logo">
<a href="<?php JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo $siteName; ?>"><span><?php echo $siteName; ?></span></a>
</h1>
<?php else:
$logoText = (trim($this->getParam('logoText'))=='') ? $siteName : JText::_(trim($this->getParam('logoText')));
$sloganText = JText::_(trim($this->getParam('sloganText'))); ?>
<div class="logo-text">
<h1><a href="<?php JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo $siteName; ?>"><span><?php echo $logoText; ?></span></a></h1>
<p class="site-slogan"><?php echo $sloganText;?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->countModules('bannerheader')) : ?>
<div id="ja-bannerheader">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="bannerheader" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->countModules('search')) : ?>
<div id="ja-search">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Now goto this file templatesja_universitytemplateDetails.xml and add the new position

<position>top-panel</position>
<position>bannerheader</position>

Now goto templatesja_universitycsstemplate.css and at the end of file add the css style for your new position

#ja-bannerheader {
margin-top: 20px;
}

Remember that based on your custom-html module you will need to find the right positioning CSS settings also take first a backup that you will modify

hi pavit,

This is the default banner position on most templates. because it is not displaying properly or maybe i am doing something wrong. also it is only to add a slogan in where the banner will be to compliment the logo but i was going to use the banner module to display the slogan that will change depending on the language. Has anyone else put a banner in the position to the right of the logo. I can’t see this should require custom coding but I appreciate the code i just would like confirmation before i alter the template.thanks
