Hiya

I would like to build a template that has the header fixed to the top of the page, on top of a module position so that on each page, I can change images, video, scroller etc, that is under the header.

Do you have a video explain how to create that sort of layout and how to add the section, layout container etc?

There are lots of templates with this sort of design but I can't find how they get the section/container to be under the header.

Thank you

Hello Eleanor,
in fact there's nothing special in locating Joomla Module position (and other control) under Header.
To make the Header fixed on screen add 'Fix on Screen' extensions to Header area:

FixHeader.png

Then drag and drop the Joomla Position Control under Header section

UnderHeader.png

Aileen

Hi

Thank you for helping me.

My header has a zig zag bottom edge to it and I am trying to get the joomla position to appear under the header so that the header covers over the top of the image. Like this...

header-over-image.jpg

Rather than 'under' the header, like this...

wrong-header-over-image.jpg

Thank you

Hi,

You can try to use the negative top margin values for the top sidebar.

Thank you, making progress.

Now, when the page is static the images still appear over the top of the header, but as soon as you start to scroll the images correctly disappear under the header. I have tried playing with the z index for the header and the images section but can't seem to get it to stay on the layer under the header. The component I am using for the image rotation is ignite gallery.

Any ideas? Thank you

Hello Eleanor,
to make the images be located "under" the Header add the following CSS under Home >> Settings >> Additional HTML

.large_img_holder {
    z-index: -1 !important;
}
