Frontpage<br /> - What should be the content in column 1, 2, 3?<br /> - Below the content .. does it mean that this area (single block) should span column 1, 2, 3?</p> <p>2. Other pages<br /> - Widgets should be more or less different on each page?<br /> - Other Pages should be content + one sidebar?</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Chris </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/3-col-to-2-col-and-dropping-some-widgetsasides#post-2963 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 05:43:48 +0000 Jamie Mitchell 2963@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>howdy !</p> <p>regarding the widget question</p> <p>i use the <a href="http://www.janek-niefeldt.de/blog/mycustomwidget/">MyCustomWidget</a></p> <p>J </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/3-col-to-2-col-and-dropping-some-widgetsasides#post-2962 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 04:35:13 +0000 cregy 2962@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>I am hoping this is possible. I have currently built a site at:<br /> lostwithiel.org.uk<br /> However, the opening page is somewhat cluttered and I am hoping to redevelop the theme somewhat.</p> <p>The opening page will be three equal columns with the image right across the page but thinner. The menus will re-locate to below the image and be drop downs. Below the content will be some additional news items, etc. The idea being an opening page that contains as much info as possible.</p> <p>Then I am hoping to take the theme into a two column theme with the sidebar widgets changing to reflect a reduced amount of content. i.e. to show latest news and what's on and possibly related posts (if it possible).</p> <p>In the drop down menus I want to show both categories and pages. Basically, a single page drop down with all other pages listed below this and then the rest to be category drop downs.</p> <p>Building three column and two sites is not a problem, it is whether it is possible to switch from 3 col to 2 col simply. Is it also possible to change the way widgets display on certain pages please? And any help with the menu system would be appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Rich </p>
