To add a banner area across the template, you need to add in another div layer on both front.php and inner.php in the "header" div, preferrably after the <h1> call for formatting completeness.

So the code should mimic:
<div id="header">
<h1 = head">Stuff</h1>
<div id="banner">
<?php loadModule 'banner1' ?>
</div>
</div>

followed by <div id="core"> and so on..

You then add into the template_css.css file:

#banner
{
float: right;
width: some width equalling your banner width ;
height:some height equalling your banner width ;
}

I also sent you an email from the torqayfc.com contact page regarding the commercial aspects of the website.

Much appreciated

Absalom - not quite working yet but I think syntax should be
mosLoadModules ('banner1');
and not LoadModules 'banner1'

Right?

Also could you PM me re commercial stuff - I don't know how to access my site mail yet!!

Trv

OK - nearly got it working. Just needs to tweaking to get it top right - you may help me? (http://www.torquayfc.com). I've set banner width at 300 and height at 40 - that may be problem or is there an offset?

BTW the module position is banner not banner1 (my fault).
Thanks again for your help.

I didn't have the correct PHP calls handy at the time.. (nor did I have the template handy to test what I suggested)

Revised CSS:
#banner
{
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
height: 40px;
top:10px;
left: 475px;
}

Hi,

I'm using your corporate template for a non-profit org (or NGO using your word---I guess it must be a locale difference). it's very nice and I've only made some minor modifications to it. One I would really like to do but haven't found it for some reason in the CSS is changing the background color of the newsflash module. I've been able to put some color in it but not without the background on other parts of the template changing. The same for the right side navigation area (which you can see I've already changed but I want to go darker on that and lighter on the text for both of these areas)

And the trimod area...can I selectively add color to those areas one at a time...or a different color for each one?

The site btw is bodieslikeours.org

Thanks bunches,

Betsy

Hi Absalom,

thank you for your nice template.
I've hacked it a while, look at http://cmvvm.vinon-soaring.fr :
- fixed width
- a flash header. Unfortunatly, the flash shows up right in IE, but look quiet ridiculous in firefox ... I need a help around that ...
- removal of top cssmenu

Thanks again.

Okay, the problem with firefoxsolved now.
see http://cmvvm.vinon-soaring.fr to see a hacked corporate template.
- fixed width
- a flash header.
- a different header image per section.
- removal of top cssmenu
