3column theme with links and banners on both sides

as far as the banners go, i’d suggest creating a special ID or class inside your theme’s css file to handle the layout of the banners (if you just stick something like the google adsense code, etc inside your sidebar.php file it’s going to look like heck), at the very least you can pop the banner code inside a <ul> which most theme’s know how to deal with in the sidebars, so it will at least look better than just plopping it in there.

as far as the links, to move them all from the right to the left, you need to move <?php get_links_list(); ?> from (i’m assuming as far as the filenames, because I haven’t gone out to check your specific theme) from the ‘rightbar.php’ file (my theme’s call it sidebar.php) and put it in whatever your theme uses for a ‘leftbar.php’.

get_links_list takes some arguments (plus there are some other links template tags you can use), so if you wanted to do something like display certain links on each side, etc. you’ll need to see the codex Links Manager template tags section to get exactly what you need.

this should address both of your current posts/questions.

hmm i willl try, you know its hard for an amateur to handle all the codes, thnx for the post

and for moving links, if i move them so they all will move from left to right, but if i need to move only one link category? I named 1 category “links” second “friends” and i want to leave links on the right and friends to the left. i did not see such thing like link categories in php files, i tried to search for “friends” in those php files, but did not find that part of code…Is this possible? maybe some themes dont alow it?

that’s possible, but requires digging a bit deeper into the template tags I mentioned, using the correct arguments, and perhaps a bit of extra php to pull off exactly what you’re looking for.

as far as simply the right to left or left to right bit, moving <?php get_links_list(); ?> (including the ul and li it’s enclosed in) into whichever file you want it (left or right).

maybe there are some themes with those functions integrated? I mean i am newb in this area, but i think most people want 3 column themes so that they can have links on both sidebars.
