    OK a ‘Full Banner‘ is 468x60px (Same size as Joomlas default banner module). We’re going to place one in the Header area of Teline III like so….

    Ok so first thing we need to do is move the search module out of there. We could put it to the far right of the Pathway but I’m going to add it to Mega-Menu at top right.

    Open the Search module in the Module Manager and select ‘mega-item‘ in the positions box and set Show Title to YES (This is important!). Click ‘Apply‘. Change the ‘Order‘ list to where you want the Search link to be and click ‘Save‘.

    Now open your template.css file and on line 209 find:

    #ja-search {
    float:right;
    margin-top:20px;
    }

    and change to:

    #ja-search {
    float:right;
    margin:0;
    }

    Now Open your Module Manger and click New. Select ‘Banner‘ and Save.

    This will open your new banner in the Module Manager. For this tutorial we’ll just use a Joomla Banner.

    Give the module a title and select Show Title: NO. In the positions box type ‘search‘. We could create a new position or rename the search position but for this tutorial we won’t bother :P. Set Menu Assignment to ALL (if you wish).

    In the settings on the right… For Count: set to 1, for Banner Client select Open Source and set Category: to Joomla Promo. For Randomise set it to ‘sticky, randomise‘ and your done.

    Only problem I have is that with flash banners the megamenu loads behind the flash, is this a z-index thingy? it takes a feat of genius to login 😀

    Heh, yes, probably z-index, I noticed a similar issue but not focused on it yet, busy experimenting with other things first, find the value in the css file and try modifying it.

    flash ignores the z-index and is on a special layer that is always in front. You need to change the WMODE of the flash. Try windowed or opaque I think. Should be in the embed script or if your using an extension it may be int he parameters.

    Great, I’ll check that out, never had to deal with a flash issue like that before so its good to know, I think I noticed if I try the hellome module from jomsocial in a mega-item position something similar to the problem described was occuring in Opera, although it wasnt so much visual, it just seemed the module was disappearing even though I was mouseover the layer, will have to check it out in more detail come the time.
