I have: A logo + slogan as one picture. There are five languages on the website, therefore, I have five pictures.

I need: To have each logo picture display in the correct language.

I think: The best way to do this is to create a new module position in JA Teline iii and then use Joomfish to translate the module and put the specific language picture.

How can this be done?

Hello,

See for instance this post.
You could comment out or delete code for logo and create new position.
Than position it with css.

Hope it helps you on the way.
Regards,
Micrantha

micrantha, thanks for the quick reply. This looks useful, however, I am not good with CSS.

I would like the new module to be the whole RED area which is shown in the picture I attached.

Looking at other posts, I also have to add the position and style it which I do not know at moment.

My first question to you is:

What does this code represent?

<?php
$siteName = $this->sitename();
if ($this->getParam('logoType')=='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'))=='') ? $config->sitename : $this->getParam('logoText');
$sloganText = (trim($this->getParam('sloganText'))=='') ? JText::_('') : $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; ?>

I ask the above question because in your reply it states to add the following code after the code above and I am wondering whether this will leave the logo in same place but also add a new module which will overwrite or conflict with logo:

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

Can I send you the homepage link?

I deleted the logo code and inserted the new module and added the module position in the templatedetails.xml

When I went to create a new module, I got the following error

XML Parsing Error at 74:31. Error 4: not well-formed (invalid token)

Hello novajugo,

following code is for Logo Image or Logo Text, which you want to replace for a Module:

<?php
$siteName = $this->sitename();
if ($this->getParam('logoType')=='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'))=='') ? $config->sitename : $this->getParam('logoText');
$sloganText = (trim($this->getParam('sloganText'))=='') ? JText::_('SITE SLOGAN') : $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; ?>

Next code-lines are for the search-module; if you want to get rid of it, or want to change position, you can comment it out or delete it here:

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

Here you can enter code for new module.
You need to be very precise to get all lines OK.

If you wish you can send me your homepage link.
I don’t know what error you get means.
Normally you would create a new Custom HTML Module, fill it with image of your logo, and publish it on newly created position.
But this posiotion needs some styling first.

Greeting,
Micrantha

The error was because the params.ini became unwriteable.

I restored the original templatedetails.xml and the parsing error went away.

I understand what you mean with the code now.

I tried to delete the logo code and add the new position. I also added the position in templatedetails.xml.

The result was that the new module was above the search module.

To make my goal easier to understand:

1) I want search module to remain where it is.
2) I want the new module to cover the whole area where logo + search is, but for search module to be on TOP of the new logo module

I will send you the link right now.

Hello novajugo,

OK, you can try following code:

changed header.php

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

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

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

</div>

<div class="ja-topbar clearfix">

<p class="ja-day">
<?php
echo "<span class="day">".date ('l')."</span>";
echo "<span class="date">, ".date ('M')." ".date ('d').date ('S')."</span>";
?>
</p>

<p class="ja-updatetime"><span><?php echo JText::_('Last update')?></span><em><?php echo $this->getLastUpdate(); ?></em></p>

<?php if($this->countModules('headlines')) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="headlines" />
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if($this->countModules('syndicate')) : ?>
<div class="ja-syndicate">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="syndicate" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<jdoc:include type="modules" name="megamenu" />

</div>
</div>
</div>


Changes in template.php:
new lines:

#newposition{
height:62px;
width:100%;
position:relative;
left:-15px;
top:-10px;
}


changed lines:

#ja-search {
float: right;
margin-top: 20px;
position:absolute;
top:30px;
right:10px;
}


Now you have to create Custom HTML Module:
– enter your logo image in it (proably width 978px; height 82px;
– for position parameter enter the name of new module
– give module a Module Class Suffix, for example _logo

Maybe you have to fine-tune positioning.

Hope it works for you.
Regards,
Micrantha
