I created a custom html module with location "Sidecolumn". It is appearing on the left side. How do I place it on the right? Both sides have the same name 'Sidecolumn'.

Hi

The sidecolumn module position can be switched from left to right via the templates parameters. To access these parameters navigate to Extensions -> Template Manager -> J51_[YourTemplate]

Thank you for the reply and I was able to switch it. However, I did not realize I am fixed with one side only, ie, I cannot have some modules appear on the left and some on the right. Is there any way to do that or can that feature be added?

May I suggest the following post which details how to change the Mountain Pine template which would be similar to your Revelation template.

Thank you. I found the post and was able to get both the columns, ie, a & b. However, the graphics at the top of the module including the horizontal line is missing.

I do not know enough about css to know how to fix that. It would be great if you can look into it and let me know what to do.

Thanks.

Never mind the previous post. I figured out what was wrong. The div class is j51_module1 and not j51_module as in Mountain Pine.

Thanks again for your help.

Hello - it's me again. The widths were not working out as I guess the main body is wider in Mountain Pine and therefore it was floating below the side module. I played with the widths and now I have it matched with the original. Following are the changes I made and I hope it will help someone -

[code type=css]<style type="text/css">
#content80 {width:855px; padding-left:15px;}
/*--Check and see what modules are toggled on/off then take away columns width, margin and border values from overall width*/
<?php if($this->countModules( 'sidecol-a') >= 1 && $this->countModules('sidecol-b') >= 1) : ?>
#content80 {width:350px; float:right; padding:0; }

<?php elseif($this->countModules('sidecol-a') >= 1 && $this->countModules('sidecol-b') == 0) : ?>
#content80 {width:615px; float:right; padding:0 30px 0 0;}

<?php elseif($this->countModules('sidecol-a') == 0 && $this->countModules('sidecol-b') >= 1) : ?>
#content80 {width:615px; float:left; padding-right:0px; padding-left:25px;}

<?php endif; ?>

#sidecol_a {float:left; width:264px; padding-left:18px}
#sidecol_b {float:right; width:264px; padding-right: 18px;}

</style>[/code]
