[resolved] Moving sidebar (7 posts)

    I just installed this theme and I'd like to move the third column under the second. I've tried everything that I could think of to edit the sidebar.php but when I try to alter anything, it makes the whole sidebar disappear. Is there anything that I can do?

    Here's my site: http://www.sporadicthoughts.com

    My problem with answering your question is that I cannot see any third coulumn.

    If you have two narrow sidebars, and you want all the information in them to appear in one, one possibility would be to move everything from the second sidebar into the first, and then not include the second one.

    If you still want the two sidebars, one below the other, Style rules in your style.css is responsible for the layout.

    Please come back if you don't have any luck, and if you do ;)

    Sorry, I was playing around with the sidebars and tried to combine them and made it into two. Now, it's back to the original setting where there are 3 sidebars and I'd like them all under one another, but into separated sections. Any idea how to do that? :)

    This template is setup in a "flexible" way. Meaning, if you were to view it using 800x600 resolution, the thris column would get squeezed down underneath the 2nd.

    Likewise, if you're using 1028 resolution, open up your favorites or history tabs, and you will see when your viewing window is reduced, it will also move the 3rd column underneath your 2nd.

    Checked that now. bmg1227 is right.
    If you want the three narrow columns ( sidbars ) to line up under each other, I think the easiest way would be to encapsulate them in a parent sidebar, say a <div id="bars"> and in the stylesheet add a style rule
    #bars{
    float:right;
    width:xxxx;
    }

    giving #bars a suitable width so the second bar is pressed below the first.

    I haven't tested this, but it seems to be a possibility.

    Maybe the author of the theme has already thougt of this possibilty, so why not ask him/her at http://oriol.f2o.org/
