Adding add'l content to sidebar [solved]

Post by CRobledo »

Hello,

I'm using CMSMS version 1.0.2, with the Top simple navigation + left subnavigation + 1 column template.
The default version of this templates shows News below the left sub nav links.  I've removed the News div from the sidebar.

I'd like to now be able to use that sidebar space (below the left subnav) to include content, but different content for each page.

Unlike some of the other templates I played with, this one does not display a split Sidebar window beneat the main Content window in the editor/admin panel..... it only displays a single Content window to which I can add content to a page.

Is there any type of command I can insert into the tags of this template that will display a Sidebar content window, like exists on some of the other default templats?

Thank you,
Colleen

Figured this one out for myself!  Woohoo!
I just copied the code from one of the templates that DOES allow sidebar content:
     
        {content block='Sidebar'}
     
Now, I just need to tweak the css for my template to format this content.

Sorry, still learning the forum etiquette.  I've added that to my first post subject line.

Also, check out the help for the {content} tag (Extensions -> Tags in the admin menu), it gives some explanation and explains the possible parameters (especially oneline can be quite useful).
