This is very much a different way of laying out columns for me and maybe for others, I would normally set the width of each column and not use margins like in this theme (BP 1.2 Default “BETA”), but I can greatly see the benefit of doing it this way for fluid screen use….
Anyway I have figured it out, If ‘nickmy’ or anyone one else wishes to add three column the code changes are as follows:
ADD THE FOLLOWING TO THE DEFAULT.CSS:-
float: left;
width: 225px;
margin-right: -226px;
margin-top: 1px;
border-right:1px solid #e4e4e4;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 3px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 3px;
background: url( ../images/sidebar_back.gif ) top left repeat-x;
}
ADD THE FOLLOWING TO (div#content .padder):-
margin-left: 225px;
border-right: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
CREATE A FILE CALLED “sidebar-left.php” IN THE BP-DEFAULT THEME DIRECTORY, CONTAINING THE FOLLOWING:
<div id=”sidebar-left”>
<div class=”padder”>
This is where your left content can go…
</div>
</div>
ADD THE FOLLOWING TO IN THE APPROPRIATE THEME TEMPLATES: (eg single.php)
///Note this needs to be instead between the <?php get_header() ?> and <div id=”content”> ///
Then your done… You could go one step more and add the function of “register_sidebar” bar to the functions.php, but I will not go there right now as there plenty of documents and articles on how to do this…
Hope this helps anyone else who may have the same problem…
