I want to add a module position aligned right on top of the template, i.e. above the header/top menu positions. It should be used to display a row of Joomfish flags for language selection. Can anyone walk me through how I go about this? Your help is much appreciated.

Hi again, following advise in previous threads, I have successfully added the new module position, called "Joomfish" into the template by:
1. Adding this to the template.xml file:
<position>joomfish</position> (as last item in the position listing)
2. Adding this to the template.php file:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="joomfish" />
as first item like this:
</div>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="joomfish" />
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="user3" />
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="banner1" style="artstyle" artstyle="art-nostyle" />
<?php echo artxPositions($document, array('top1', 'top2', 'top3'), 'art-block'); ?>
<div class="art-contentLayout">
<?php if (artxCountModules($document, 'left')) : ?>
<div class="art-sidebar1"><?php echo artxModules($document, 'left', 'art-block'); ?>
</div>
This adds the module position to the template, but places it hidden at the lower end of the menu (user 3) and not - as intended - above the header. Can anyone advise how I make it position like I want it to? The url is www.anotherproject.se/greenhand.
Thanks in advance!

The best way to add a module position to any place on your web page is to wrape it with DIV
like the sample below:
<div id="joomfish">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="joomfish" />
</div>
you can add it anywhere on your page, and to check if you added the position n the right place , you need to go to your web site and type:
http://www.yourDomain.com/index.php?tp=1
then you will see all the positions.
to be able to put any module through the administrator you should do 1 more thing as mention abouve:
<position>joomfish</position>
add this line to the file in your template that call- templateDetails.xml
important:
to play with the width and height of the module, you need to create a parameter in the CSS file.
for example :
#joomfish{ width:200px;
float:right;
margin-right:50px;
}
any question, email me

Acctualy I manage to make the module show uo ( so I can see the flags) but they don't seems to be active , ...I can't click on them to be able to change the language...

Should anyone still cares about a possible solution:
Most probably the flags are not active simply because they have lower z-index than necessary. Try adding the last 2 CSS commands to the joomfish div styling:
position:relative;
z-index:1000000;

HI, I am a little bit confised with these explanations, and artisteer support is not answering
adding this "<position>joomfish</position>" to the xml file really adds the possibility to place the joomfish flags in joomla
but I absolutely couldnt find out where to insert this in the template : <div id="joomfish">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="joomfish" />
</div>
so that the flags would show above the banner. the best I could make was to make them show on the right somewhere in the background.
it would help if someone could paste a larger copy of the code than the one being inserted so that i could find out where to put it.
Thanks in advance, Marc

Which file is it exactly?

In the CSS file I would imagine in the Joomfish div that you created there?

The file is your template.css file in your default template. Also, I was able to adjust the sheet distance from the top after I got the module situated so it's in the perfect spot. Make sure you have your position set right too so it lands over your sheet.
Thanks for all the great tips!

Strahil: You need to put the code in your template.css file.
I was able to include the new module into the header, but I need the joomfish flags in the top menu...
Can somebody explain how can I do that?/

added those codes to positions in files...
<div id="joomfish"> (by me <div id="advert01")
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="joomfish" />
</div>
.......and...
<position>joomfish</position>
add this line to the file in your template that call- templateDetails.xml
.......then...
for example :
#joomfish{ width:200px;
float:right;
margin-right:50px;
}
and now i want to move that module to the right side of the template.
i think i have to add to css file the absolute positions of module?
how can i do it?

Is it possible to take an existing module and resize it? i.e. Banner 1. I would like to make is small to hard code something beside it.

I have one little question, I normaly edited template.css following adi & Strahil tips, and normaly, all is workig great, but i am little confused by other css files:
print.css
template.ie6.css
template.ie7.css
Is there a need to edit those css files too - for some preventive? - Or.. those 3 css files are not too important for normaly displaying "flags" in ie6 and ie7?
P.S - sorry for my bad english

There is no need to edit IE style style sheets if your page is working well in IEs.

Here is an example of an above the header module in Artisteer:
http://midsouthnewz.com
The top leaderboard position was added to the template.xml file and then called through a div in the index.php file..add some styling in template CSS file and voila....
I also set up custom <div></div> in the template CSS and published them in the user3 pos via a custom html module...(mod_j15html is my fave)
I also edited my banner 1 file so that I could publish a menu in that position with the same -nav styling as User 3....
The whole bottom of the page is a custom div published in banner 6 (four column css and also calling loadmodules)

I've added two module positions on top of the header to display rotating images and a flash logo.
They work fine in FF4 and IE8, but the modules don't show up at all in IE7.
Any advice on how to make it show up in Internet Explorer 7?

Hi Gary, what if adding this doesnt resolve... everything works only it still seems at a lower layerpositiion somehow?
I have this in my template.css
/* mijn modulepositie */
#joomfish{ width:autopx;
float: center;
height: 100px
position: relative;
z-index: 1000000;
}
What else can i possibly do?

Ada: Did you build that website with Artisteer? If so may I see or have the files? I am trying to build a website with the curve in the header and have not been able to find out how to do it yet.
Thanks.
