Second sidebar

[carnifinda]

Is it possible to have another sidebar? For the moment I have one on the right, I would love to have one on the left for the calendar, summary and tags, with the entries in the middle. I think it would be done in the "function Page::lay_print_body()" section but I'm not advanced enough to try that alone and bork my pretty layout

Try this.

This bit of code removes the calendar, summary, and tags boxes from the existing sidebar:

function Page::lay_print_sidebar() {
"""
""";
foreach var int position (1..14) {
var string pos = ""+$position;
if ($*layout_sidebox_profile_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_profile(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_links_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_systemlinks(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_multisearch_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_multisearch(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_2_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_2(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_3_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_3(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_4_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_4(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_5_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_5(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_6_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_6(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_7_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_7(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_8_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_8(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_9_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_9(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_10_visibility==$pos) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_10(); }
elseif ($*layout_sidebox_freetext_private_visibility==$pos and viewer_is_owner()) { $this->lay_print_sidebar_freetextbox_private(); }
}
""" """;
}

Thank you so much for your help! I didn't expect that much!
Unfortunately, I get this :
Can't define undeclared object function Page::lay_print_sidebar2()

I tried starting in a different order but LJ simply doesn't recognize this sidebar2 function...

Huh. I'll look into it.
