you can get the process for adding module positions from the joomla forums. this is not a process that is proprietary to this or any other template

I requires very little html and php knowledge

I cant seem to find anything that gives a good explanation on how to do this.
I see posts that say we should be asking these questions in the forum for the template you are using.
Any pointers here?
I’d like to be able to increase the area above the menu and place a logo in there and I would also like to add a module between the menu and left-right-user1-user2 positions.
This is what I have so far.

Thanks
Ryan

To add a module below the header/logo/main menu and between left/right/user1/user2/main do the following

In template index.php find the following code line:

<div id="ja-containerwrap<?php echo $divid ?>" class="clearfix">

Above that line add the following:

<?php if (mosCountModules('user9')) { ?>
<div id="xtra">
<?php mosLoadModules('user9', -1); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>

In template template_css.css add the following code all the way to the botton:

/*XTRA MODULE CSS */
#xtra {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
padding: 5px 0 0 0;
}

This should create a module position. To adjest the height of the module change the height in the css code you just added.

This can be seen here: http://www.foresureservices.com

I would like to thank menalto for helping me get this. Without him this would have not happened!

I hope this works for others.

Take Care!

This will help you change the logo a lil. Once you edit the logo in photoshop or whatever software you use go the template css file and find this:

h1.logo {
font-size: 300%;
height: 45px;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 60px;
width: 198px;
}

h1.logo a {
background: url(../images/logo.gif) no-repeat;
display: block;
float: left;
height: 45px;
outline: none;
text-indent: -5000px;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: 198px;
}

Here you can see sevearl things:
To adjust the logo so it can be moved up or down mess with the first section where it says top. Increase that number if you want the logo to be pushed down or decrease that number if you want your logo to move up.

Also if you have the file logo.gif height and width please make sure to note the changes in both sections.

I hope this helps everyone. See the changes we made at http://www.foresureservices.com

Once again, I want to thank menalto for helping me get this.

I hope this helps others!

Take Care,

I did not see the copyright/designed by notice. Sorry, it was late and was trying to do too many things. This has been changed.

Thanks Malik for the great explanation and instructions. This is very much appreciated!

Another quick question.
How did you get the image to show up above the menu? (The one that says ForeGrass! ForeTrash! etc )

Thanks again.
Ryan

Hey Ryan,

to add that image follow this:

In template index.php fine line:

<h1 class="logo"><a href="index.php" title="<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?>"><?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?></a></h1>

Right above this line add:

<h1 class="slogan"><a href="index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3" title="<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?>"><?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?></a></h1>

Now in template css do the following:
Above the section:

h1.logo {

Add the following:

h1.slogan {
font-size: 300%;
height: 45px;
left: 265px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 8px;
width: 450px;
}

h1.slogan a {
background: url(../images/slogan.jpg) no-repeat;
display: block;
float: left;
height: 45px;
outline: none;
text-indent: -5000px;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: 450px;
}

Modify this per your image with height and width. You can also adjust top and left to position your image how ever you want.

I hope this works. This is something I did myself so I am hoping I did it right but it seems to work. I have not seen any error so far.

Take Care,

Ryan are you asking how to change the footer (copyright text)?

If so you can edit that in index.php of the template. It should be below these lines of code:

<!-- BEGIN: FOOTER -->
<div id="ja-footerwrap" class="clearfix">
<div id="ja-footer" class="clearfix">

I hope that helps.

Take Care,
