I need to add a new module position at the top of the JA Anion template. We are using Joomla 3.

I have attached a diagram to show what we want to do. Can you provide the template code alterations and locations of files to do this.

thanks,
Frank

Hi

To add a new position try in this way

From your backend go to Extensions >> Template Manager >> Ja_Anion-Default >> Options Tab >> LAYOUT Tab>> Default Layout >> Edit

<blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
<block name="topbanner" style="raw">topbanner</block>
<block name="headbannerer" type="header"></block>
<block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
<block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" markup="3"></block>
</blocks>

That’s the TOP section of the template , as you can see in RED i added a new block named topbanner that’s your new position name

save it and go to this folder templatesja_anion edit the file templateDetails.xml adding the new position in the positions section

<position>syndicate</position>
<position>debug</position>
<position>topbanner</position>
</positions>
Save it

Now you need to customize the position as you wish adding the style in this file templatesja_anioncsstemplate.css

#ja-topbanner { height:xxpx; margin-bottom: xpx; ........}
