Hi apelsinskal

May I suggest the following post which details how to convert the top menu area to a module position allowing you to set up a multi-language menu module as normal (Avenue template but will also apply to our Chimera template)... http://www.joomla51.com/forum/support/commercial-templates/hornav-module-not-visible-in-avenue#627

Was wondering if it's possible to add a module position to this template. There is no perfect place to put the language flags... but this place (attached) would be great.

Try adding the following to your templates header.php (../templates/j51_chimera/php/layouts/header.php) just after <div id ="header" class="block_holder"> (line1)..

<div id="newmodule">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="newmodule" />
</div>

You must then style it with the following which you can add to the end of your templates template.css (../templates/j51_executive/css/template.css)

[code type=css]#header {position: relative;}

#newmodule {
position: absolute;
height:50px;
width:200px;
top:10px;
right:20px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
z-index:99;
}
[/code]
Edit the above to your own taste in particular top, left. height & width under #newmodule.

And that should be it. You'll find the position won't be listed in the positions dropdown so simply type it in to create (newmodule).

Hi! I tried to do it like this:

header.php contains:
<?php if ($this->countModules( 'headermodule' )) : ?>
<div id="headermodule" class="block_holder"><div class="module_margin">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="headermodule" />
</div></div>

So I edited it like this:
[color=#ff0000]<?php if ($this->countModules( 'headermodule' )) : ?>
<div id="headermodule" class="block_holder">
<div id="newmodule">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="newmodule" />
<div class="module_margin">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="headermodule" />
</div>
</div>
</div>[/color]

And template.css contains:
/*--Header Div--*/
#header {
position:relative;

So I edited it like this:
[color=#ff0000]/*--Header Div--*/
#header {
position:relative;

#newmodule {
position: absolute;
height:50px;
width:200px;
top:10px;
right:20px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
z-index:99;
}[/color]

I also changed the module position to newmodule.
But, it doesn't work. I only get a white space in the top of the page.
Anything wrong in my code?

Add the header.php code as it is...


<div id ="header" class="block_holder">

change to...

<div id ="header" class="block_holder">
<div id="newmodule">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="newmodule" />
</div>


The CSS code try adding to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters (Extensions -> Template Manager -> J51_Chimera -> CustomCSS.

Another question, I don't know it this is just for the Chimera template, but....

When I add custom HTML modules in the top locations (top-1a, top-1b, top-1c), and include a link to another page, I get a H1 heading in top of the article called "Articles".

Can't find how to remove this?

Usually best to create menu items for any links you use. If this is already the case you can then edit the parameters for your links via the menu items parameters (Menus -> [YourMenu] -> [YourMenuItem] -> Article Options -> Show Category -> Hide).
