Hi!

I’m trying to remake an existing non-Joomla web site and of course I’m trying to achieve this with Joomla. Owner of the web site wants to have a graphic clone of the existing web site so I had to make some modifications of the JA Purity template which I’m using for this site.

You can see it on http://test.spletodrom.com, of course this is a developing site and it’s far from over in terms of design and content.

I added new module position right after main navigation.
In index.php I added following code:


<?php if($this->countModules('ja-newmodule')) : ?>
<div id="ja-newmodulewrap">
<div id="ja-newmodule">
<!-- load module for hot topic -->
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="ja-newmodule" style="xhtml" />
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

And in template.css I added this code:

#ja-newmodulewrap {
background: #000000;
padding-bottom: 30px;
float: left;
}

#ja-newmodule {
display: block;
color: #000000;
position: relative;
left: 180px;
}

In this module position I’ve put a flash file from existing site which I had to include in new site.

An the problem is:
When I set screen resolution lower than 1280×1024 (for example 1024×768), the flash file in added module position doesn’t adjust to site width (doesn’t shrink as the rest of the site).

I can’t figure out what did I do wrong, I’ve been playing with Firefox Web Developer for quite some time now and I just can’t fix it. Also I have an average knowledge of css & (x)html.

Oh, template width is specified in percentage (fluid) to 70. (backend template parameters). Also I’m attaching main css file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Elvis

Dear esedic,

As you are requesting heavy customization, I am afraid that you have to handle the changes at your end.
Alternatively, please take into consideration to post your requirements on Joomlancers.com to find a talent freelancer for your project.
I am sorry for not being of much help in this case.

You’re right that it’s a heavy template customization, but I’m need help just with one module that I added and I think it’s purely a CSS problem. I’ve seen other posts talking about problems with different screen resolutions and usually it was a CSS problem with certain div, but I couldn’t find appropriate solution. Also I think community shouldn’t discourage people from making template customizations, because I’ve seen so many similarly designed sites where you could immediately recognize which template they are using. Also I’m well aware that if I was experienced coder probably I wouldn’t be writing this. :-[ So I’m very thankful for all the help that community is providing in forums like this.

Thanks for taking your time and answering though!
