Hi Karen,

if it is still the smart theme then the Act_Primary.htmnl template should have the following in the head to show the master and subsections

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function YahooSections(ar)
{
var strIDs = '';
for (var i=1;i<=ar.length;i++)
  {
  if (ar[i].sURL != null)
    {
    strIDs += '<a href="' + ar[i].sURL + '"><span class="actxxsmall"><b><font color="NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS">' + ar[i].sName + '</font></b></span></a><br>';
      {
      if (ar[i].pChild)
        {
        for (var j=1;j<=ar[i].pChild.length;j++)
          {
          if (ar[i].pChild[j].sURL != null)
            {
            strIDs += '<a href="' + ar[i].pChild[j].sURL + '"><span class="actxxsmall"><font color="NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS">' + ar[i].pChild[j].sName + '</font></span></a><br>';
            }
          }
        }
      }
    strIDs += '<br>'
    }
  }
return strIDs
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

The left and right title bar text is set up under Design | Options | Site Defaults in the properties field

**ceramics** · 09-Nov-2005, 02:26 PM

How!

I have pasted the html into the section you said and can not get it to work the theme I am using is clean layouts 3 so this does not show up the right and left side bar even when you fill in the sections that are required. Do you know what I would need to uncomment to get them to show. And also to get the child sections showing which are not at the moment.
thank you
Karen

The above code should go into the <head> of the Act_primary template

You will also need

Code:

<script language=Javascript1.2>
document.write(YahooSections(section_tree)) 
</script>

in the left hand column to output the display - that is not used in the current theme which is using NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP to shop the top level sections

The left and right boxes do not feature in the new layout - they are part of the smart theme as per your current site - you can add in the following into the Act_primary to get them to appear again:

Code:

<table width="150" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr> 
          <td height="22" bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:PALCOLOR2CSS" class="actsmallheading" background="tab_pal2.gif"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;CUSTOMVAR:LEFTBARTITLE</b></td>
        </tr>
        <tr valign="top"> 
          <td class="thinred2">
             <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" class="actxxsmall">
               <tr> 
                <td valign="top"><br>CUSTOMVAR:LEFTBARTEXT<br><br></td>
               </tr>
             </table>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>

that is for the LEFT Box - simply change LEFT to RIGHT in the above to create the other box

Not successful

I have tried put the left/right boxes in I put them in the body as far up as possible and I can not get them to appear I am also very unsuccessful with the getting the child sections to show. I am oviously doing something wrong could you talk me through it please.
thank you

You have an existing left hand column in Layout 3 Act_Primary which is 160px wide and contains the TOPLEVELSECTIONS. To add additional content in this column, put code here between ends --> and </td>

Code:

<!-- coupon entry ends -->
PUT NEW CODE TO APPEAR IN LEFT COLUMN HERE
          </td>

To add a right column, you first need to slim down the main column, by replacing CUSTOMVAR:ACTSTDWIDTH with either a fixed amount or a percentage and then adding code where shown

Code:

<td valign="top">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="CUSTOMVAR:ACTSTDWIDTH" ALIGN="CENTER">

                  NETQUOTEVAR:FORMEND<br>
	</TD>ADD <TD> NEW CODE TO APPEAR ON RIGHT HERE</TD></TR>
</TABLE></td>
        </tr>
      </table>

</BODY>
</HTML>

CAVEAT: Just in case I have got this wrong, please remember to save the changed file to a different name and test it by selecting the new filename as overall layout for a section, before you replace the original Act_Primary template.

Hope this gets you there.
