[solved] 3-coloumn layout?

Post by eddie67 »

Hello.

How to use CMSMS for a 3-colomn layout?

1 coloumn is menus and such, which is OK.

But I want 2 coloumns, same size, for {content}
Like a blog layout..

So I can log into back-end and actually edit in coloumn 2 and coloumn 3.

Anyone?

Thanks
Eddie.

uhm.... like http://calguy1000.com

You should be asking questions specifically related to CMS Made simple here.
Not 'I don't understand how CSS works' questions.

I am by no means a CSS or XHTML expert... and with a little bit of googling, and a little bit of reading, and some TIME I was able to do this by myself.

if your question is not directly and specifically related to CMSMS (NOT How do I do this in XHTML+CSS) then it shouldn't be here.

we're here to help with CMSMS issues, not teach the underlying technologies.

Thats what I did.

I know CSS.

The question was how to get CMSMS to handle content in 2 coloumns, in the back end.
I.e. how do the administrator edit the content in two different coloumns.

But thanks for the nice advice.

Add another content block to your page template (in a separate div), like:


{content block="rightcontent"}


Then, you will have 2 content blocks to edit for pages that use that template, which are in separate divs for styling.
