Centre Banners in Joomla Banner Module

[scottm]

Hi,

I'm using the standard Joomla Banner Module but the advertisements are defaulted to a left position.

I have tried editing the mod_banner file but the advertisements still appear on the left.

Here is what i did at around line 84:

Code: Select all

echo '<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href="'. $link .'" target="_blank"><img src="'. $imageurl .'" border="0" alt="Advertisement" /></div></a>';

What am i doing wrong?

I found this blog post that resolved this for me:

The solution to this problem is editing the file modules/mod_banners/tmpl/default.php : we need to tell Joomla to center each element.

You must edit this portion of the file

foreach($list as $item) :
?><div class=”banneritem<?php echo $params->get( ‘moduleclass_sfx’ ) ?>”><?php
echo modBannersHelper::renderBanner($params, $item);
?><div class=”clr”></div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

and we must add the <center> … </center> directive, thus having:

foreach($list as $item) :
?><center><div class=”banneritem<?php echo $params->get( ‘moduleclass_sfx’ ) ?>”><?php
echo modBannersHelper::renderBanner($params, $item);
?><div class=”clr”></div>
</div></center>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hi, I really need help with this same issue, however the code seems to be different for Joomla 1.7. Can anyone help? I really need to center the banners for this module..

[tappy52dog]

Okay, it seems that banner images (ie .gif files) that are uploaded in the banner component center fine in Joomla 1.7, however custom code (i.e. affiliate code) these banners seem to be stuck in left alignment. Anyone know how to fix this in Joomla 1.7 or 2.5?

</center>

This is for everyone that is using Joomla 1.7 (this fix may also work for Joomla 2.5). This file path is the same at: modules/mod_banners/tmpl/default.php, however the code is a lot different from Joomla 1.5. I have no idea why, but adding the center tag after the banneritem line like this: <div class="banneritem"><center> is what fixed it for me . I'm going to try in Joomla 2.5 too to see if it fixes it there too.

Note: I tried changing the CSS in my templates, but none of that made a difference. This was the only thing below that worked for me.

finally centered the banners for me... This line of code seems to be a lot longer in Joomla 1.7 as well. This is the code for Joomla 1.7 and the center tag locations that finally fixed this issue for me (note the change in center tag locations that I did on my site):

For some reason it won't allow me to post the full code for this fix. I even tried using the code tags, but the joomla forum just gives me a forbidden error.. Hopefully the Joomla team can fix the forum, as I would be happy to share this fix.. .

One line of code in your custom css worked for me.

.banneritem { text-align:center!important; }
