I can't get this to work! Attempting to create 4 (Bartik) similar footer columns in the Zen theme. I have read through all of the documentation, updated the info file, inputted new php in page.tpl.php, updated the layout.css file. Nothing happens.

I'm a little confused about these patch files. Are they just a guide? Or can they be used on sites (like mine) to fix issues?

#4

The patch file does not apply to the 7.x-3.x-dev release of zen.
My attempt was as follows:
1. I made a fresh git clone of the 7.x-3.x branch.
2. I ran

git apply --check /path/to/patch/patchfile

3. I got an error message like this:

error: patch failed: STARTERKIT/STARTERKIT.info.txt:79
error: STARTERKIT/STARTERKIT.info.txt: patch does not apply
...

a.s.o. for every file to be patched.

As I looked into the STARTERKIT.info.txt file at line 79 and compared it to the patch file content I found:
In the patch file at line 79 is
; You'll use this variable in page.tpl.php:

which should be (as in the patch file)
-regions[help]           = Help

That implies that there is a "line offset" of +5.
But I can't figure out in the moment where this comes from.

Which commit exactly did you use to create this patch file?

#5

Has anyone been able to set up the columns going horizontally along the page? I was able to get the columns on the page but can't style the columns. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
stina
