Hi all

I want to add a banner to the header of this template, where the search panel is on the right.

I have enabled the banner module already and wonder what I need to do to get a banner to show in that position.

I have a banner image loaded already in the correct client and category and have disabled the Search module.

I need it to show my 468 x 60 pixel banners.

Also, I need a banner expiry feature. This involves adding a date to each banner in the Banner module perhaps, so that when the daye passes, another banner in that category automatically appears next.

Thanks

Munders.

Hi,

As you want to remove the search position and have the banner position in its place, open this file

templatesja_selenilayoutsblocksheader.php

find this code

<?php if($this->countModules('search')) : ?>
<div id="ja-search">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

and replace it with this

<?php if($this->countModules('banner')) : ?>
<div id="ja-top-banner">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="banner" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

now open the file templates/ja_seleni/css/template.css

add these lines

#ja-top-banner {
position: absolute;
bottom: 10px;
right: 10px;
}

This will now display banner where your search position is.

Hi, and thanks for your reply.

I added the code and did what you said but it still doesn’t work.

I have my module activated aswell.

Any other ideas please?

Thanks

Hi,
The code definitely works. I tested it in all browsers.

This is the result (in tp=1 view) – this would also display the module position

If you have any live URL let me know so I can have a look at the error.

Hi,

One reason why your banner might not be displayed is that it does not have the menu correctly enabled.

Open the Banners from the Module manager – these are the settings I have –

Do let me know the result.

Dear prbalge

I followed your instructions and the banner showed up but not in the expected position. Any ideas where I need to make any further changes.

hi..

the banner display is controlled by this ja-top-banner

kindly check if the div id=ja-top-banner & css have the code…for #ja-top-banner

thanks

Is it possible to take this one step further and have a 728×90 banner in this position?

A lot of Magazine sites these days have a large banner up top and i guess you can charge more for this ‘prime’ position.

yes definitely you could add a 728X90 template without much problem using the above procedure.

the above screenshot of right aligned banner was from firefox. if you have any live site I can check if you have some setup done wrong. Or if you are on local system… kindly post your codes for following files

screenshot of how the layout is coming up
and screenshot of the banner setup in modules
