Add left sidebar to Kubrick

I have modified my Kubrick template to have a header.php, sidebar-left.php, sidebar-right.php, index.php, and footer.php.
How do I make Kubrick call my two new sidebars from index.php?

I would like <?php get_sidebar-left(); ?> to call up sidebar-left.php and <?php get_sidebar-right(); ?> to call up sidebar-right.php

How would this be done?
WP 1.5-01-29-04 and default (Kubrick) theme

Try this in your template where you want to load the files:

<?php require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar-left.php'); ?>

<?php require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar-right.php'); ?>

Hey I need help with this too. I tried doing the exact same thing. I changed the code in general functions file to call two different functions (left and right) and changed every instance of get_sidebar to get_l-sidebar or get_r-sidebar. I also copied sidebar.php into two files (l-sidebar and r-sidebar) and all I get on my main page is a big blank. So I must have done something wrong. Any clue?

oh.. I started with the three-col-cubrick theme by the way.
Help please.

OK, now it works. I guess I should leave the ‘general functions’ file alone. I only called it in the template files.

Ok, I want to do the same kind of thing, but how do I control the widths of the sidebars?
I only want them to be about 15% of the width of my window while the middle column I want to be 70% of the width.

The width is controlled by a bg image:

Unless you modify the image itself, you cannot do much.
