    Hello,

    I tried a lot, but nothing worked so far with this template.
    What I want:

    On top of the Megamenu (ja-header, top.header) there is already a position called “top.top-panel”.
    I’d like to split this one in 2 columns/positions. The left one should be used for the languageswitcher module and also aligned left, the right one for a certain login modul which should be aligned right, but not with css (direction: rtl). Best would be if I could style both seperately.

    I tried these two option in default.xml:

    1.


    <block name="top-panel" type="module">top-panel</block>
    <block name="top-panel2" type="module">top-panel2</block>

    Problem: They are not next to each other

    2.

    <block name="top-panel" type="spotlight">top-panel, top-panel2</block>

    Problem: Can’t align first left, second right.

    Is there another option?

    Hello Tom,

    well, I tried that already but it didn’t work as expected. I’ll try another time but don’t know if it will work.

    Okay, here is what I did:

    Changed “templatesja_blazesblocksheader.php” so it looks like:

    <position>ja_tabs</position>
    <position>position-special1</position>
    <position>language</position>
    <position>login-special</position>
    </positions>

    When opening the page with “?tp=1” I can see the newly created postitions with the modules associated to it. But looking at the normal page I can not see these.

    What am I missing?

    Hi @tiganita,

    Thanks for the info. I notice that there’s a problem with the code you added in templatesja_blazesblocksheader.php, please check the code below :

    <!-- Language/Login -->

    <?php if ($this->countModules('lanlog')) : ?>
    <div id="language" class="lanlog">
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="lanlog" style="raw" />
    </div>
    <div id="login" class="lanlog" align="right">
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="login-special" style="raw" />
    </div>
    <?php endif ?>

    <!--//Language/Login -->

    to :

    <!-- Language/Login -->

    <?php if ($this->countModules('lanlog')) : ?>
    <div id="language" class="lanlog">
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="lanlog" style="raw" />
    </div>
    <?php endif ?>
    <?php if ($this->countModules('login-special')) : ?>
    <div id="login" class="lanlog" align="right">
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="login-special" style="raw" />
    </div>
    <?php endif ?>

    Thanks Adam M,

    that did work out.
    I should have known myself, but working on different things at the same time isn’t always good. 😉
