Fixed Left Sidebar

[adetienne]

Hi,

I've been searching around to find a code for a fixed left sidebar on my site, and can't seem to find one. Maybe I'm just blind or not resourceful enough, but any help would be appreciated. : )

It's rather simple.

Just create a container and give it a class. Paste it above the $[header] variable in your Forum Wrapper template by going to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper:

<div class="side_bar">Side bar info</div>
Then add this to your Style Sheet by going to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet and paste this at the very bottom:

/* Side Bar */
.side_bar {
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 200px;
height: 500px;
background-color: #f8f8f8;
padding: 10px;
}

You can of course mess with the styling and positioning until you get what you want.

Sorry iv obviously called it the wrong thing, I'm new to this.
I used the code you posted above to make the left side bar and added a game tracker code to make the thing ony my website (see link)

But I need to place another just underneath the one I already created, is this possible?

Or one on the right if that's possible

You can place multiple things within the <div class="side_bar">Side bar info</div>, not just one thing.

Hi
As a noob also i downloaded the Sidebar Redux from the plugins, after being recommended, and have to say it is absolutely brilliant for everything you want to include and move.
Iv been playing around with it for a few days and have now achieved the look i required.
