Hi there, I'v just installed Backend/PHPslash but can't figure out one thing: All my blocks are on the right side Now I know it should use the index3col template How do "place" the blocks on the left since it does not show as an option when I create a block? TIA Best regards Eward Schippers "I don't suffer from paranoia.... I'm enjoying every minute of it!" |

Hi Eward At 22:06 01/01/03 +0100, you wrote: >Thanks for the help I already had a hunch it might have to do domething with >the variables but it's hard to guess it :) >It works now like I wanted it but I think this should be entered in the docs >asap. You can find a good resource for general PSL stuff at http://www.phpslash.org/article.php3?story_id=34§ion_id=8&topic_id=39 - it's an online manual. Not all of it is relevant to Back-end, but sections 5 & 6 are worth having a look at in particular - as well as the rest of the site. But you're right - maybe we should put a more explicit link in the back-end.org site and the READMEs. There was a pretty extensive manual for the previous version of BackEnd, but the move to PSL has superseded a lot of it, unfortunately. I think someone's working on an update. >I downloaded the snapshot. Cool - we're doing some major development ATM so the CVS code may sometimes be a bit glitchy, though we are trying to keep it stable. Peter PS: Have you subscribed to the back-end lists too? |
