I changed this in the templates index.php file:
<?php if ($this->countModules('user5') && $ja_right) { ?>
<!-- BEGIN: TOPSPOTLIGHT -->
<div id="ja-topsl">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user5" style="raw" />
</div>
<!-- END: TOPSPOTLIGHT -->
<?php } ?>
Into this:
<?php if ($this->countModules('user5')) : ?>
<!-- BEGIN: TOPSPOTLIGHT -->
<div id="ja-topsl">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user5" style="raw" />
</div>
<!-- END: TOPSPOTLIGHT -->
<?php endif; ?>
To make the “slideshow” look like it is wide enough for the screen you need to change size of this image here: header-mask.png
This is a little trial and erro until you get the right width of it, but should be a easy task.
For a module in the body, you allready have a module position called “banner” below mainbody, will that do the job?
