#157026

Hey there!

I wanted to have the search box besides the megamenu so I added the following code to my template:

#1
Copy the mainnav.php from pluginssystemjat3base-themesdefaultblocks to your template folder templatesyour_templateblocks

#2
modify the following code from this:


<?php $this->genBlockBegin ($block) ?>
<?php if (($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) $jamenu->genMenu (); ?>
<!-- jdoc:include type="menu" level="0" / -->
<?php if ($this->hasSubmenu() && ($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) : ?>
<div id="ja-subnav" class="clearfix">
<?php $jamenu->genMenu (1); ?>
<!-- jdoc:include type="menu" level="1" / -->
</div>
<?php endif;?>
<?php $this->genBlockEnd ($block) ?>


to this:


<?php $this->genBlockBegin ($block) ?>
<?php if (($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) $jamenu->genMenu (); ?>
<!-- jdoc:include type="menu" level="0" / -->
<?php if($this->countModules('navsearch')) : ?>
<div id="navsearch">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="navsearch" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($this->hasSubmenu() && ($jamenu = $this->loadMenu())) : ?>
<div id="ja-subnav" class="clearfix">
<?php $jamenu->genMenu (1); ?>
<!-- jdoc:include type="menu" level="1" / -->
</div>
<?php endif;?>
<?php $this->genBlockEnd ($block) ?>


#3
Add the navsearch class to your template.css file like this:


#navsearch {
position: absolute;
top:0px;
right:0px;
}


You have to adjust the height and maybe make overflow hidden since this div lies above the MegaMenu.

#4
Add the search module to the moduleposition “navsearch” and publish it. You can write the moduleposition instead of adding it to the templateDetails.xml if you’re using AdvancedModuleManager. Otherwise open up your templateDetails.xml located in you template root folder and add

<position>navsearch</position>

Done! I hope this helps a little!

Hey shanemkelley,

the J1.5 version of the blank template didn’t have a blocks folder too.
You just have to create it and copy the mainnav.php from pluginssystemjat3base-themesdefaultblocks to your template folder templatesyour_templateblocks
You should be fine with my tutorial above even with the J1.6 version. Otherwise please let me know. I’ll install a J1.6 and have a look into it.

Cheers

When the coding is different you maybe use the J1.6 Version of the JA T3 Plugin and template? Check the J1.6 Tutorial.

Hi!,
since JA Ores is also based on the t3 framework, there must be a mainnav.php. look at the path described at #1 in my first post and copy it to you template dir. Let me know if anything is wrong. 😎
