Extra Side Bar

By michal frackowiak

Description

Creates an extra side-bar using the floating div element. It is quite easy if you know CSS.

To use this feature, copy the code below into your wiki page.

Code

[[div style="float:right; width: 15em; padding: 0 1em; margin: 1em 0 1em 1em; border-left: solid #888888 1px; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]]
++ Side content

In fact you can put almost anything in the side bar. E.g. an imported RSS feed or recent forum posts, members of your site. Like below ....
[[module Members showSince="no"]]

[[/div]]

++ Main content

¿How to make a css class?

kaizen 29 May 2007 06:57

Hi, I'm trying to make a css class from this, and my code is:

div.float-right{
    float:right; 
    width: 15em; 
    padding: 0em 1em; 
    margin: 0em 0em 1em 1em; 
    border-left: solid #888888 1px; 
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

To use it:

[[div class="float-right"]] ... [[/div]]

But something weird happends. No box.

P.D.: Sorry if it's a very css basic question, I'm start learning.

kaizen 29 May 2007 19:32

Sorry about the example. This works ok. The problem is with a float box on the left:

div.float-left{
    float: left;
    witdth: 15em;
    padding: 0em 1em;
    margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em;
    border-right:solid #888888 1px;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

The border is in the left, and the text extends along the entire line. What is happening?

kaizen 30 May 2007 14:05

the error was 'witdth'… >_< …well, thanks for the guys on the forum.

Where do stylesheet definitions go?

shepster 09 Dec 2008 00:09

So how does one add the style to a page? Normally I would put the CSS in a stylesheet. Where does one put the CSS information that applies to a page (as opposed to inline styles).

Re: Where do stylesheet definitions go?

(account deleted) 10 Dec 2009 20:37

I know this is a late response, but it seems that shepster's question was never answered.
Do the same as the first example, but instead of using style=, use class=. Then copy kaizen's css into your template stylesheet. I've not tried this yet, but I think that would work. Make sure to change witdth to width.

[[div class="float-left"]]
