taxguycpa 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 Hello, Is there a way to make the tertiary sidebar the width of my two right columns total? I want it below the 2 columns on the right, but I want the width of the tertiary sidebar to be the total of the 2 columns, not just of column 1. Is there a setting or custom code that can do this?

taxguycpa 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 Update, I figured out how to change the width with the css selector, but to show i have to put it under sidebar one so it is still limited. i want it to be below both sidebar 1 and sidebar 2... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Report post Posted January 29, 2011 I'm not sure what you mean by below both Sidebar 1 and 2. Are you saying you want to have four total sidebars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taxguycpa 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2011 I suppose it would be, I just want the tertiary sidebar to be completely separate as a 4th sidebar below the other 3. So it is the width of the primary and secondary combined, below them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taxguycpa 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Just think of another sidebar wrap on the botttom. So instead of one on the top OR the bottom, one on both. I was thinking to just use the tertiary sidebar to emulate what the wrap is already doing on the top, but the tertiary is forced to be aligned only with sidebar 1 or 2. Wrap on top, sidebar 1 and 2 next to each other below it, and then another wrap on bottom. 4 total.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Hmm, I am going to agree with Catrina and ask if you can provide a screenshot or some kind of visual representation of what you want to accomplish, because unfortunately I'm unable to follow along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmunns 16 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Joe in the latest Base version, which you shouldn't install...but you can reference...there is a sample of how to create a new sidebar widget area. Inside of the sections folder you'll see sb_base and also an inclusion in the functions.php of PlatformBase well and that should free you up to have what you need.

bryan-hadaway 3 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 I could get done what you're looking to do, but it doesn't appear you have the tertiary sidebar active so I can't style it... ? Thanks, Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taxguycpa 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 It is active, it just under the primary sidebar spot in the editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taxguycpa 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 I had the base sidebar using it originally, sorry Bryan. If you could help me with doing this I would be very appreciative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmunns 16 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 fyi, i only said not to install it because if you already had it installed and had made customizations through it, you would have erased the work you had done...but in this case you lucked out because you hadn't done anything The CSS hack would be this, place it where you customize your CSS: ` .scolumn-pad { overflow: visible; } #sidebar_tertiary { float: left; margin-top: 220px; overflow: visible; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 370px; z-index: 99999; } ` Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taxguycpa 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 So close ! Thank you for providing that code. It dropped the sidebar down like a 4th bar, but is still limiting the width for some reason. www.cafetax.com Ill keep playing with it to see if I can get it to work. If you know what is restricting the width please let me know. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bryan-hadaway 3 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 Made one small change, here's the replacement code: ` .scolumn-pad { overflow: visible; } #sidebar_tertiary { float: left; margin-top: 220px; overflow: visible; position: absolute; visibility: visible; width: 370px; z-index: 99999; } ` Thanks, Bryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
