Serendipity Forums

Hi people I’m new to this forum and I’m new to Serendipity too. When I use bex01 theme I try to put some sit bar or plug-in or event. ~_~ sorry I don’t know how explain on those add-on. Let make it simple. The Calendar on the right hand side. I wish to put the calendar and some add-on on the left hand site. But after I apply it on the left hand side it won’t go to the left hand it remain in the right hand and position is in middle.

Is it because the theme itself is a 2 columns not 3 columns? How do I make them in 3 columns?

Oh ya I also want to add in a table like what bex webby the “welcome” message box at the top right hand site.. How should I go on adding it?

bex webby

I’m very sorry if i ask too many questions here.

Hi!

I believe the bex01 tempalte simply does not support left and right columns, I'm sorry. You'll need to use a template that supports both sidebars (many do) or you need to learn some CSS/HTML and modify the template to support 2 sidebars?

You would need to edit the index.tpl file and search for the "generateplugins" function; and then you need to modify the CSS to add the necessary codes for displaying the right sidebar.

oh hi thanks for the reply. ok i try my best to do it. thanks alot for the reply x)

If you want the sidebar only on the left, I am pretty sure that you can change the css to accomodate.

If you want both left and right columns, Bex02 is setup to do that and it will have similar flavor as Bex01. The css is well commented and explains how to make changes to the three columns. You can place your plugins and such anywhere you like.
