Version 2.5.0 for Joomla 2.5x - Based on DOM Scripting.<BR/>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 <A target='_blank' href='http://www.r3d.de/'>www.r3d.de</A>.<H3>Instructions:</H3>Please follow all steps below - get it working first - and then start playing with the settings and positions ;).<br>
Open this <a href='http://www.r3d.de/01_development/floater/2.5.x/readme.html' target='_blank'>readme.html</a> in a separate browser window for convenience.<br>
	<OL compact>
		<LI>Install the module using the Joomla Extension Manager.</LI><br>
		<LI>At first, we need to edit some template files (make sure you BACKUP and edit the template files in use!).<br>
		Using an Editor of your choice, open /templates/my-template-in-use/<STRONG>templateDetails.xml</STRONG> and ADD two new template positions called <EM>floatercontent</EM> and <EM>floatercontainer</EM>, 
		using the following code inbetween the positions tags (copy & paste the two bold lines below):
		<PRE>&lt;positions&gt;<BR> ...<BR><strong> &lt;position&gt;floatercontent&lt;/position&gt;<BR> &lt;position&gt;floatercontainer&lt;/position&gt;</strong><BR>&lt;/positions&gt;</PRE>
		</LI>
		<LI value='2'>Place the <STRONG>floatercontainer</STRONG> position inside your template at the end (right before the body end tag)<br>of your /templates/my-template-in-use/<strong>index.php</strong>, using the following code:
		<PRE>&lt;jdoc:include type="modules" name="floatercontainer" style="xhtml" /&gt;</PRE>
		</LI>
		<LI>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.<BR>Example: Click New, select 'Custom HTML' and enter following settings:
			<UL compact>
				<LI>Title: <strong>My Floater Content</strong></LI>
				<LI>Show Title: Hide</LI>
				<LI>Position: <STRONG>floatercontent</STRONG></LI>
				<LI>Status: Published</LI>
				<LI>Access: Public</LI>
				<LI>Custom output: Hello World!</LI>
				<LI>Module Assignment: <STRONG>On all pages</STRONG></LI>
			</UL>
		To float in ANY other module (like Newsflash etc.) just publish it at the floatercontent position.<br><br>
		</LI>
		<LI>Now open the <STRONG>R3D Floater</STRONG> module and edit to the following lines:
			<UL compact>
				<LI>Show Title: Hide</LI>
				<LI>Position: floatercontainer <STRONG>(NOT floatercontent!)</STRONG></LI>
				<LI>Status: Published</LI>
				<LI>Access: Public</LI>
				<LI>Module Assignment: <STRONG>SELECT THE MENU WHERE YOU WANT THE FLOATER</STRONG></LI>
				<LI>Basic Options: use the presets, later play with these settings until you are happy with the looks...</LI>
			</UL><br>
