I am working on a theme that might be kind of hard for me to create. I want it to look like the following image: http://www.liquidborn.com/image1.jpg

Basically, instead of there being a left and right menu section, I'd like it to be presented like in the photo...bascially, two menu systems side by side, and then the content area.

When a person used the middle menu system, clicks on anything, the far left side disappears to look like this: http://www.liquidborn.com/image2.jpg

Any help, advice, etc it greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Timech

The ask a librarian box should be a block, not a "menu system" -- add a region for it in your master template (read the theming handbook), then suppress it everywhere but the home page. Without content the region will collapse into nothingness. I do this with the various fancy headers on our site http://www.rmcad.edu

I can, off the top of my head, think of two themes that are structured this way: Deco and Amadou... and yes, you can make blocks appear and disappear using block visibility commands.

Amadou looks to be just about perfect. How would I go about making the content portion be on the right side of the page, instead of the left?

Is this possible? I apologize for my newb skills. I'm getting better though!

Thanks!

checkout the way the theme is structured... it includes a #sidebarLeft ... so you don't need to alter the page.tpl.php...

basically, you just have to go into your admin-->blocks (admin/build/block) settings and make sure the blocks are set to "Left Sidebar"...
