#158899

on our old site (J1.0, T1.0), we had a masthead banner to the right of the site logo, where the search bar is.

I’m trying to figure out how to do this with joomla 1.5/T3V2.

placing <block name=”banner”>banner</block> in the layout manager made the site go into debug mode, so I don’t think that’s it.

If i put a banner module in the search module position, the search bar disappears, and the image hugs the top frame of the window, over the twitter button. I want to have the search form above the ad.

My notes from doing http://spubs.biz/teline/ (teline 3 V 1) say this, but it doesnt seem to be the same for the V2 with T3 framework:

Line 44 of TemplateDetails.xml, <position>topbanner</position>.
Also, line 20 of header.php: <?php if($this->countModules(‘topbanner’)) : ?>
<div id=”ja-topbanner”>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”topbanner” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Help would be appreciated.

hi,

the file you need to edit to get this done is templatesja_teline_iii_v2blocksheader.php,

I think if you have a basic knowledge of css that would be enough :).

Let me know if you need further help.

If I understand correctly, would it be possible to somehow modify the css padding to allow the masthead banner under the search bar? I’m not overly sure on how all the css for that region is setup.

just edit templatesja_teline_iii_v2blocksheader.php, add this:

<div style="position: absolute; right: 10px; top 10px;" ><img src="your src url" /></div>
you can modify the top & right coordinate to adjust your banner’s position.

Would it be possible to put a module there, so that I can just use the banner manager?

Ideally I’d like to place a banner module in the search position, and have it appear under the search bar.

You will need to add a bit of styling but here are the basics.

Open templates>ja_teline_iii_v2>blocks>header.php and add the bit highlighted in red below.

<?php $this->genBlockBegin ($block) ?>
<div class="inner clearfix">
<?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($this->countModules('search')) : ?>
<div id="ja-search">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->countModules('search2')) : ?>
<div id="search2>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="search2" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!-- HEADLINES & Top megamenu -->
<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 T3Common::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; ?>

<?php $this->showBlock ('topmega') ?>
</div>
<!-- END HEADLINES -->

<?php $this->genBlockEnd ($block) ?>

Adjust the position of the search box so it is at the top by opening template.css line 178 and changing


#ja-search {
bottom:35px;
right:15px;

}


to


#ja-search {
top:35px;
right:15px;

}


Then add something like


#search2 {
float:right;
height:100px;
margin:0 0 35px;
position:relative;
top:35px;
width:600px;

}


That above will all depend on how you want to style and position your box.
