HTML Catalog works fine with the side panels. With the dynamically created pages it doesn't however there is a function that allows you to generate HTML code for any other page and I use that to edit / create html for the static pages that do work with HTML Catalog. One of the future developments is to directly edit / create / intergrate into the static pages and the templates.
To create 10 fixed panels takes a little bit of work.
Essentially you have to do the following.
- Duplicate and edit the fixedsidepanelX.php files incrementing X up to 10. Edit the code to match teh number of the fixedsidepanel. These are located in /customer.
Duplicate and edit the fixedsidepanelX.tpl files incrementing X up to 10. Edit the value between the {capture} {/capture} tags.
Edit cmsmanager.php and cmsmaker.php find where it lists the values of $pagetype in the <options> html tags, you will see the sequence or fixedsidepanels1 - 3 just continue the pattern up to 10.
That should do the trick.
