t3_bs3_blank

How can I add a module beside Main Menu section. I would like a search module next to the parent menu items. Example

home about us – contact us – search module

If you check the documentation you’ll see a section all about layouts, how to add a new block and how to add a module position to a block.

I saw that but didn’t get why you couldn’t add a module to the mainmenu block from the start. No worries thanks!

Hey nokki00,

You can do this if you edit the php file sin the template area. This can’t be done in the back end.

If you go to the /templates/t3_bs3_blank/tpls/blocks/mainnav.php

you will see a section that holds the main nav. You will need to modify this so that it doesn’t hold the whole container area of 12 columns. Then you can add another div that takes up the remainder of the width (to 12 columns) such as an 8 columns space for the navbar and 4 for the search module, and put the part that holds the search like it in the header.php, like this


<div class="head-search <?php $this->_c('head-search') ?>">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('head-search') ?>" style="raw" />
</div>


I know this isn’t exactly what you need to do, but you should be able to figure it out from there. It will certainly take some trial and error to get it exactly right. You will also need to test this to be sure that you haven’t messed up the responsive parts of it.

Does this help?

It sure does! I was on the right track too. I just didn’t think something so simple needed a block of code and I don’t mind adding the code to get the results. I will make it fit via the ini or css too.

Thanks!
