A Couple Of Questions

[blkmysticalrose]

Is there anyway to make flexisquares have a 3rd column? I know on the component layout you can do that. I was wondering if it was possible on here

There is a way but it's somewhat convoluted. You'll need to refer to the layer source for some of the code.

1.)In the Page::print function:
 a.) Creating the sidebar content
Look for the code that says

var Page page = get_page();
var string title = $this->title();
and beneath that, place this code:

var string extra1_title = """

Hi

""";
var string extra1_content = """

Random HTML-y stuff here

""";
var string extra2_title = """

Hello

""";
var string extra2_content = """

More random HTML-y stuff here

""";

b.)Placing the sidebar in your layout
Look for if ($*show_sidebar) and replace that entire block of code with this:

if ($*show_sidebar)
{
"""

""";

print_sidebar_box( $extra1_title, $extra1_content );
print_sidebar_box( $extra2_title, $extra2_content );

"""

I think she's talking about this or maybe this. There are a couple others listed at component_help, but it's probably one of those 2, I'm thinking. I may try to figure it out, but man those things are soooo long! O_O;

Probably the first one, and it looks intimidating but as far as I can tell, the only thing you'll need to adapt is this part, to make it print the normal MonthPage for Flexible Squares:

else {
# normal
page_layout($this);
# end normal
}

If I understand what I'm reading correctly, everything else is concerned with setting up the searching, etc, and is non-stylespecific.

(The entire bottom part, on the other hand, has to do with stuff you need to do on the other site XD)

I might try it when I get back ( if no one beats me to it :D) but I have to go sleep soon, and I won't be online for the next 16 hours at least XD

*pokes gently* Oh hey, was either of anchan218's links the one you wanted? :)

Erratum (again. Bah. I make mistakes way too often)

Where I said, If you're grabbing it from the layer source (which I'd recommend, so you can take advantage of variables for auto-adjustment :)),
change the $sidebar_font_family to css_font_family($*sidebar_font, $*sidebar_font_fallback);;
change the $sidebar_prop to float:left. before, that will either cause an error or the css will have no effect. Instead, if you're grabbing it from the layer source:

Put this above the """"""; block:
var string sidebar_font_family = css_font_family($*sidebar_font, $*sidebar_font_fallback);

In #othersidebar:
Keep the $sidebar_font_family in the css.

-- these last two are general reminders
Change float:left/right; (wherever your original sidebar is) to float:left/right; (where you want your other side bar to be).

Also, don't forget to add #maincontent {margin-left/margin-right } depending on where your new sidebar is (If it's going to be on the left, use margin-left; if on the right, margin-right). :)
