How can I modify the layout of Teline3 to add an extra module position at the very top?
Is there a step-by-step description somewhere? Or can someone help me with a quick instruction?
Looking forward to your kind advice!

Hello,

You can add a new module position with this code:

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

But where to add this code?
That depends on what layout you use.

For default layout:
Go to template > layouts > default.php

In this framework you see where the header-block is loaded:

<div id="ja-wrapper">
<a name="Top" id="Top"></a>

<!-- HEADER -->
<?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>
<!-- //HEADER -->

So you could add your module-position above the header-block, or you can change the header-block itself, which is more consequent.

Open template > layouts > blocks > header.php
This file opens with defining the header-space:

<div id="ja-header" class="wrap">
<div class="main">
<div class="inner clearfix">
..............

so here you can add a new module-position where you want it to appear.
Give the module position a unique name.
Add this name to the list of positions in the .xml-file of the template.
Position your new module-position by adding an id to the containing div and styling it in your template.css

Succes,
Micrantha

Hello iverjames,

I don’t know, never worked with adsense.

But you could experiment with the layout-block right.php (!backup first of course!).
There you can find the code for col-mass2:


<?php
$pos = $this->getPositionName ('right-mass-bottom');
if ($this->countModules($pos)): ?>
<div class="ja-mass ja-mass-bottom clearfix">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php echo $pos;?>" style="JAxhtml" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Try adding your code before or after these lines.

Succes,
Micrantha
