Some Help Needed for Coding My Design!

[datoad]

Hello Everyone!

I recently came upon phplinkdirectory and find it amazing and a great cms for my site. But I am having alot of problems coding and implementing the site design I made for it but I'm having some major problems. I tried coding it with a table but it doesn't seem to be working properly.

Its nothing complex and but it I still don't know why I'm having so much trouble.

If anyone can enlighten me and teach me on how to code this, I appreciate any help!

Thanks alot!

Just to give you a quick rundown on how this works-

Each part of the page is called from a different template file, and the styles are all called from main.css at toplevel of your directory. The header, which is one of the files you'll need to mod, is header.tpl, then the center part where the links and such are you'll find in main.tpl. top-bar.tpl is the breadcrumbs and the path and the description and search in most template sets, though I usually change mine a bit. Then there's footer.tpl at the bottom. Most pages use the main.tpl but some, like the submit page, have their own.

If you want to add another column it's best to do it by creating a new template file, such as rightcol.tpl, and calling it in from the main.tpl and the others that need it.

If you find it more intuitive to work from a css tableless template, there are a couple available on the wiki.

Well what I already have right now which as you can see looks nothing to my design. I'm not sure why but is it possible to use tables to code my design? or will I have to learn how to code it in css.

Thanks,

Could you send me a better image of the design?

If so, I'll play with it and see if I can come up with something you might like etc.
