Newbie question
« on: February 11, 2007, 11:29:52 AM »

Hi

I`m a newbie at Joomla so any help greatly appreciated.

I`ve nstalled Joomla, and uploaded the Vortex templet. I`m still figuring out how it all works, which is part of the fun anyway, but can someone tell me how I get rid of the Top menu item on the front page. The section above the Vortex graphic etc.

http://www.modox.co.uk.

Thanks for your help and hopefully I can start being helpdful on the forum at some stage.

You can do one of two things.

If you just want to get rid of the text that is up there and leave the empty space, you can unpublish the "top" module in your Administrator Console.

If you want to get rid of that space all together and move everything up, you can edit the template HTML in your admin console and remove this:

Code:
<!-- top module above header -->
<div id="top-mod">
<div class="shad-r">
<div class="shad-l shad-padding">
<?php mosLoadModules('top', -2); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Personally, I would use the "Comment" HTML tags (<!-- comments here -->)around that so it's commented out instead of completely deleting it. 

Let us know if that helps.

Excellent, thanks.

I can`t see a module called top in the Module Manager so I`ve just commented it out meantime.

Thanks again

Cool.  The name of the module was not probably "Newsflash", but it is in the 'top' position.  The picture below shows a module called "Member Log-In" but it is in the "banner" position.  I'm using the Sporticus template, so there are some differences in the module positions... Just pointing out the difference between a module Name and Position. 

Hope that helps.

Hello,
I commented out the code as you have written, but in IE6 the entire header disappears. If I uncomment it, it comes right back.

Any Ideas?

Yes I understand that. It's just that it would have been easy for me to help you if the link you supplied was using the template that you are asking a question about since I don't use that template, or if you had an image that described exactly what you want to remove.

See attached pic, is that what you want to remove (circled in red)?

Image representations are normally the best. Roland always uses them and cuts down the solution time by half. Something to keep in mind  Wink

No, I am trying to remove the very top div. There is nothing in it on my site. www.varacers.com.

Your could try this

1. Open template_css.css
2. Find
Quote
#top-mod .shad-l {
   height: 37px;
   overflow: hidden;
}
3. Change to
Quote
#top-mod .shad-l {
   height: 1px;
   overflow: hidden;
}

Hope that helps
