Hi,

I’m really struggling to get my head round these positions in JA Teline IV… I’ve followed the positions tutorials, but still to no avail.

From the original layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layout name="desktop">
<!--Extra css load for this layout-->
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="absolute" type="modules" style="raw">absolute</block>
<block name="header" type="header"></block>
<block name="topmegamenu" type="topmega"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav"></block>
<block name="topbar" type="topbar"></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="slideshow" type="modules" style="raw">slideshow</block>
<block name="topsl1" type="spotlight" special="left" specialwidth="66">sl1-l,sl1-r</block>
<block name="topsl2" type="spotlight">user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="middle" main-inner="1" colwidth="17">
<block name="content-top" style="raw">content-top</block>
<block name="content-bottom" style="raw">content-bot</block>
<block name="content-mass-top" style="raw" type="tabs">ja-news-1,ja-news-2,ja-news-3</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom">content-mass-bot</block>
<block name="right-mass-top">col-mass-top</block>
<block name="right-mass-bottom">col-mass-bot</block>
<block name="inset1">left</block>
<block name="right1">right1</block>
<block name="right2">right2</block>
</blocks>
<blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
<block name="botsl1" type="spotlight">user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
<block name="botsl2" type="spotlight" special="left" specialwidth="66">user11,user12</block>
<block name="footer" type="footer" main-inner="1"></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

I’m trying to add a position above ja-news-1 / 2 / 3 positions, but not within the tabs, so that the Featured News section is part of the ‘middle’ block instead of the ‘top’ block.

Hopefully that will also mean that the right column (col-mass-top, right-1, right-2, col-mass-bottom) spans the whole content (including the featured news).

Many thanks in advance for your help…

Hi HeR0,

Unfortunately, user1 is still in the top section, not in the mid section, so it’s still not suitable…

I need it to appear as the attached image…any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matgray87,

Try swap content-mass-top with content-top as below:

<blocks name="middle" main-inner="1" colwidth="17">
<block name="content-mass-top" style="raw">content-top</block>
<block name="content-bottom" style="raw">content-bot</block>
<block name="content-top" style="raw" type="tabs">ja-news-1,ja-news-2,ja-news-3</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom">content-mass-bot</block>
<block name="right-mass-top">col-mass-top</block>
<block name="right-mass-bottom">col-mass-bot</block>
<block name="inset1">left</block>
<block name="right1">right1</block>
<block name="right2">right2</block>
</blocks>

However, you need make some change in css for it.

Regards
