3 column format (2 sidebars)

Post by point4design »

Hi... I'm new to CMS Made Simple and loving it. I'm building a website that would be a 3 column format. That's easy enough but where I'm stuck is on each page there will be images down the left sidebar and images in the right sidebar. These images need to be different on each page (page specific). Are there any modules/tags that I could use to accomplish this?

You could use GCBs, global content blocks, to do this by naming them the alias of the page and calling them with...

{global_content name='{$page_alias}'}...

Another option is to use

http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/sectionimage/

in which you can give parameters on what is the section. Or rather if you want children to behave like an own section or are part of their parents section.
