opencart 1.5 how to add module in a header

Question

Please some one tell me how can I position modules like slider or banner in header or how can we define additional regions for the modules.

Answer 1

You must know that your new position is a new child.

file: catalog/controller/common/header.php

$this->children = array(
'module/language',
'module/currency',
'module/cart'
);

add your new position, like this:

$this->children = array(
'common/content_new',
'module/language',
'module/currency',
'module/cart'
);

now you can echo your new position in your header.tpl
