I am trying to set up a module position across from hot news… where that is extreme right, i want a position on that row extreme right.

I tried adding to the header file (see below)–no luck. My goal is to have a menu like the footer menu in that spot.

Thanks in advance.

<div id="ja-hot-news" class="wrap">
<div class="main">
<div class="inner clearfix">
<?php if ($this->countModules('hotnews')) { ?>
<div id="ja-hotnews" >
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="hotnews" style="JAxhtml" />
</div>
<?php } ?>

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

</div>
</div>
</div>

Hi

the issue is quite simple you have almost done correctly but the final thing should look like this:

<div id="ja-hot-news" class="wrap">
<div class="main">
<div class="inner clearfix">
<?php if ($this->countModules('hotnews')) { ?>
<div id="ja-hotnews" >
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="hotnews" style="JAxhtml" />
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($this->countModules('ja_newposition')){ ?>
<div id="ja-newposition">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="ja_newposition" />
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>

next open the file template.css abd add this

#ja-newposition{
float:right;
}

this would display the text to extreme right

what basically you had done is simply call the module position without wrapping it inside a div…this most likely is causing layout issue due to which you are not able to see the module even though its there.

now you would be able to view the position correctly

Hi prbalge,

I tried making this change in another template, using your code changes as a guide though the header code is different. The module will not right justify. Only addition was the code in blue. Added your css code addition too. My code semantics are wrong, somewhere…I tried the new module position both with div and no div, but no change at all. Any suggestions appreciated and thanks in advance for the help.

<div id="ja-topbar" class="wrap">
<div class="main clearfix">
<p class="ja-day">
<?php
echo "<span class="day">".date ('l')."</span>";
echo "<span class="date">, ".date ('M')." ".date ('d').date ('S')."</span>";
?>
</p>

<p class="ja-updatetime"><span><?php echo JText::_('Last update')?></span><em><?php echo $this->getLastUpdate(); ?></em></p>

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

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

</div>
</div>


EDIT > Figured out what was wrong to get it to right justify. Nice. Now working on styling issues…

Can you detail exactly where you want this new module position, preferably with an image. Also, is this still using JA_Ores?

Are you using the J1.6 version of Ores or the J1.5 version. As I am sure you are aware, the 1.6 version uses the T3V2 framework while the 1.5 version uses T3V1 so there are some differences.

No need to say sorry.

Open templates>ja_ores>layouts>blocks>header.php and add the bit I have highlighted in red below

<div id="ja-hot-news" class="wrap">
<div class="main">
<div class="inner clearfix">
<?php if ($this->countModules('hotnews')) { ?>
<div id="ja-hotnews" >
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="hotnews" style="JAxhtml" />
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($this->countModules('hotnews2')) { ?>
<div id="ja-hotnews" style="float:right;" >
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="hotnews2" style="JAxhtml" />
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>

That will give you a position called hotnews2. You may need to add some styling depending on your needs.
