  • Having a little trouble with adding a module to a template

    • I added a few module sto a template, and at first everything worked out fine. I had a banner module added to the top and a search module added to the upper right corner. Problem happened when I decided to make the search module a login module instead. I changed the name of it in the index.php and in the css file. Now however, the module will not go to the upper right corner, it is stuck directly under the banner module. I tried different settings in the css positioning spots, but it made no difference. Also, when I go to the module manager in the joomla admin interface, login is not there as a choice of placing a module. The banner module I made is there as a choice, but the login is not. Any ideas?

    • If you replace the search, all you needed to do was unpublish the search module than publish the login module in the same position. No need to create a new position or rename anything.

      One thing you could try is going to Site -> template manager -> module positions and add a "login" position there, which will at least give you a "login" postition in module manager.

    • Ok now I can choose the login module, now to figure out how to position it. And yes, I know I could have left it named search and just published the login module there..but I like to do everything 100%..lol. However, if I can't get the login module to move, I'll try renaming it search and seeing if it moves. If it does, I suppose I will have to put the login module in the search module postion:(

    • Ok, you need to see which DIV the module is loaded into and position that from within the CSS. Do you have a live site URL?

    • Yea the site is http://cleanmywater.biz , but i found the problem:) I forgot to change the div id= to login..it still said search:) So of course when it referenced the css it was looking for #search, not login:( and so it put itself under the banner module since it saw no position data. I changed it in the module spot so it said login, -2 and i changed it in the css to say #login, but forgot the little div id= above the module info:) Anyways, thanks for the help:) Only thing I have left to figure out now is if I can get suckerfish functionality out of the split menu submenu:)

      Thanks,
