3 column template into a two column

ezi designs · #1 01-16-2007, 07:52 AM

Probaly not an easy solution but how difficult is it to make a 3 column template into a two column template.

Is it just a matter of putting the contents of the right vert columns into the left and chanding any css or it it more than that ?

Thanks

Yep, just move the includes from the right hand table cell into the left, and remove the third column. customer/home.tpl contains all you need.

Hi

I think i spoke to soon. changed it over 3 times and got an error on the screen so somthing went wrong.

I have posted the tpl file for you to take a look in its original format. Basically what i want is the righthand column to be on the left.

Thank you again
