Hi Ramona

Have you considered simply adding a second module to each of the content-top module positions. Your second module in the same position will appear below the first module of the same position.

Would you have a URL to an example of the slogan you wish to wrap to a second line?

Hi Ciaran,

we are a non profit association with an animal shelter and hosted the template due to testing configuration on a free webspace so we haven't changed colours, fonts and backgrounds to ours.

Here you can see our "problems": http://zwielicht.bplaced.net/index.php/tierheim/aktuell

The black area is where the slideshow has to be later. It has to be smaller than in the showcase, in the right sidebar has to show up our "urgents" right underneath the menu. so the slideshow is placed in the content-top. Two or three short news messages, that have to be between content and slideshow separately can't be placed without additional content-top. They have to be side by side but loadposition in the content area shows them one after the other. So the best solution would be another content-top-line.

The big TSV is where our sheltername would be. Underneath that logo-text we want to write the shelter-adress and telephone/email in a second slogan line. As an alternative adress, phone and email could be on the right of logo and slogan. But how to place it there?

Sorry for my english mistakes but I hope you can understand what I mean

Hi Ramona

Adding extra modules in the content-top area wouldn't be possible without changes across a number of template files. An alternatively solution that may work with minimal effor is to create a module position to the right of the showcase position. To do so replace the contents of your templates slideshow.php (../templates/j51_oxygen/php/layouts/slideshow.php) with the following..

<?php



?>

<table border="0">

<tr><td>

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



		<?php if ($this->countModules( 'showcase' )) : ?>

				<div id="showcase">

					<div id="showcase_padding">

						<jdoc:include type="modules" name="showcase" style="none" />

<!-- 						<div id="showcase_base"></div> -->

					</div>

				</div>

		<?php endif; ?>

		

</div>

</td>

<td>

		<?php if ($this->countModules( 'showcase-module' )) : ?>

				<div id="showcase-module">

					<div id="wrapper_showcase-module" class="block_holder_margin">

						<jdoc:include type="modules" name="showcase-module" style="mod_standard" />

<!-- 						<div id="showcase_base"></div> -->

					</div>

				</div>

		<?php endif; ?></td>

</tr>

</table> 

<div class="clear"></div>

This will create a position called showcase-module.

You may also need to ask something like the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters..

[code type=css]#showcase-module {
float:right;
width:auto;
}[/code]

Many thanks for your efforts I'll try it but I think it will be displayed above the slider, which is placed in content-top. But it has to be underneath the slider only on top of content area so it doesn't push the sidebar down.

The lot of numbers of template files that have to be changed for adding additional content-top I saw because some of them I found, for example php.ini and variables.php. And a simple done mistake is then hard to find.

So I'll try your probposal, otherwise I work with just one info/news-message with load-position and the others I'll put in content-bottom.

Due to my problem of a second slogan line I think I found an alternative in your forum. I think I can put the slogan completely into a modul and with that I replace the social icons like in this thread: http://www.joomla51.com/forum/support/commercial-templates/need-to-convert-template-param-to-module-position#1593 Do you think that is the best solution?

Thought I can put a html-break into the slogan in template configuration but it unfortunately it doesn't work. It then shows the break tag in the slogan line.

Hi Ramona

Going with your <br /> suggestion it is possible to allow your slogan field to accept HTML by editing the following line in your templates templateDetails.xml (../templates/j51_oxygen/templateDetails.xml)..

<field name="sloganText" type="text" default="A JOOMLA51 TEMPLATE" size="40" label="Slogan text" description="Slogan Text" />

Change to...

<field name="sloganText" type="text" filter="raw" default="A JOOMLA51 TEMPLATE" size="40" label="Slogan text" description="Slogan Text" />

You can then simply add something like A JOOMLA51 <br /> TEMPLATE in to your slogan field.

Many thanks!!!! That is great

New problem: few articles from a special categorie have to be shown in the sidecol-b. That works, but there is a difference between firefox browser and IE. For better understanding I put screenshots of both to the attachments of this posting.

Yoe can see that in Firefox the image from the article is shown proportional, in IE not.

How can I solve this discrepance?

Hi Ramona

May I suggest setting a height and width to your images matching that of the real image dimensions.
