To Joomlart Staff,

Please refer to the default template, no need to view a users site to understand this.

Right now, the JA News is poaitioned to have the same width ast the content position. If one looks at the Demo, the Content position width is not ideal for three-column width JA News. It is just too ugly, and the layout is too odd, especially with a right or left aligned image.

What I want is a JA News position that will span the entire page. Just like my other inquiries about Positions 1,2,3 and 4, as well as placements of Positions 5, 6, and 7 (see other posts),

Cornelio

Hi,
I can’t see what position that you said. Could you give me a snapshot with your annotation?

Thanks khoand,

It will require creation of a new position. If you refer to the related posts

Positions 5,6, and 7 same width and spans the whole page

The new position will be sandwiched between the positions 6 =>10
and the footer, as follows:

• positions 6 =>10 (see revision, as you suggested in the linked thread above)
• new whole width span <= Create new position that will span the whole width of the page where to place JA News or some other modules
• footer
• debug

– You create <joomla url>templatesja_mesolite_iilayoutsblocksnewblock.php file with content


<?php if( $this->countModules('newposition') ): ?>
<div id="ja-newposition" class="wrap">
<div class="main">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="newposition" />
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
– Add this code into <joomla url>templatesja_mesolite_iilayoutsdefault.php file

<?php $this->loadBlock(newblock') ?>
before

<?php $this->loadBlock('footer') ?>
– You set position of new module is newposition

Thanks very much khoand,

You missed something in:

<?php $this->loadBlock(newblock') ?>

it should be

<?php $this->loadBlock('newblock') ?>

also, the “newposition” should be included in the

templateDetails.xml

to indicate there is a “newposition”.

By the way, I am considering subscribing to one of the Magento templates. Is the process of creating a new position, identical to the one you outlined here?

Sorry about my mistake.

To add newposition to position list. But you can type it on position textbox when you edit module

I don’t know because I don’t use Magento templates

Thanks again khoand,

I think it might work with Magento templates too, since the issuess raised here involve mainly layouting. I will buy one of the Magento temolates twhen I get my questions answered by the Joomlart staff.

JA Developer has not responded to my follow up questions (in other threads) yet regarding teh Magento templates.
