It’s possibile to create a new position on top, before the logo to insert an horizontal menu module ?

Thank you korb,
But I don’t know which file(s) do I edit and which code do I add?
I want to add this position on top of the screen to add a kind of orizontal menu.
Can provide an example?

Each of the layouts have a separate file to manage the module positions. For instance default.php located in templates/ja_purity_ii/layouts. In your case you can simply change the block ordering in that file so the mainnav block should be above the header block.
So for this example, change these lines


<!-- HEADER -->
<?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>
<!-- //HEADER -->

<!-- MAIN NAVIGATION -->
<?php $this->loadBlock('mainnav') ?>
<!-- //MAIN NAVIGATION -->


to this code


<!-- MAIN NAVIGATION -->
<?php $this->loadBlock('mainnav') ?>
<!-- //MAIN NAVIGATION -->

<!-- HEADER -->
<?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>
<!-- //HEADER -->


Good day 🙂

Hi,
But I don’t want to change the block ordering!
I need to add another one! different from “mainnav”

In that case, open header.php block and create a new module position there, above the logo and make it width100% floating left adn the height you need, and then you can use the styling from bottom menu, or the styling from mainnav, as you wish.

Just try to use FireBug (if your browser is Firefox).

Don’t know if you need something like new menu above standard menu, but you can try this:

In templateDetails.xml add new position, i.e.

<position>newposition</position>

next put this code at the end layouts/bloks/header.php

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

Then go to template.css and assign style to fit this position with the rest of header.

div.newstyle {
background: url(../images/grad1-mask.png) repeat-x top #444;
border-top: 1px solid #666;
line-height: 1;
position: relative;
z-index: 9;
}

But this is just a very simple example how to add new module position, so don’t swear me 😉
