How to place articles in different columns?

sabum · Post by **sabum** » Thu 24. Feb 2005, 08:31

Hello friends,

Could anybody explain to complete rookie how to place different articles in different columns?

For example I'd like to place "news" in left column (editable by cms system) but with no position "news" in menu created by articles structure.

Proper articles will be placed in "main" area.

I have absolutely no idea how to do it...

Thanks in advance,

Jack

I think with the new development version this should be possible. But I can't explain how as I have not been using it so far.

hi sabum,

do you use the 1.2.1 dev release?

then its easier to setup this with the "content anywhere" function.

http://www.peperkorn-online.de/index.ph ... t-2spaltig in short:

step 1:
make an article with 2 content parts (same length)

step 2:
Insert 3 HTML content parts. One before the first article content part, one inbetween the two and one at the end (see screenshot). Then Pepperkorn describes a version using DIVs which does not work in Firefox. However, using tables works in all browsers in wich case the content of the 3 HTML content parts has to be:

Code: Select all

<table width="100%"><tr><td width="245" valign="top">

Code: Select all

</td><td width="10"></td><td width="245" valign="top">

Code: Select all

</td></tr></table>

As you can see there is an empty cell between the two columns in order to allow for some spacing.

As cyrano says, use this with RC4. Otherwise the current development version has integrated features to do this.

you will have to place

{LEFT} and {RIGHT} inside your template, then when adding a content part, simply choose where you want to display it (left, or right)

this procedure is called content anywhere.
