3 column template

Post by wadood »

i have gone through the cms and it appears that all the designs are in 2 column format, what if the design that we have is in 3 column format, how to add the side bar in the both left and right columns. also currently the sidebar option is not flexible because if we want a content that needs to be displayed in multiple pages in the side bar it means we need to add it in every single page. is there a module like the news module to add sections in the left or column that would be displayed in the template assigned to each page.

Templates are only samples, if you know HTML and CSS a 3 column template should be easy task to accomplish.

For flexible sidebars you can allways use Global Content Blocks {global_content name="foo"} or Content Block {content block="foo" label="My block"}

When installing CMSMS you have an option to install sample content, reading through those sample pages will provide you many information and answer allot of questions.

hello thank you for the reply, well ok if we add Content block in the left and right section, can it be done in a way that you only add content to the section and not the page and that section would be displayed in multiple pages, coz i checked through and while i tried to add block it would be displayed on the pages that you put content as well, in this case if we want the section to be repeat in each page we would have to add it everytime in the page.

If you want repeating blocks use Global Content blocks.
