Page independant text into the sidebar.

So, where is this extra data stored, and how? Or have you not put it in yet?

Ok – two questions

#1 – does the information have to be in the sidebar, or does it just have to seperate and “off to one side” of the rest of the article?

#2 – Does the particular information have to be shared between pages – say, an author profile that might go on multiple reviews of his various books?

If the answers are both “no”: it just has to be to the side not in the sidebar, and the information is unique to the page or at least you’re willing to cut-and-paste it into the multiple pages, then I would suggest just using a floating div tag, something like this.

<h2>My amazing article</h2>
<p>
This is an intro paragraph.
</p>

<!-- This is the floating info box -->
<div style="width: 200px; float: right; padding: 5px; margin 5px; border: solid black 1px;">
This is where the author statistics are kept
</div>
<!-- That's all there is to the floating info box -->

<p>
Here's some more text
</p>
<p>
The end.
</p>

A little more “hands on”, and it requires you to turn off the WYSIWYG editor and edit the page HTML code direct, but it would work.

@otto42: It is not in yet because I haven’t found a way to add it.

@ChalesKrause: Thanks, that was really helpfull, seriously. I just tweaked the dimension and got a result that was not quite what I was looking for, but even better.

Now, other people access the site to post their reviews and they don’t know a thing about coding, so is there any good plugin you know about so I can add a button to the TinyMCE so they can still use the WYSIWYG editor and add this new div directly?

I can add it to the normal editor, I know how to do that but I don’t know how to add it to the Tiny MCE.

couldn’t you use if/else logic based on is_category() in your sidebar and use includes to display the text? Then only the appropriate include displays?
