I suspect you have a template where \includes\column_right.php has been removed from index.php

 

<!-- body_text_eof //-->
<td id="right_col_holder" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<!-- right_navigation //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_right.php'); ?>
<!-- right_navigation_eof //-->
</table></td>

 </tr>
</table>
<!-- body_eof //-->

<!-- footer //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?>
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?>
</body>
</html>

index.php, but you would have to be very careful that your file and site is the same as a standard osc site before you make changes.

 

Have a look at the stock osc index.php so you can work out where to add and finish the tables.

i have my own and the stock version and they are exactly the same. Where have my right hand boxes gone?

thanks

check the stock osc includes\column_right.php with yours.

 

The view source of your home page shows

 

<!-- right_navigation //-->

 

<!-- right_navigation_eof //-->

 

 

so it is not picking up the

 

<!-- right_navigation //-->

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_right.php'); ?>

<!-- right_navigation_eof //-->

hi

this was the problem. includes\colum_right.php was empty . I pasted in the code and it is now online to work with but it looks mad! any ideas on how to change this to look better at all. I wondered wether i can steal code from the left colum at all?

thanks

And if you add a right column, you may want to make the content area of your shop wider.

 

Do that in the stylesheet.css here:

 

.mainCenter {
 width: 730px;
 background: #ffffff;
 color: #000000;
 margin: auto;
 margin-top: 20px;
 text-align: left;
}

Specifically this line:

 

  width: 730px;

;)

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

 

"Given enough impetus a parallelogramatically shaped projectile can egress a circular orifice."

Then you have this code in the HTML:

 

width="728"

several places.

 

If you alter the width in the stylesheet, they need adjusted accordingly.

hi

in the css are you saying i can make left and right columns symetrical? I think my right column currently looks crazy?

thanks

juls

If you want the right column to fit, something's gotta give somewhere...

To adjust the right column width:

 

	<td valign="top" width="0"><table width="0" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<!-- right_navigation //-->

Change the width (2 places) in the HTML there, Ma'am.

:)

It screws it up 'cuz you have neglected this change so far.
