Two columns left=directory, rigth=anything you want

logged · 10-28-2005

Hello all, my first post

Here is a way to make two columns in the directory:

New table goes before {* Calculate the number of categories per row *} and after {include file="top_bar.tpl"}. It should look like this:

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Then just scroll down to bottom and then just Before {include file="footer.tpl"} and After </script> add the following code:

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

and then it should look like this:

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Step 3 is to create file called rigth.tpl and upload it to /templates directory
Here is a simple new table you can modify later:

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Well, I hope it will work for you too :wink:

edit: added -> align="top"

The preview isn't working anymore, can someone please show me what this modification does?

Im interested in keeping the body of my link directory on the homepage normal and at the same time have something on the other side. But when someone clicks on a link cat the page isn't devided, I just want the homepage to be affected.

So, atfer installing a new phpld and keeping everything the same except putting something (like an image for example) on the right side of the body, under the search and above the footer... this is what this mod does?

Thanks, I need help asap.

This is a great mod, but I also am trying to tweak it so the column only displays on the homepage. Has anyone had any luck doing this? I know I haven't.

One more thing that might save some headaches for someone. If you copy and paste the code, note that right.tpl is mispelled rigth.tpl. Which is fine as long as you name your new file that you create rigth.tpl as well

I had posted something but then realised it didn't exclude the search pages.

Sorry.

where you added your column within the <td> tage add this:

rowspan="100%"

so it should look like: <td rowspan="100%">

and see how that works out for you in FF.

bella0212 · 06-17-2006

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Anon!

Been at this most of the day and have tried almost everything I could find!

Have a Good Day,

The rightside code works excellent, have been using it for weeks now. I'm trying to add a left column now, but this is becoming a problem, hehe... I try to use the code provided above but tweak it to appear on left side, but whatever I try just makes the table appear under the category listing. And ideas out there?

Thanks in advance.

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Anyone have a solution for this in 3.06 using a right side column...seems fine apart from this search page problem, most hits, top rated etc etc..

webwriter · 09-24-2006

I'm having the same issue-

When adding a left AND a right column, everything lines up correctly on the home page but on the category pages, the right column appears under the categories, not next to it.

Any suggestions?

eurodata · 10-13-2006

I tried this mod and its excellent thanks to the coder, i put the code on the bottom and adjusted the table so to make it appear on the bottom along the page so i can get banners to fit on there.

now my quesiton is, is it possible to isolate this code so i can add different banners and different table for each category page, and if thats not possible how can i limit this mod so it only appear on the home page??

please have a look at my directory and feel freee to put a free submission and let me know any hints or comments that may improve things,
