I am quite surprised that no one of the templates till now have included user modules available for banners (not tools) OVER the header. When you see some of the websites which are now more successfull (in financial terms, I mean, not only with many visitors, but also with advertiser supporting it... or even autopromoting sites for sales) have one panoramic big flash banner (or two smaller ones, flash or not-flash) over the header. Maybe it's not so easy to create a module position over header in jommla, I don't know. But I'm surprised, that's all.
Sorry, I'm not an expert, so probably I should read those tutorials.
However, perhaps my word was not exact. Instead of OVER, let's say ABOVE.
Even when there are module positions on the header, sizes are quite disapointing, as they are the ones if offered something above for just tools.
Let's say something like this (although there are many other examples):
I think he's asking for a leaderboard. Many sites use them top - center above the site. Usually 728x90, or more. They are used for rich dynamic media, more than just flashing banner ads. Usually most RT templates only have 468x60. Another popular size on portals is the 300x250, and it never seems to fit anywhere.
Well, Mack, I'm not sure wether the name is leaderboard. Maybe you are right, although in your link to CNN I don't see any. But it is so: top, center, abouve the site. Maybe I'm not good at this, but I haven't seen helpful the tutorials. Yes, they are to create some new module positions, but maybe I'm not doing well at trying to create a position above header. I'll keep trying. (The most complicated I see, the most rewarding will be, isn't it?) Thank you
