[Feature] Add a search position next to navigation.

Posted 14 years 7 months ago
- Hello,
  
  One feature that I seem to miss, is that the navigation position should either support horizontal alignment when adding more modules, be divided like the others (a,b,c,etc.) or add a position called search.
  
  What do you think about this? Because I think that the seach is always fitted nice next to menu. On the far right, (or left for RTL users).
  
  Thank you for Gantry

You can publish the search module in the navigation too (an tweak it a bit via css)
or you can add the a-f positions to the navigation

in the index.php of the template find line 54:

<?php echo $gantry->displayModules('navigation','basic','basic'); ?>

change it to

<?php echo $gantry->displayModules('navigation','standard','basic'); ?>

in the templateDetails.xml replace

<position>navigation</position>

with

 
<position>navigation-a</position>
<position>navigation-b</position>
<position>navigation-c</position>
<position>navigation-d</position>
<position>navigation-e</position>
<position>navigation-f</position>

find

<param name="position" type="position" default="navigation" label="POSITION"

change it to

<param name="position" type="position" default="navigation-a" label="POSITION"

and find

<param name="menu-type-suckerfishmenu-position" type="hidden" default="navigation"/>

change it to

<param name="menu-type-suckerfishmenu-position" type="hidden" default="navigation-a"/>

add

<param name="navigationPosition" type="positions" default="9,3" label="NAVIGATION_POS" description="POS_DESC">
<schemas>1,2,3,4,5,6</schemas>
<words>2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10</words>
</param>

right after

<param name="layouts" type="gspacer" default="" description="" label="" glabel="LAYOUTS" />

- Hi Henning
  
  Thanks for this short tutorial
  
  One question: I tried to add the navigation position to the advance template tab so I can force the positions.
  
  here is what I put in the templateDetails.xml file to add Navigation_pos to the advance tab:
  
  <param name="navigation" type="chain" label="NAVIGATION_POS" description="ADVANCED_DESC">
  <param name="showall" type="toggle" default="0" label="FORCE_POS" />
  <param name="showmax" type="showmax" default="6" label="POS_COUNT" />
  </param>
  
  somehow the force don't work ;-( I followed the steps mentioned above provided by you and the navigation a-f positions are available but without the force option.
  
  Thanks for your help in advance.
  
  Regards,
  Menelik
