First of all I really want to thank you for a such beautiful, useful and perfect design template.

The question is I want to add some new module position at the top of the frontpage and under the menu and user positions at the middle blocks not right or left, in fact i need it for puting advertising banners and also for using News GK3 Module that should be placed at middle page.

I tried to figure out with module design in Ja Purity II and I found all of the matters should be in layoutsblocks folders and in addition I read the module page ind docs.joomla but it seems a little bit different.

Moreover in this section of forum i didn’t find my answer, So It would be great if some help me and let me learn by some useful tips for putting some new module position in middle of page, particularly at middle top of frontpage

thank in advance for any attention.

Hi

It’s quite easy.
In your layout, for exemple left-main-right_square, there is several positions available but not activated. Just activate it in the file, exemple Ja_purityII/layouts/left-main-right_square.php :

$positions = array (
'left1' =>'',
'left2' =>'',
'left-mass-top' =>'',
'left-mass-bottom' =>'',
'right1' =>'right',
'right2' =>'',
'right-mass-top' =>'',
'right-mass-bottom' =>'',
'content-mass-top' =>'top',
'content-mass-bottom' =>'',
'content-top' =>'content-top',
'content-bottom' =>'content-bottom',
'inset1' =>'left',
'inset2' =>''
);

As you can see in the exemple, I activated content-top (that’s what you are seeking for) and content-bottom.

To have it available in the Joomla! administrator, you also have to open the faile templateDetails.xml in the Ja-purity II root directory and to had those positions :

<positions>
<position>hornav</position>
<position>breadcrumbs</position>
<position>search</position>
<position>banner</position>
<position>content-top</position>
<position>content-bottom</position>
<position>left</position>
<position>right</position>
<position>top</position>
<position>user1</position>
<position>user2</position>
<position>user3</position>
<position>user4</position>
<position>user5</position>
<position>user6</position>
<position>user7</position>
<position>user8</position>
<position>user9</position>
<position>user10</position>
<position>user11</position>
<position>footer</position>
<position>footnav</position>
<position>syndicate</position>
<position>debug</position>
<position>article-start</position>
<position>article-end</position>
<position>article-search</position>
<position>article-featureprod</position>
<position>google</position>
</positions>

In Joomla! each module can be displayed or not in the pages initiated by the menus.
For exemple, if your frontpage is displayed by “home” in the menu, and if you want to have your module displayed only there in content-top, open the module configuration and choose “select in the menu…” (something like that, my Joomla! is localised in French).

Like this, if your articles are published in section “news” and category “International”, you will surely have a menu to access this, named “news”. You module will not appear in the page displayed by the menu “news”, because it’s restricted to “home” menu entry.

That’s basic Joomla! things you know…I think you’d better to find a basic book on joomla! and to read it. 🙂

Please also, change your first post status to “answered”, like this other people will know there is an answer to your question in the thread.

Sincerely

Thank you so much for everything that you mentioned, i already knew that i can show / visible a specific modules by menu but i don’t have menu for each category, because i think it’s not nessesary for my webite so if there is no other way i have to.
anyway thank you for your time

Ok, I have perhaps an idea but never tested it.

Try to create an invisible menu targeting to your categories. You publish this menu in an invisible position, for exemple, hornav is an available position in JA-Purity II but not activated. Then everything published in hornav is activated as module, but not displayed.

You will find hornav in the position list when you will create the module mainmenu. Then perhaps you will be able to affect you content-top menu only for the categories spoted by the mainmenu in hornav. You see ?

Sincerely.

Hello…

This information you folks have posted has been a great help. I’ve got success due to your info.

This question may be related, so thought I’d carry it in this string.

I’d like to raise the main body up, snug to the main nav bar. I’ve changed the left column background color, and now there’s a space between the left column and the top nav bar.

Can this be done? Thanks so much in advance.

J
