Please help me to make it into 3 column

Zinje · #1 02-24-2004, 04:17 PM

Hi!

Can someone please help me to make my site into a 3 column. I did not design it and don't know html.

Here is what it looks like right now.
http://www.hybridpc.com/store/customer/home.php
Please ignore the menus as i am only testing right now.

I want the the viewcart, categories and help on the left side and want the authentication and news section on the other right side.

Here is the code in my customer/home.tpl

{* $Id: home.tpl,v 1.7 2003/04/11 05:05:27 svowl Exp $ *}
{ config_load file="$skin_config" }
<html>
<head>
<title>{$lng.txt_site_title}
{if $main eq "catalog"}
{$lng.txt_subtitle_home}
{elseif $main eq "help"}
{$lng.txt_subtitle_help}
{elseif $main eq "cart"}
{$lng.txt_subtitle_cart}
{elseif $main eq "checkout"}
{$lng.txt_subtitle_checkout}
{elseif $main eq "order_message"}
{$lng.txt_subtitle_thankyou}
{/if}
</title>
{ include file="meta.tpl" }

I honestly like the single Side better on your site, There are some things that could make the viewing much simpiler, like taking out the duplicate catagories enteries, moving cart to under the Authentication and moving Authentication up.

What does your "catagories.tpl" file look like?

Also, be sure to let us know what version of X-Cart you are running

Version 3.4.2

As far as the duplicate categories go, I am just seeing if i should use flash or just the regular category links.

I guess it just looks to busy on the left side. The reason why I want the 3rd column is so I can put up affiliate logo links.

Anyone can help me please?

It's not a small job dude, and one that a Pro should be doing for you to be sure it is done right.

You may have to Pay for it. $$$

Good Luck.

Your site's a customised skin. It's not a simple copy and paste HTML job.

Actually looks quite nice the way it is. The flash buttons don't seem to link to anything though, like the co-sine rollover effect on them.

Post a request in the professional help forum shan, boomer, funkydunk etc would no doubt be happy to do the work
