Hi,

Please try with this

[PHP]<?php if($this->countModules(‘cus_mod1’)) : ?>
<div id=”ja-header” class=”wrap”>
<div class=”main clearfix”>
<div id=”cus_mod1″>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”cus_mod1″ style=”xhtml” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

accordingly to that you want to change template.css and add position as cus_mod1 to xml file

Thanks

Do I put that php code into this? /plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/blocks/mainnav.php

When you say “add position as cus_mod1 to xml file” does that mean add it as a block into the default template Layout? If so what is the code?

Thanks

Assuming I am suppossed to put that php code into the mainnav.php, then here is what it looks like now:

?>

<?php if (($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) $jamenu->genMenu (); ?>
<!-- jdoc:include type="menu" level="0" / -->

<?php if ($this->hasSubmenu() && ($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) : ?>
<div id="ja-subnav" class="clearfix">
<?php $jamenu->genMenu (1); ?>
<!-- jdoc:include type="menu" level="1" / -->
</div>
<?php endif;?>

<ul class="no-display">
<li><a href="<?php echo $this->getCurrentURL();?>#ja-content" title="<?php echo JText::_("SKIP_TO_CONTENT");?>"><?php echo JText::_("SKIP_TO_CONTENT");?></a></li>
</ul>
<?php if($this->countModules('cus_mod1')) : ?>
<div id="ja-header" class="wrap">
<div class="main clearfix">
<div id="cus_mod1">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="cus_mod1" style="xhtml" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Is that right?

And assuming I would add this to my default Layout:

<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
<block name="cus_mod1" type="modules" >cus_mod1</block>

Is that right?

i thought redsent having the problem.any how if you wan to add module to mainnav.php then you want to change the div ID

[PHP]<?php if($this->countModules(‘cus_mod1’)) : ?>
<div id=”ja-menunav” class=”wrap”>
<div class=”main clearfix”>
<div id=”cus_mod1″>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”cus_mod1″ style=”xhtml” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

this is one way of adding module to the place you want.but please come with clear question then its easy to answer.or if you can put a screenshot or live url then its easy.

Thanks

So where does this code actually go, in the header.php file or in its own file?

If you let me know which files need amending I can send them

screenshot attached, i’d like to add module positions in the header block, at present it only shows the logo and search bar, need to be able to put modules in their as well.

Ideally I’d like to learn how to do this my self so seeing which files have been amended and how would be a great help.

Cheers.

Paul
