Moving Plugins in Sidebar`

Post by Pompeylad »

Hi,

How is it possible to move the plugins around in the sidebar? So they show in a different order? Do I have to go into a php or tpl file to do this? If so which one?

Thanks,
Pompeylad.

If your user profile has javascript enabled, you should be able to drag them into whatever order you prefer from the "Configure Plugins" link.

Hi,

I have moved the sidebar plugins in the admin, but when I save and log back into my blog the sidebar has not moved?? Do you know what is wrong? The Java is switched on, won't the Kubrick skin allow moving of the sidebar?

I have loaded up another blog (different website) and have not changed the skin and the sidebar moves ok on this?? What is wrong??

Kind Regards,

Hi!

When you enter the admin screen again, is the order the one you previously saved, or also the same "wrong" order?

How and where exactly do you click to change sidebars?

Hi Garvin,

On the admin screen the order is saved as I want it to be, all of the sidebar plugins are on the left. But when I go back to my blog they are all on the right.

The site must be accessing the database ok, as when I want to remove or add plugins they are added or deleted.

I'm moving the boxes by clicking on the corner (where the dots are) dragging the box to the left column.

Regards,
Pompeylad.

Maybe you use a theme with both columns on the ride side.

I'm using a heavy modified Kubrick template. Does this not have a left sidebar?!?

If not which ones do??

And if the Kubrick template does not have a left sidebar is it easy to add one? If so how?

Hi!

Indeed, kubrick only has a right sidebar.

You would need to add CSS and HTML code to index.tpl to allow for a distinct left sidebar; then you can put the {serendipity_printSidebar side="left"} code in index.tpl simply into the new created HTML div ontainer you created for a left sidebar?!
