Hello all,

I'm currently using i3 theme 1.6, and I wanted to know if there was a way to make it so that there was only one side-column and the content. Basically, I would like it to be Sidebar-Blog entries (S-B) instead of three columns. Is there any way to do this, or is it not worth the effort?

Thank you preepmtively.

It should be possible, but it's certainly not a walk in the park.

Step 1: You'd have to add another layout option to the config.inc.php's layout array.

Step 2: You'd have to emit the XHTML code for that option in the index.tpl, i.e. a single sidebar plus maybe an optional class to the content column. Depends on how you'd want to layout this -- keep the width of the left sidebar for the single sidebar, make it wider than the left sidebar etc.

Step 3: You'd have to add CSS styles for the new layout, preferably to the s9y.css.

Ah, so it isn't something simple. Seeing as customising s9y is not familiar to me, how much would you charge to do that?

Hello all,

I am currently using i3 theme 1.6, and I wanted to know if there is a way to make it so that there is only one side-column. I would like it to be Sidebar-Blog entries instead of 2 columns. Is there any way to do this, or it is not possible ? I need some fast help because it is going to be great help in my project work.

The answer is basically the same.
