You could still place the search module in an alternative module position (Extensions -> Module Manager -> New -> Search) if you wish.

Another option would be to create a new module position with the following...

Add the following to your templates header.php (../templates/j51_executive/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)

#header {

	position: relative;

}



#newmodule {

	position: absolute;

	height:50px;

	width:300px;

	top:25px;

	left:660px;

	margin:0;

	padding:0;

	z-index:99;

}

Edit the above to your own taste (top, left. height, width)

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 Ciarán,
thanks for your reply. If I convert the search area to a module position, I will have no search functionality?

Hi allouagne

May I suggest the following post which details how to convert the search area to a module position .. http://www.joomla51.com/forum/support/commercial-templates/j51-rendezvous-custom-module-in-hornav-or-sear#498

Ensure the search option remains enabled in your templates parameters.
