Re: [request] left column with custom content (£30 Paypal offered)

turns out their browser was using an old cached version of the css file. I told them to press their F5 button a few times and that fixed it. Just got to let a few more users test it now and then I'm happy smile

fingers crossed for rest of the day!

Re: [request] left column with custom content (£30 Paypal offered)

Hey Rich Pedley thanks for the code and all, but i decided not to use it now, because it doesn't look good on my website. Any way here is the complete code he gave me.

First Put this at the end of you css.

/* Sidebar
-------------------------------------------------------------*/
#sidebar {    
    min-width:15%;
    width:165px;
     background:#000;
    height:450px;
    position:absolute;
    right:0;
}

#brd-visit {
    margin-bottom:14px;
}

#brd-main {
    max-width:83.5%;
    min-height:650px;
}

Change the width and height to which suits ur style.

Now open main.tpl and other tpl files and before this Code:

<div id="brd-main">

Add this:

<div id="sidebar">whatever content</div>

If you want to look like a block then rather the above code add this:

    <div class="main-head">
        <h2 class="hn"><span>Title of the Block here</span></h2>
    </div>
    <div class="main-content">

Content Here

    </div>

Well thats all what i learned.

Though i am using the portal by daris now, cause i need the panels there.

Re: [request] left column with custom content (£30 Paypal offered)

on IE I'm seeing the main content div sat at the very bottom of the  right side column.
So we're not quite out of the woods yet sad
any clues?

so you don't need it fixing in IE then?

my mind is on a permanent tangent

Re: [request] left column with custom content (£30 Paypal offered)

to fix ie you might have to add some positioning to brd-main

#brd-main {
position:absolute;
left:0;
}

but I haven't tested that, so it might need jiggling.

i still think, instead of all this stuff, there is an extension (Portal by daris) you people just need to edit it and remove the Index page stuff. so just panels and pages remain in it.
