please help – simple question from novice

  • Im building a site and my top level pages will all have there own template as they arent really for blogging or commenting on

    i am using the WP3 as a CMS
    as there is only one contetn area if i use WordPress as a cms then how can i have access to the right hand column as a secound editable area?

    i want each of these pages to have a couple of relvent download links on the right column – these need to be editable and relevent to the particular page

    eg sports template page has some sports pdfs on right hand side
    Training has some training links on right hand side

    if i use the standard widgets the links will appear on both pages (all pages using the side widgets)

    how can i customise the links to appear relavent to the template?

    sorry my knowlege is only limited to html and css – so php would have to be very clearly explained

    many thanks

  • In your sidebar.php, you could do something like:

    <?php
if (is_page(sports) ){
echo '<h3>Sports downloads</h3>';
}
?>

    Thanks jrav001 this does work and does the job

    BUT

    i now want each page to have an editable right column like the main column within the WP editor

    Is this possible

    Widgets only act site wide
    Sidebar.php hacks are not editable from the WP interface

    Any ideas how it can be done?
