Need to have banner on userarea

Hi,

I want to have a banner on userarea position.

I have been able to align the logo to the left, but when I try to put a banner in the userarea position it does not show.

How can I get it to work please?

Hi
unfortunetly userarea is specyfic position for links like login/register. But you ca ntry add new module position in this place. Please read this article https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... -position/

Hello Konrad,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried adding a new module however using the guide. I followed all the steps however, nothing I assign to the new position I created is showing on the site.

Hi,
can you give me url to your site ? And write what you done.

Here is the link: www.dailytrust.com.ng/dailytrust

1. I added a new position - banner1 - in templatedetails.xml

2. I added the new position to gk.const.php.

3. I added this code below to default.php in layouts. When it did not work, i then added it to logo.php in layout/blocks

<?php if($this->modules(‘banner1’)) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”banner1” style=”<?php echo $this->module_styles['banner1']; ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Thanks

Ok send me Private Message with access to ftp. And access to your joomla backend.

Hello Konrad,

I sent you the PM yesterday. Have you had time to look into it yet?

Regards

Danjuma

I logged via ftp but I didn't have any folders.

Very sorry Konrad.

Please check again. I believe it has been corrected now.

Please check now. You made all steps right. But you copy code from article and paste it. If you do this in this way you will have error becasue this code use diffrent ' and ". I correct it.

Thanks Konrad.

I can see it now.

How can I make it to be to the right of the page instead and a bit lower?

Sorry to trouble you with this little detail.

Thanks

Danjuma

Please try add to override.css

Code: Select all

h1#gkLogo + div {
float: right;
padding-top: 30px;
}


and remember to enable override.css option in template settings.

Done that, and everything is fine as it should be.

Thanks a lot, Konrad.

Hello Konrad,

Sorry to bother you again.

I created a new position, topbar.

However, it appears centred and I need it to stretch the whole width of the site.

I will also like to give it the blue color of the site as background.

Thanks for your help.

Danjuma

I couldn't locate it in source code. Did you correct ' and " ?

It is in logo.php.

If you view the site now, you will see it showing a date module.

Thanks

Please add some id to div tag. In logo.php. For example "mybanner". Then please add to override.css

Code: Select all

#mybanner {
float: left;
width: 1020px;
}


Thanks. How do I create the id?

This is what I have in logo.php. I named the new position 'topbar'

<?php if($this->modules(‘topbar’)) : ?>
<div>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”topbar” style=”<?php echo $this->module_styles['topbar']; ?>” />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Change your code to this one:

Code: Select all

 <?php if($this->modules('topbar')) : ?>
<div id="mybanner">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="topbar" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['topbar']; ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


Ok. Thank you Konrad.
