Hello all,

I would like to add a new position beside the slideshow position (frontpage) with a width of at least 300px. Can someone provide some guidance on how to do this?

thanks

Hey There:

My first recommendation would be to perform a search (in the upper right field just below the main forum navigation menu) for “create new module position” and look through some of the previously asked/answered Forum questions for the concepts involved.

You can also try a search through just the JA ERIO Forum Section for similar questions that have been asked/answered – and the solutions they were able to come up with.

In case that link doesn’t work for you, you can initiate your own search within the JA ERIO Forum. Just go to the main JA ERIO Forum section and, just above where the threads begin you will see “Search Forum.” Click on that and, in the field, type “New Module Position” or “Create New Module Position.” There are a number of results that come up.

Hope that helps you along your way, for starters.

😎

TomC,

Your response does not answer my question. I have already spent a few hours searching, and I have thus far reviewed information that have nothing to do with this template, . If I had more time, I wouldn’t need to post this this request, and I would spend the necessary hours researching. As it is, I don’t have the free time, which is why I posted this request. If you can’t post a direct link to what I need, then I will wait for someone who is willing to assist.

Thank you for your assistance

Well, my attempts to add a new mod position beside the slideshow position have failed, and there is nothing on the forum that will help resolve my problem. So my solution is not to use the slideshow position. Instead, I created 2 new mod positions above it which I will use.

You try this way. You edit erio template > goto layout tab > edit default layout, you replace

<block name="slideshow" type="modules">custom</block>
with

<block name="slideshow" type="modules">slideshow, custom</block>
You create a new module, set its position is custom, Module Class Suffix is _custom
You edit slideshow module, set Module Class Suffix is _slideshow, change Main item width is 640 (940 – 300)
You add this code into /template/ja_erio/css/template.css


#ja-slideshow div.ja-moduletable.moduletable_custom{
float:right;
width: 300px
}
#ja-slideshow div.ja-moduletable.moduletable_slideshow{
float:left;
}
