I have put up a site and the banner is working.
Now I am trying to put links on the left side on top of the banner, and when you click on the links the content should show up on the right of the links( so also on top of the banner).

When I set up a page and link it to the links on the left in the banner, then that content shows up under the banner.
I can make blocks but then I cant make the links?

I'm totally confused now, anyone has any idea how i should set this up?

Are you wanting to set up something similar to the banner on the Acquia Slate demo site? http://acquiaslate.fusiondrupalthemes.com

If so I can walk you through how to place your blocks in what regions and what Skinr styles are needed to get that sort of layout.

Yeps that's almost what i want.

Where there stands welcome to our site, in that region there should be a menu.
So now i have created a menu and linked pages to that menu, but i cant get the content of those pages to show up next to the links( in the region where there stands moving at the speed of business)
The content of the pages always apears under the banner.

Thanks for your help.

Hi there, to get a layout like the Acquia Slate demo site you need to add two blocks to the Preface Top region. Then take the block you want to appear to the right and apply these Skinr styles to it:

- Width: 10 units wide
- Block position: Float block to the right
- Content alignment: Right align content within its container
- General styles: Text: large, bold callout style

That should apply all the styles you need to get the block to float to the right and have a large text. Hope that helps!

Ok so to put content in the banner isn't a problem. But how can I make the links in the left
Block to work with the content in the right?
So if i click on a link in the left that the content appears on the right?

Could it be that I need to do this with the module nodeblock?
That module let's you handle pages like they where blocks

@geompie, the theme isn't really set up for something like that as it just holds blocks and doesn't come with any interactivity like that. You may be able to do some custom development with a module or write your own and get it working that way but it won't have anything to do with the theme in that case.

@bagser, it actually seems like your banner is working correctly but the image in the background isn't tall enough to fill the area. Can you try creating a large (taller) image and try it there or set the background to a solid color for testing purposes as well?
