September 27, 2011 at 7:25 pm #169028How do I control which module is to the left and which is to the right in the Top Panel?
http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/categories-order-by-janews2-module/ shows a method of altering the order of categories by modifying the SQL. I would be happy doing that but . . . .
in toppanel helper.php on line 48 there is this section of PHP
for($j=0; $j<= $countlist; $j++){
$classitem = “”;
if($j == 0){
$classitem = “first-item”;
}
elseif($j == $countlist)
{
$classitem = “last-item”;
}Which is clearly where the ordering is being set but I am somewhat anxious about hacking what must be pretty much core code.
What do I do to achieve my desired effect without get down and dirty?
Thanks
TD

Which modules are you wanting where ??
I would say normally this is simply a matter of module assignment and/or ordering, but I am not 100% sure what it is you are wanting to achieve. Can you provide a graphical depiction of what it is you are trying to accomplish? (i.e. a screenshot image?)

September 27, 2011 at 9:17 pm #415384Thanks.
The order in the demonstration is that the information is to the left and the Quick Contact is to the right. I had hoped to achieve that.
I used a custom HTML piece for the information modelled on the example and the Quick Contact module.
For some time I could not get either to show and then discovered the use of the location to force display. But they are the wrong way round.
On my Module Manager screen the order is displayed with both modules showing as order 1. Attempts to edit that are refused by Joomla. Attempts to place the modules in a different order on the page work but are ignored in the output.
The image shows the result I achieve which is now close to acceptable but how do I change them over?
Until I tweaked the css a bit the form side was all squashed up and since the proportions are 45% :: 55% I thought it would unsquash if I changed sides with it.
How do you control which side a module is displayed on?

Within your Module Manager, can you not assign the respective modules to the respective positions within the module parameters itself? For the image above, I would think that you would simply change the respective positions accordingly.mountainman Friendmountainman

September 27, 2011 at 9:33 pm #415391This is the Module Manager Screen.
Both modules show order 1.
Using the buttons to alter the order has no impact.
Changing the numbers here or on the individual Module Parameter screens is ignored.Hence my problem.
Is there a solution?
