2 Column Layout
thinkinteractive - January 28, 2009 - 09:27
Hi There,
I currently have drupal installed with a central editable column in the middle and a menu on the left had side. I would like to add a column on the right hand side of the page which can be editied in a similar way to the central column (usual tinyMCE way). In theory i would like the right hand column to be different on every page. just like the central column...
How would i go about setting this up?
Thanks in Advanced

This would be difficult to
This would be difficult to achieve by getting involved in the php.
A simpler way would be to theme the node area over both columns then separate with column css classes. You would need to have something like this to your themes layout.css:
#content {
width: 460px;
}
#content-inner {
padding: 20px;
}
.leftcol {
display: inline;
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
.rightcol {
margin-left:220px
}
You would then switch to full html format and include the following when writing your content for a page:
<div class=leftcol>Left colum content here</div><div class=rightcol>Right column content here</div>
This isnt the neatest for a client website but would work fine for one that you are managing yourself.
Good luck. Please post your results and a link back here later!
