Not sure it will help, but might send you in a direction.
Not really what I’m looking for. But thanks for giving it a shot.
How about this, write div tags around what you want to appear in the second column.
<div class="post-entry>This would be all the text in the 1st column
<div class="2nd-column>This would be all the text in the second column. You sould have to write the div tag that surrounds this text into your post each time.</div>
</div>
Of course you would have to modify the css to create a second column and position it correctly, but that should work.
I don’t know if this is over your head, but hopefully it can point you in a direction.
Well, I think the OP wants an “automatic” solution – so that it just happens as heesh is typing….
It could probably be programmed – by someone who’s a real programmer, the which I am decidedly NOT….
If you wanted to use a <!-- split -->
tag that’d be easy-ish. You’d need to assign your content to a variable using get_the_content(). Then just search and replace <!-- split -->
with </div> <div class="secondColumn">
. That’d close the first div you started before displaying the content and then start a second one. You’d use CSS to style the divs into columns.
In your post loop it’d look roughly like this:
<?php $content = get_the_content(); ?>
<?php $content = str_replace( '<!-- strip -->', '</div> <div class="secondColumn">', $content); ?>
<div class="firstColumn">
<?php echo $content; ?>
</div>
Anyway, hope that’s clear. Haven’t tested at all but it should get you started.
I don’t mean to be a bother, but I’d like to *bump* this thread in the hopes that somebody has come up with an automatic solution (or plugin) for this issue. Thanks.
I’d love to see this plugin as well. I’ve used a similarly convoluted method, and it’s not good for clients!
I also think it’s very restrictive only having 1 column available, especially with multil column css layouts just around the corner
