I am using the deepsea template, and I would like to add a column or such to the right side of either the layout.tpl or possibly just the home.tpl. What I'm trying to accomplish is a news feed type box where I can add like a latest blog title and link to it with daily updates or whatever. I'm not really looking for a RSS feed/or maybe I am?? Just something that I can write in updates, or specials. I would like it to be just above the main content on either the home or layout. Is this something that could be achieved some what painlessly? Thanks
You are going to have to have some good knowledge of CSS and html to do this. You are asking to change the fundamental structure of the template and it will affect many things (going from 2 column to 3, sizes will matter, formatting, etc) . Why not make it simpler and put a box into the home page only on home.tpl.
Yeah, I was thinking about it and it would be a lot better to just have a box on the home page verses every page. I would like to have it on the right side of the categories on the home page. Perhaps I'm being daft, but what would be the best way of putting it on the right side? I do have the room to put it there.
You could simply create a table with 2 columns. One to hold the categories and the other for your news.
