Column on the right [SOLVED]

Post by Gregor »

Hello,

I probably overlook something, but I'd like a column on the right and I therefore use:

Code: Select all

{content block="Rechter content"}
In the template I did (look for the yellow part):

Code: Select all

      <!-- Start Content Area -->
      <div id="main">
         <div style="float: right;">{print showbutton=true script=true}</div>
         <h2>{title}</h2>
         {content} <br />

         <!-- Start relational links -->
	 <div class="hr"></div>
	 <div class="right49">
	 	<p>{anchor anchor='main' text='^ Top'}</p>
	 </div>
         <div class="left49">
            <p>{cms_selflink dir="previous" label="Vorige pagina: "} <br />
            {cms_selflink dir="next" label="Volgende pagina: "}</p>
         </div>
         <!-- The label parameter doesn't need to be there if you're using English, but is here to show how it's used if you don't want the English text "Previous page" -->
	 <!-- End relational links -->

         <hr class="accessibility" />

[color=yellow]         <div id="rechter">[/color]
[color=yellow]            {content block="Rechter content"} [/color]
[color=yellow]         </div> [/color]
[color=yellow]      </div>[/color]      
    <!-- End Content Area -->


   </div>
   <!-- End Content -->


The content of the 3rd column shows at the bottom of the page ??? www.wsv-herkingen.nl

In the 3rd column I'd like a poll and perhaps some advertising.

Thanks for your help,
G

Gregor,

did you change the css, to reflect that sidebar which floats left, width a specific width, and content which basically fills out the remaining width, now only gets a small part. You might, try to give width to content and another width to "rechts" and push the "rechts" to the right with "float: right"

Ronny,

I managed to create a third column. Because I want a different first page from the other pages, I will create two templates. Hmmm, this will create more maintenance...

Thanks for your help.

Somehow I think I have placed the source for the third columnat the wrong place.

Solved! It had to do with the width percentage in the stylesheet. Pfff what a hell of a job to find it.....
