Left Column Plugins

Post by mrtownhome »

When I click "Configure Plugins" under the "appearance" menu in my administration page, I see a "left", "hidden", and "right" column. I can easily add and remove plugins, but where is the "check box" to move the plugin to the left column (assuming there is one). I assume there must be an easy way to move or place a plugin in the left column, yes?

I searched the forums but all I found was something that had to do with hard-coding the index.tpl file. Odd thing, the code in my index.tpl does not match with what I'm finding in the forums.

<table id="mainpane">
<tr>
{if $leftSidebarElements > 0}
<td id="serendipityLeftSideBar" valign="top">{serendipity_printSidebar side="left"}</td>
{/if}
<td id="content" valign="top">{$CONTENT}</td>
{if $rightSidebarElements > 0}
<td id="serendipityRightSideBar" valign="top">{serendipity_printSidebar side="right"}</td>
{/if}
</tr>
</table>

Thanks for your assistance, and great product!

Not every template has both a right and left sidebar though... so even if you drag and drop the plugins to the right or left, the template may still show everything only on one side or the other if that is what the template designer wanted.
