Kubrick Three Columns?

posts: 11 United Kingdom

Hi

Is it possible to get the Kubrick theme to display three columns?

I'm a complete n00b as far as CSS is concerned, and just seem to break it when I try.

Thanks

Shaun

I've tried just changing the tpl files, and it seems to have worked - Although I'm not 100% confident that everything will work.

I've changed

{* flip stuff deleted *}

missing page for plugin INCLUDE

{if $show_page_bar eq 'y'}
missing page for plugin INCLUDE

{/if}



{if $feature_right_column ne 'n'}
{section name=homeix loop=$right_modules}
{$right_moduleshomeix.data}
{/section}
{* rightcol setfolderstate stuff deleted *}
{/if}
{if $feature_left_column ne 'n'}
{section name=homeix loop=$left_modules}
{$left_moduleshomeix.data}
{/section}
{* leftcol setfolderstate stuff deleted *}
{/if}




To;

{* flip stuff deleted *}

{if $feature_left_column ne 'n'}
{section name=homeix loop=$left_modules}
{$left_moduleshomeix.data}
{/section}
{* leftcol setfolderstate stuff deleted *}
{/if}


missing page for plugin INCLUDE

{if $show_page_bar eq 'y'}
missing page for plugin INCLUDE

{/if}



{if $feature_right_column ne 'n'}
{section name=homeix loop=$right_modules}
{$right_moduleshomeix.data}
{/section}
{* rightcol setfolderstate stuff deleted *}
{/if}




Please let me know if I should be doing this a different way.

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, looks like you made the right changes. Basically, I moved the left modules to underneath the right ones, to get the single side column, and you put them back 😉. You can compare your modified tiki.tpl to a standard three-column one to see if you're missing anything, but if the site seems to be working OK, then probably nothing else needs to be done.

Well it's been a steep learning curve, but I've more or less finished my modified kubrick theme.

I had a few space issues, so moved back from the original three column layout that I wanted to a two column layout. But with the menu on the left-hand side.

I'm pretty happy with it, and wanted to share what I've done so far. Unfortunately, there's a lot of beurocracy involved, so the live version has to stay under wraps until it gets approved by management - But I can show you a screenshot;

Please feel free to offer any ideas on how to make it look better.

Thanks

Actually, I think it looks quite impressive. Are the "buttons" on the left separate modules? Or are they hard coded in the TPL?

Thanks 😀

I originally planned to have the buttons in a seperate module, but couldn't work out how to apply a different table layout to them - So they are coded into the tpl for now. CSS confuses me too easily 🙄

I've still got a fair amount of work to do, but for anyone who's interested;

It will take a while to load, as all graphics are currently in the db - once I'm happy, I'll move them to the styles folder.

Very nice, very professional looking. Just one small spelling typo I noticed, though: "The Parents and Freinds Association". 😉
