Teline is a great template but I would like to move the banner module so it appears either in place of the date at the top right of the header or just above JA News.

I have had a look at other posts but solutions suggested do not seem to be without problems (moving the right column etc) and some suggestions are not clear which files to edit etc.

Has anyone succeded in moving banners to any of these positions and if so can you let me know who to do it?

Once again, thanks in advance

I agree – as good as this template is, it really needs the banner moved to the area above the News section. I too tried to do this but it disrupted the other elements, regardless of how it is sized or centered.

Thanks for any help!

while I can’t provide a solution at this time, have you tried disabling most of the other page elements that get screwed up first (or commenting out them in the html) adding the banner position where you need it to be, turning it on then adding back the other elements one by one and adjusting stuff to suit?

I did, and it helped. 😀

I realized there was a problem with the <div> tags. When I moved the original banner html I wasn’t sure what to do with the <div> tags. I moved them too and it basically told the right column to load under the main area. So I went back and added one, then the other, then removed the first one I added, etc – and ended up getting it to work.

Having said all that – the Joomlart guys really should offer that as an option so we don’t have to fiddle with it ourselves.

Thanks again –

Can anyone help, again the solutions seem to a bit hit and miss

To be honest this seems a reasonable request for a licensed member to make, Joomlart should really offer a short document to show, step by step, how this can be achieved

Thanks

I totally understand you on this harveyf, however, if Joomlart should provide step by step guides on how to change anything in the templates, the documentation would be 100 pages long. Don’t misunderstand me, your request might be more than reasonable enough but I know for sure that there are at least 20 other requests as to how to change stuff which is also “required” to write something about.

Personally I think there should be some sort of wiki or something for each template. That way people who have made some changes to any type of code could add this to the wiki and thus make it easier for anyone to do any changes to the template.

Anyone else feel the same?

I feel the same with you, and will try to do that.
It’s now in my todo list :D, thanks ErikThorsen

It would be great if the CSS files were documenetd in the Wiki as well. Teline is a fantastic template, a real credit to the design tem.

However, the ability to fine tune it with a font change here or a colour there makes it even more useful and changing the CSS is a bit hit and miss at the minute

Anywa, thanks in advance. I guess I will have to wait for instructions on how to change the banner position until you can get around to the Wiki

Thanks again

This removes the date on top right: and put a banner there instead
In index.php from line 203 to 222

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">

<h1>
<a href="index.php">
<img src="<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/logo.gif" alt="<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?>" />
</a>
</h1>

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

</div>
</div>
<!-- END: HEADER -->
Replace with this:

<!-- BEGIN: HEADER -->
<div id="ja-headerwrap">
<div id="ja-header" class="clearfix">

<h1>
<a href="index.php">
<img src="<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/logo.gif" alt="<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename?>" />
</a>
</h1>

<div class="ja-day">
<?php if ( mosCountModules("banner2") ) { ?>
<div class="ja-day">
<?php mosLoadModules ( "banner2", -1 ); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>

</div>
</div>
<!-- END: HEADER -->
In the template_css.css file from line 1065 to 1090

div.ja-day {
margin-top: 5px;
float: right;
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
}

div.ja-day div {
float: left;
padding: 10px 0 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
width: 37px;
background: url(../images/day-panel-bg.gif) repeat-x top #333333;
color: #DDDDDD;
font-size: 90%;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}

div.ja-day span {
float: left;
color: #999999;
font-size: 260%;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding-top: 4px;
}
Replace with this:

div.ja-day {
float: right;
width: 480px;
}
.ja-day {
margin-top: 2px;
padding: 2px 0;
}
Didnt test it but give it a shot

@menalto: For some odd reason the banner is not showing up at all anymore. I tried this earlier but did not have the banner placed to replace the date, i just head it somewhere in the content area and it worked fine earlier but doesn’t show up now.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Alternatively, I’d like to keep the date, but add a small mod beneath it (screenshot attached).

Doesn’t have to be anything fancy, I just want to put some links in there, e.g. Subscribe to Printed Version, Newsletter Signup, etc…
