Title: how do i place one module on top of another? Post by: offsprg01 on August 25, 2008, 03:31:07 PM ok so i have a flash file that i need as a background for another module. i'm using mod_flash to insert the flash file, beucase the satay method seems to break the simple image rotator module for some reason ???. anyway i was wondering if i can use z-index to drop the mod_flash behind the user login module on the left side of this site.

No, unfortunately there is no way to get flash to show behind DIVs that I know of, it always takes precedence over DIVs/CSS. Regards, Title: Re: how do i place one module on top of another? Post by: offsprg01 on August 26, 2008, 05:36:17 PM well i know i can use z-index to move a flash file behind other objects. although it can be trickey in i.e. i;m just not sure where to i need to apply the css style, or how to target on specific module. i was thinking maybe module suffix? but i;m not exactly sure how that works.

Just went to your site and I don't see the login module published to the left side but what you can do is grab "firebug" for the firefox browser. It is an amazing plugin that will allow you to hover over your website and it will show you from what CSS file each entity is being output so you can then determine where to add the z-index.

Post by: offsprg01 on August 27, 2008, 12:27:40 PM i move the login module to the right side under the community page. convinced the clinet it looked better there :). but i'll definatly grab fire bug.
i do have one last question on this project though. i've been trying to get sucker fish drop downs to work on the navigation at the top of the page, but i can't seem to get the link to show up unless you first click on the link that they are under. to see what i'm talking about check out dev.parkplacerockwall.com . then click either the community link or the about park place link, then one the page refreshes mouse over the same link you clicked. what i'd like to happen is to have these links appear when youmouose over the link anywhere in the site. currently you have to be on the page above the links in the navigation. anyone have any idea's how i can fix this?

Its not outputting the sub categories (the secondary <ul><li> items) until the parent is active it seems. You will have to either edit the php code and change this or get a new suckerfish.php file for this menu.
Title: Re: how do i place one module on top of another? Post by: offsprg01 on August 28, 2008, 07:53:44 AM but i didn't use a suckerfish.php file? i just editied the css file to include menu suffix, that has the suckerfish css in it.
Title: Re: how do i place one module on top of another? Post by: jonahh on August 28, 2008, 01:03:40 PM There is also most likely another php file in the root of this template folder besides index.php that controls the menu output. You would have to edit this file.
Title: Re: how do i place one module on top of another? Post by: offsprg01 on August 29, 2008, 09:03:51 AM ok i'll poke around and see if i can find it when i get back from meetings this morning
