Hello,

That change would require few modifications of the template.

First, open the index.php file. In it find these lines:

<div id="header">
<div id="logo">
<a href="index.php"><?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename') ;?></a>
</div>
</div>

If you want to remove your site name from being displayed over the image, comment out or remove this line:

<a href="index.php"><?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename') ;?></a>


Now, to add a new position in a div for easy styling:

<div id="header">
<div id="flashbanner">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="flashbanner" />
</div>
<div id="logo">
<a href="index.php"><?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename') ;?></a>
</div>
</div>


Next, open the templateDetails.xml file in your tempalte folder. In it, locate the positions section:

<positions>
<position>user3</position>
<position>left</position>
<position>user4</position>
<position>debug</position>
</positions>

In it you have to add the newly added position. It should look like this:

<positions>
<position>user3</position>
<position>left</position>
<position>user4</position>
<position>debug</position>
<position>flashbanner</position>
</positions>

Now, you can simply publish your flashbanner module into the new position - "flashbanner". It will be displayed in that area.

However, you will need to tinker the css/template.css file to make it look the way you want
