See attached image. I’m missing a step somewhere. I need to add a module position so that the social icons (or anything else I’d like to put there) will be on the right side of the logo – close to the right border.

I have done the following:

1) Added a position to templatedetails.xml (see bolded line)

.<positions>
<position>social</position>
<position>hornav</position>
<position>breadcrumbs</position>
<position>search</position>

2) Here is the code located in: templates/ja_bistro/blocks/header.php (my addition in bold)

<?php $this->genBlockBegin ($block) ?>

<?php
$app = & JFactory::getApplication();
$siteName = $app->getCfg(‘sitename’);
if ($this->getParam(‘logoType’, ‘image’)==’image’): ?>
<h1 class=”logo”>
<a href=”index.php” title=”<?php echo $siteName; ?>”><span><?php echo $siteName; ?></span></a>
</h1>
<?php else:
$logoText = (trim($this->getParam(‘logoText’))==”) ? $siteName : JText::_(trim($this->getParam(‘logoText’)));
$sloganText = JText::_(trim($this->getParam(‘sloganText’))); ?>
<div class=”logo-text”>
<h1><a href=”index.php” title=”<?php echo $siteName; ?>”><span><?php echo $logoText; ?></span></a></h1>
<p class=”site-slogan”><?php echo $sloganText;?></p>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if($this->countModules(‘social’)) : ?>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”social” />
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if( $this->countModules(‘top’) ) : ?>
<div id=”ja-top” class=”clearfix”>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”top” style=”raw” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php $this->genBlockEnd ($block) ?>

I created a custom HTML module and assigned it to position “social”. It’s not showing up.

Progress. Module appears but it is UNDERNEATH the logo and I need it on the SAME line as the logo. I can see that position TOP (which houses the logo) takes the entire width of the template. So I need to know how to make it less wide and place the social module up on the same line.

Thanks so much!

I followed the steps I outlined in my original post. And turned ON the module that I assigned to social.

Now, I can’t figure out how to get the module “social” to appear on the same “line” as the logo. TOP spans the entire width (where the logo appears) of the template. So now I’m stuck.,

Hi tphmedia,

I managed to get a new module in place by adding to header.php and also to templatedetails.xml

Then I needed to style things with a bit of CSS. I wanted to add something next to the logo for minisite and before tollfree. So I wrapped tollfree and my new div in a wrapper div and styled this with css. I tried it using firefox first.

I’m thinking you might need to define things like width, margin, padding and float to your divs to get them to look exactly as you want.
