Hello,

I am trying to create new position (slideshow), where I will put the Image Show GK4 module.
I need to create this module position between the header and the topsl blocks. Please advise me what the best option is 🙂
Also, if you can give me step-by-step instructions it will be perfect 🙂

P.S. I created the position in the topsl block but it is really not good. All modules are on the same line (row). I need the “slideshow” to be a separate line (row) just below the header and then below the slideshow I will user the topsl for other modules 🙂

Thanks for the response but with this steps I will create a module position in the “header”. I already created two module position in the “header” (for login and for social icons). Now I need to create a module position for the slideshow, not in the “header” so it can have its own background. I need this position (block) to be as wide as the header and the topsl, meaning the whole screen.
Basically, I want to create the same slideshow position as this one:

As you can see the “slideshow” is not in the “header” and at the same time not in the “topsl” 🙂
Thank in advance for any advises 🙂

I suppose it is something with module.php or modules.php. As per T3 FrameWork 2.0 documentation:

module.php and modules.php are block generators used to create blocks for special module positions needed by advertising modules, content sliders, etc;

But I really do not know where to start from. Please give me some step-by-step instructions. Thanks!

Hello,

I really like T3 Framework, Joomlart and Purity II. Yes, I’m new to all this stuff, I do not have much experience with it and that’s why I open new topics and ask for help. So far, I got really helpful answer fro Khoand and that’s it (from 4 topics). And everytime I find the solution myself. I know that you are very busy guys but I really need a small push (little help/just a hit) because for something small I loose 2, 3 days to find the solution.
Anyway, here is the answer of my question, the solution of this topic:

1. I copied the “header.php”, renamed it to “slideshow.php” and put it in “..templatesja_purity_iiblocks”

2. This is the content of the “”slideshow.php” file:

<?php

*/

// No direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
?>

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

3. Then I edited the “templateDetails.xml” and added the “slideshow” position:

<position>slideshow</position>

4. Added the block in the Template Admin (Layouts)

5. I logged in to the Admin panel and published the Image Show GK4 in the “slideshow” position and that’s it. Now I just need to play with the CSS 😀

Thanks for your help guys and I really hope that in the future I can get some help, because I’m a newby but I really have the ambition to become good Joomla designer (using T3 Framework) :p
