My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hello,

i HAVE searched for this topic, and i HAVE found the HOWTO guide. but i dont think it applied to adding a sidebar in a more complex skin?? I use PixelGreen and was wondering if someone could just list the basic steps to simply duplicate the existing sidebar on the left side? things to look out for and how to copy/past the essential elements?

i have tried a few combinations and always get two squished columns on the right with garbled content that dont resemble anything recognizable

maybe just a checklist of things to do when adding a completely new container?

in the case of pixelgreen, there is a sidebar.php file and i am not sure how this changes things

any thoughts?

esquired,

so it sounds like you want your page to be divided into 3 columns, right?

That can get complicated. You'll need to shink the existing two colums to make room for the 3rd column.

There's a 3 column skin here. It comes with the standard download so you should see it. It will be easier if you customize this one than to touch the existing one. You can change the banner, colors, etc.

also, check out these two other skins from yourstruly:

The 2column one is downloadable from the skins page. the 3colum one got removed from the skins. It uses widgets for the sideabars and it didn't preview too well. looked broken.

anyway, if you like the 3column one, let me know.
