Hi all,

Does anyone know how to create a new menu position that sits between the header and mainnav positions on the JA Rave 1.6 template?

I only need to add text links, and don’t want graphic rollovers etc.

I understand that i need to create a new menu in Menu Manager but don’t know how to write the new position code etc.

Please see the graphic attached for location details.

Many thanks

Sorry, missed that bit.

Create a new file called header.php in templates>ja_rave>blocks>header.php containing the following code.

<?php
/*

*/
?>
<?php
$app = & JFactory::getApplication();
$siteName = $app->getCfg('sitename');
if ($this->getParam('logoType', 'image')=='image'): ?>
<h1 class="logo">
<a href="index.php" 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="index.php" 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('topnav')) : ?>
<div id="topnav">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="topnav" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->countModules('search')) : ?>
<div id="ja-search">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


That will give you a new position called topnav where you want it though you may want to style it in some way.

Then creat either a custom html module with your links in or create a new menu item and put a menu module in this position styled as a flat list.

Fantastic , thanks Phil.

I got it to work, very impressed.

The only issue is with the layout. My links are vertical. Do you know what code i need to make it horizontal please? Graphic attached to show current position.

Thanks again!

In J1.5 you used to be able to select flat list. I’ll do some tests with J1.6.

Please add the following code to the end of templates>ja_rave>css>template.css then add the custom menu class menu1 (make sure you put a leading space in there).


.menu1 li
{
float: left;
padding: 10px;
}


You should be able to add any additional styling in with the padding should you wish.
