Hi-
I am trying to change this 2 column template to 3 column template, but so far, I am having difficult time modifying the files...
Is there a basic 3 column code that I can just take and use?
I have created sidebar_l.php and sidebar_r.php and I have:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar_l.php");?>
<?php /* These tell the user what type of archive they're on. You can easily customize the messages here. They use _e("...") to make them easily translated into other languages. This should help in localization a bunch. This also reduces the need for a page for all these types of archives. Unless you're using a very different setup on each one, this way seems to be much lighter on file sizes, markup, work, etc... */ ?>
<?php // This is the main loop. Body content is passed in through this code. ?>
<?php if( $posts ): foreach ( $posts as $post ): start_wp(); ?>
<h1><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Permalink for <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<?php // Spit out the header with a link to the article. ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php // The content, and what to use if there is a <!-- more --> extension. ?>
<p class="meta"><?php the_time("F j, Y"); ?>. <?php the_category(', '); ?>. <a href="<?php comments_link(); ?>"><?php comments_number(); ?></a>.<?php edit_post_link('Edit'); ?></p>
<?php // The information related to the post, such as the date, category, and comments. ?>
<?php endforeach; // End looping ?>
<p><?php posts_nav_link('','','Older Entries') ?> <?php posts_nav_link('','Newer Entries','') ?></p>
<?php // Go to previous and newer posts links. This is needed because WordPress by default limits the number of posts you may have in the loop.?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php if ( is_search () ) { ?>
<p><?php _e('Sadly however, no results were found. Please try searching again.'); ?></p>
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<input type="text" value="<?php echo stripslashes($_GET['s']); ?>" name="s" id="s" length="20" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" name="Submit" value="<?php _e("Search"); ?>" />
</form>
<?php } else { ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php } endif; ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar_r.php");?>
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
and it looks like this:

I will fix the graphic, but it's showing both side bar twice and the main content is not showing up in the middle... :(
any help would be very appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
