R3D Floater Module

R3D Floater Module
Version 2.5.0 for Joomla 2.5x - Based on DOM Scripting.
You can float in ANY other module from the left browser edge to the right as far as you wish... See it in action: visit www.r3d.de.Instructions:
Please follow all steps below - get it working first - and then start playing with the settings and positions ;).
Open this readme.html in a separate browser window for convenience.
- Install the module using the Joomla Extension Manager.
- At first, we need to edit some template files (make sure you BACKUP and edit the template files in use!).
Using an Editor of your choice, open /templates/my-template-in-use/templateDetails.xml and ADD two new template positions called floatercontent and floatercontainer,
using the following code inbetween the positions tags (copy & paste the two bold lines below):
<positions>
...
<position>floatercontent</position>
<position>floatercontainer</position>
</positions>
- Place the floatercontainer position inside your template at the end (right before the body end tag)
of your /templates/my-template-in-use/index.php, using the following code:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="floatercontainer" style="xhtml" />
- Now we need to go back to the Joomla Backend. Go to Extensions -> Module Manager and create a new module of your choice at the 'floatercontent' position.
Example: Click New, select 'Custom HTML' and enter following settings:
- Title: My Floater Content
- Show Title: Hide
- Position: floatercontent
- Status: Published
- Access: Public
- Custom output: Hello World!
- Module Assignment: On all pages
To float in ANY other module (like Newsflash etc.) just publish it at the floatercontent position.
- Now open the R3D Floater module and edit to the following lines:
- Show Title: Hide
- Position: floatercontainer (NOT floatercontent!)
- Status: Published
- Access: Public
- Module Assignment: SELECT THE MENU WHERE YOU WANT THE FLOATER
- Basic Options: use the presets, later play with these settings until you are happy with the looks...
