Greetings,
I am developing this Novation site in Joomla 2.5.6:
http://newmexicowomen.org/index.php
(don't visit http://newmexicowomen.org/ which is the temp page)

I have been asked to place custom HTML modules in the upper right area currently assigned to social media icons.

Can that template parameter be converted to a module position?

thanks,
Hope

Hi Hope

Your best option would be to create a new module position while disabling the social icons. To do so add the following to your templates header.php (../templates/j51_novation/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:300px;
top:50px;
right:20px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
z-index:99;
}

#socialmedia {display:none;}
[/code]
Edit the above to your own taste in particulat 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).
