You can make customization to the page layout of your whole dew-new phplinks website by editing the "directory" file in the root install of your links site files.
In the directory file you will see (from the top) lines and lines of php code, look for the start of the php code like this...
and the end of th php code like this
...then further down the directory file you will see...
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
|
after this code you look past all the meta data in the "head" ending bracket and starting with the "body" starting bracket is the content of your dew-new phplinks website's "look" which is a mix of an html and php document.
If you are familiar with tables you will see how the site is split up using php inside this html code starting with your link site's "header" area and "top navigation" bar like this (again from the directory file):
| Code: |
<?
include("themes/$theme/header.php");
include("themes/$theme/navbar.top.php");
?>
|
and the directory file ends with the footer:
| Code: |
include("themes/$theme/footer.php");
|
my suggestion is- create a sidebar using tables inside the directory files html....if that makes sense.
