2 column side, al pages not listed

Interesting. If I change to 3 column, thin, wide, thin, I get all pages list; however, it wont work with my setup.

If there was a way for me to go thin, thin, wide, that would likely work. But I don't see a style, so far, that does that.

Are you using the community templates?

I wasn't able to understand very well what your issue is...

Normally you should rebuild the whole site to see a change taking effect. However, you could just re-save one single article or rebuild only the indexes to see if the change you've made produces the effect you're expecting.

As for the thin, thin, wide setup you could get that by adding a customization to your "Stylesheet" index template.

Basically, you would copy the CSS settings for the alpha, beta, gamma columns and you change their coding to reach your goal.

Basically, if you change now the layout to 3 columns: thin, wide, thin and then add the following coding to your "Stylesheet" index template:

/* Customized Thin-Wide-Thin */

.layout-twt #alpha {
left: 390px;
}

.layout-twt #beta {
left: -750px;
}

.layout-twt #gamma {
left: -560px;
}

Or, if you want the detailed coding:

/* Customized Thin-Wide-Thin */

.layout-twt #alpha {
left: 390px;
width: 560px;
}

.layout-twt #beta {
left: -750px;
width: 190px;
}

.layout-twt #gamma {
left: -560px;
width: 190px;
}

This should convert your thin-wide-thin layout into a thin-thin-wide layout...

Make sure you rebuild your "Stylesheet" index template so that the above coding would be listed on: http://crestar.drivein-jim.net/crest_of_a_star/styles.css

And would overwrite your current CSS definitions.

Last, but not least, make sure the custom coding above is placed after the current coding from the "Stylesheet" index template, meaning after:

"/* end StyleCatcher imports */"

My issue is only 7 of my 10 pages are showing links on the main/entrance page.

I found that by switching to wide, thin, thin, i can see all 10 of my faq pages listed/linked on my main/entrance page.

But due to the pngs I have, game maps, if I do wide, thin, thin, the right side of the map pngs ( 600x750 pixels) are covered.

So I was trying to figure out, and try, thin, thin, wide, so the righgt side of the pngs wouldn't be covered over.

I somewhat understand css, it was finding the one that would give me the effect I was looking for was the problem.

I'll check into that Mihai, thanks !

Still over writes the pngs.

Is there anyway to get the wide,thin to show all of my faq pages?

I hope the edit to 'thin,wide' made it.

You could follow my logic and overwrite the default settings for the wide-thin layout by making the wide column a bit smaller and the thin one a bit bigger.

It seems that you need more space on the thin column to slow all your pages...

Vertical space is what I need. Or the Recursive looping to show all Pages.

I made changes in the horizontal, alpha went from 750 to 650, and the beta increased from 190 to 210. no affect to the number of faq/pages showing.

Interesting. I copy and pasted, I have a text file backup on my computer, from the 3 column Primary sidebar over the 2 column side bar... and only 7 of the 10 pages show up.

So the limit on Pages showing on the 2 column sidebar is located elsewhere in MT.

I have temporarily gone back to the unmodified thick, thin Tristan blue 4.2 template.

Is there a way in making the template comment box dimensions appear smaller?

Thankyou Allan

Looks like the blog is using a Community Blog style with the Classic Blog template set.

I tried all of the themes I have with MT 4.2, and I don't see any that would help me.

I did a search here, and on google, for more themes, but I don't see any to get. I go to the sites, and ... nothing there. Some of the links on the Movable Type wiki lead to 404 pages. So, locations of themes that still exist would help.

Is there some documentation about that would show and tell me how to modify the layout on MT so I can change it to do what I want ? I barely know any php. But I am willing to work at fixing my site; however, guessing doesn't work very well.

I did try one site, had around 20 or so images of blog templates... but he had nothing I could find to download.

Thank you for your help.

Any updates ?

Thanks.
