Difficulty configuring the template

Hi guys,

I am new in Joomla and i need assistance in configuring this World News II template. I am developing a site for newspaper house and i need extensions to configure the news headlines and the breaking news slide/scroll. I also need the photo gallery extension as displayed in the demo.

Shintaku

My advise is to start from TWN II quickstart package where News Show Pro modules are configured. For image rotator you can use Image Show extension. Tutorial how to install quickstart package is available here >>
http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joomla-templates/templates-for-joomla-1-6/quickstart-installation-for-joomla-1-6/

I installed successfully the quick start. Every thing seems to be fine. I paid for the copy right removal and need to remove the Gavern frame work image under the copyright. I also need to remove the background paint on the style folder of the root folderwhere the logo appears. How do i effect the changes.

Please open template settings and look at 'Features' tab, there you can remove bottom framework logo, paste your copyrights etc. Please also choose 'Image' source for logo and select your image.

I want to create a module position on the place where the login and register is. How can you assist me to do that.

Shintaku.

If you are new at Joomla starting from modifying template code is not the best idea but if you really need this you should create new template position in this place. This process is described at our wiki and you can find step by step tutorial here >> http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joomla-extensions/how-to-add-new-module-position/

After following the instruction on the link on how to add a module position,
the module position was created but not on position where the sign in or registration .
How do we get it to the registration position.

Below is the code i added:
<?php if($this->modules(‘topadvert’)) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”topadvert” style=”<?php echo $this->gk_style['topadvert']; ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

I also created the module position after mainbody position with this code:
'topadvert' => 'gk_style',

What am i missing. I want it positioned at the registration area

Now all depends where you have paste this code. The module should be visible on place where you insert the jdoc:include part.

Now all depends where you have paste this code. The module should be visible on place where you insert the jdoc:include part.

I want the module position to be somewhere top right of the template. Kindly see the attached image for details.
What am I missing out? I have done all the steps at: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... -position/ correctly but can't still get?

I need your guide please?

Could you give me direct link to page where you have created this module position and it is visible ? I don't see your screenshot but don't know whether it is something with attachment upload or our post view layout.

Ok, here is the image at: www.specialisttutors.com/twn2.jpg

I want the module to be position just in the red spot (top right corner).

Thanks

You need to include module load code to file layouts/blocks/logo.php. Please find this line :

Code: Select all

<?php if((GK_REGISTER || GK_LOGIN) && !GK_COM_USERS) : ?>

and paste include part jest before this part.

Am still finding it difficult to place a module position there? I have located layouts/blocks/logo.php and pasted <?php if($this->modules(‘topadvert’)) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”topadvert” style=”<?php echo $this->gk_style['topadvert']; ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

But still can't get it, am not sure what the include part code is, help?

Look at my previous response, please find this line:

Code: Select all

<?php if((GK_REGISTER || GK_LOGIN) && !GK_COM_USERS) : ?>

and paste code before this part.

After pasting the code, I got this front end error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in /home/gubaru/public_html/test/templates/gk_twn2/layouts/blocks/logo.php on line 55

The front won't load at all?

See attached file for code line.

Hi

I was asked to join in other thread of @shintaku.

I've added this code into the /layouts/blocks/logo.php

Code: Select all

   <div id="topadvert"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="topadvert" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['topadvert']; ?>" /></div>


All modules placed in this module position are visible now. I've named this module position layer "topadvert" so You can now position it wherever You want with css.

If you still have problem with parsing error please revert your changes and let me know via PM.

Hi

You've ased in PM how to move it to the top right corner. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

#topadvert {
width: 200px;
float: right;
}


than You can play with width value to set the right size for it and also use a margin rule to move it to the exact place You want it.

Thanks, that fixed it.

hello, I can not top positions set to display as the original template.

Hi

I think it is a matter of configuration. Please install a quickstart in a different location and mimic all settings from module. Take a close look at module class suffixes. I think it will be crucial in Your case.
