I would like to create a new module position in JA Rasite. At the top I want to add some icons for links. I checked out some of the other answers for this, but didn’t see what seemed to be the answer.

now, you open the file: templatesja_rasitelayoutsblocksheader.php and find the following code:

[PHP]
<?php if (($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) $jamenu->genMenu ($this->getParam(‘startlevel’,0), $this->getParam(‘endlevel’,-1)); ?>
[/PHP]
replace:
[PHP]
<div class=”ja-topleft”>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”topleft” style=”JAxhtml” />
</div>
<?php if (($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) $jamenu->genMenu ($this->getParam(‘startlevel’,0), $this->getParam(‘endlevel’,-1)); ?>
[/PHP]

and add the following code into the template.css file

.ja-topleft{
position:absolute;
right:0;
top:12px;
height:50px;
width:200px;
background:red;
}

when done, the template has a new position named “topleft”

I followed your steps, but I believe you are leaving a bit out. I did not find the first bit of code in the Header.php. It was in the MainNav.php. After placing it up and about an hour of tinkering with the Header/MainNav/and a few others, I am going to turn it back over to you. Also, It did not show up on the Admin Site to select from the Modules Page. Help Please. :-[:confused:

Thanks,

Also, I was able to use ?tp=1 to see the position on my website. I moved the position to where I want it, but even with z-index of 99 the top menu bar is ontop of the new module.

you open the file: templates/ja_rasite/css/template.css and find the following code:

#ja-mainnav {
background: url(../images/mainnav-bg.gif) repeat-x left top;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;
height: 46px;
line-height: 1;
padding-top: 10px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index: 900;
}

replace:

#ja-mainnav {
background: url(../images/mainnav-bg.gif) repeat-x left top;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;
height: 46px;
line-height: 1;
padding-top: 10px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index:10;
}

Ok, still having trouble getting the z-index to work. Tried a few things, but not working out.
Last thing is I need it to show up in the Module Positions (admin) when editing and enabling a module.

font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;
height: 46px;
line-height: 1;
padding-top: 10px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;

ok, I removed the z-index and it seems to be working! Yay!!!

Last item up for bid, where to place module: topleft in the admin modules for selection. I can just type it in, but wanted to add it to the list.
