Changing sides?

[smartcooky]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, and I'm sure an Admin/Mod can move it if I have it wrong.

I was wondering if there is a mod to allow the Admin of a forum to choose, via the ACP, which side of the portal he would like any particular portal block to appear. I imagine that this would be in the form of a simple radio button (left or right) in each block's configuration page in the ACP.

Also, is there a mod to allow the Admin to change the vertical order in which the left and right portal blocks are displayed. I imagine that you could simply move them up or down with a click on an up or down arrow, similar to the way Admins can currently change the order of forums and categories.

Ther are no such mods, and i think there wont be...
This will be - amongst others - a feature of portal v2.x.x
Till then, you can change the order of your blocks just by hand.

Ok.

Thanks for the replay and the link, but its no good to me because I do not have access to "portal_body.html"

Never mind. Just thought I'd ask.

No access to portal_body.html? Are you just an Co-Admin with no FTP access?
If you have access to the ACP you can use the template editor instead...

Yes, I am an admin of a hosted forum, so I have ACP access but no FTP access

In ACP > STYLES > Templates there is no option to edit.. only "Cache" and "Refresh"

In ACP > STYLES > Themes there is an option to edit the CSS, and I have done a fair bit of that, e.g. changing colours and images, adding banners, footers, background images, setting foreground transparency, that sort of thing. However, I have never found anything in the Theme CSS that I thought related to the positions of the Portal Blocks.

Are you saying that I can change the block positions by editing the theme CSS?

[Marc]

No, you would need to edit the Template. If that isn't possible, you can't change the block positions.

[smartcooky]

I thought not

Thanks anyway

I'll just have to wait for V2
