    Hi,

    I’m trying to add an additional block above content-mass and right block and I’m having some difficulties.

    I’m not very familiar with codings to a step by step guide would be very appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You do following steps:
    – Open Template Manager
    – Choose default template (your case is Rasite)
    – Choose Layout tab
    – Edit default layout
    – Add this code
    <block name=”breadcrumb” style=”raw”>breadcrumb</block>
    before <block name=”content-mass”> and <block name=”right”>

    You can refer to http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/Guides#Layouts_Panel

    Come on Joomlart team.. I’ve asked for help so many times and most of the time I end up spending hours to do it myself.

    I really need help with this. Would really appreciate if the team can spend a little time on this.

    Thanks mate. 🙂

    I tried it and it still did not work for me. I put in ?tp=1 and I still can’t see the block. Not sure why.

    Dear milsirhc,

    You can add a new block as child block of the top blocks,try like this
    Go to template manager >> your template >> Layout tabs ,go to edit your actived layout,you would see block like this
    <block name=”topsl” specialwidth=”30″ special=”right” type=”spotlight-top” >user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>

    You can add below it this block

    <block name=”breadcrumb” type=”modules” >your module positions</block>

    Now you have a new block that displaying above the main body section.

    Example: the code you add

    <block name=”breadcrumb” type=”modules” >custommodule</block>

    And when you choose position for your module, if no custommodule position, you do following steps:
    – Open <joomla url>templatesja_rasitetemplateDetails.xml file
    – Add this code

    <position>custommodule</position>
    before this code (at line 72 if you haven’t modified this file)

    </positions>

    Hi dathq,

    Appreciate your help with this.

    I tried adding the code below the topsl block and assign the module to that position but it is not displaying still.

    My code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <layout name="desktop">
    <!--Extra css load for this layout-->
    <stylesheets>
    </stylesheets>
    <blocks name="top" style="xhtml">
    <block name="absolute" type="modules" style="raw">absolute</block>
    <block name="top-panel" type="modules" style="raw" main-inner="1">top-panel</block>
    <block name="mainnav" type="mainnav" main-inner="1"></block>
    <block name="header" type="header" main-inner="1"></block>
    <block name="cpanel" type="usertools/cpanel"></block>
    <block name="topsl" specialwidth="30" special="right" type="spotlight-top" >user1,user2,user3,user4,user5</block>
    </blocks>
    <block name="breadcrumb" type="modules" >breadcrumb</block>
    <blocks name="middle" colwidth="30">
    <block name="content-mass-top" >content-mass</block>
    <block name="inset2" width="25" >left</block>
    <block name="right1" >right</block>
    </blocks>
    <blocks name="bot" style="xhtml">
    <block name="cs" type="modules" style="raw" no-main="1" >ja-cs</block>
    <block name="tabs" type="modules" no-main="1" style="raw" >ja-tabs</block>
    </blocks>
    <blocks name="bottom" style="xhtml">
    <block name="botsl" type="spotlight" style="JArounded" >user6,user7,user8,user9,user10</block>
    <block name="footer" type="footer" ></block>
    </blocks>
    </layout>

    Thanks mate.

    I tried it but still no luck.

    If I put the new block within the <blocks name=”top” style=”xhtml”></blocks>, the breadcrumb appears.

    However, if I put it as a new block or within <blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”30″></blocks>, it does not appear..

    This is confusing!

    Sorry for make you confusing, my fault.
    – You put this code into <block name=”top”></block>

    <block name="breadcrumb" type="modules" >custommodule</block>
    This step add breadcrumb block (position name is custommodule). But when you create new module, you can’t choose custommodule position because custommodule position isn’t available
    – To custommodule position is available, you do following steps:
    + Open <joomla url>templatesja_rasitetemplateDetails.xml file
    + Add this code

    <position>custommodule</position>
    before this code

    </positions>
    + Clean cache by click JAT3 Clean Cache link

    Hi khoand,

    Getting closer! It is displaying in the top position but what I need is to put it on top of the main content page:

    I guess I’ll need to create a new position that fills up the entire top middle block?

    Mate, if you ever come to Sydney, let me know and I’ll buy you a beer for your kind effort!
