But the function.php has only one call line for for the first sidebar file. So you need to create another call line calling out to the second sidebar file.</p> <p>3) Do this by opening the function.php file. Find the line (near the top) that reads:</p> <blockquote><p>if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') )<br /> register_sidebar(1);</p> </blockquote> <p>Copy the "register_sidebar(1);" line. Paste the new line below it. Change the "1" to a "2" like this:</p> <blockquote><p> register_sidebar(2);</p> </blockquote> <p>Be sure to keep the semicolon!<br /> And that's it! You should see "Sidebar 1" and "Sidebar 2" in your widgets options. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/wheres-the-sidebar-2-in-admin-area#post-1052 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 05:35:42 +0000 arm0110 1052@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>I have the same problem in Cutline with the two right sidebars. Sidebar 1 displays in the Widgets admin area and works fine, but Sidebar 2 does not appear at all in Widgets Admin.

One question. How do you assign a sidebar file to a sidebar widget? Cutline already knows that sidebar 1=l_sidebar.php and that sidebar 2=r_sidebar.php. How do I correlate the rest? </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/multiple-sidebars-for-page-templates#post-948 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 01:10:36 +0000 nycdeb 948@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>hi all,</p> <p>I know it got marked resolved - and I was puzzled when it happened since it wasn't at that time resolved. I poked and prodded the coding as much as possible but I haven't been able to find an easy solution that didn't involve widgets. </p> <p>I'll try and explain though I admit in advance, I am crap at explaining things like this. I just poke at code until it does what I want and I'm not always sure why it works.</p> <p>The answer I've cobbled together so far involves using 3 sidebars (the ones that exist already: l_sidebar.php and r_sidebar.php and one I called sidebar3.php). To create, sidebar3, I just made a copy of the code for "right" (since I was planning on that one being the one that changed most) and I renamed it by including a call for Template Name: sidebar3 at the top. That way, the templates that are supposed to call that one, know which one to get.</p> <p>In functions.php, I changed the number of sidebars to 3 and lo! there appeared 3 sidebars on my widgets presentation page so I could mess with the contents of the various sidebars. I also grabbed the JAW Duplicate Widgets plugin to allow me to make multiple copies of specific widgets ('cause I needed two sidebars to include "Recent Posts" and stuff like that. It also allowed me to make quite a few "Text Box" widgets which I used for ads.</p> <p>So, having created the sidebars, I went about creating templates and making sure that the sidebar I want on the right (I've left the left one pretty consistent) is name of the sidebar after the TEMPLATEPATH include near the bottom of the page. </p> <p>I would have liked to have avoided all the widgeting but *shrug* - no other answer seemed to be forthcoming and I didn't know how to "unresolve" the thread since I wasn't sure how it got marked resolved in the first place. </p> <p>I've done my best to explain. I'm not sure I helped but I hope I did. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/wheres-the-sidebar-2-in-admin-area#post-861 Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:03:09 +0000 Stephanie 861@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>One place to look is Presentation -&gt; Widgets. You should see Sidebar 1 and Sidebar 2. Another is in the Theme Editor (also under Presentation) look for the files labeled r_sidebar.php and l_sidebar.php. Finally, you can download the widgets file from the directory labeled blog on your server for access to the widgets. -Good luck. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/wheres-the-sidebar-2-in-admin-area#post-849 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 09:17:33 +0000 cutlinegurl 849@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>I am using the 3 column layout.

You could try not using a widget, and just opening the sidebar.php file you want the ad to be in, and hard code a header surrounded in the same h2 tags as your other widgets, and make sure it's above the call for dynamic content, and then stick your google ad code their website gave you in there.

I'm really extraordinarily pleased with it. Anyway, here's my question today.</p> <p>As I start creating different page templates recently and I'd like to vary the content of the side bars per template type. I've figured out how to get a template to display one sidebar or the other but I can't figure out who to vary the contents of the sidebars themselves.</p> <p>So, for example, if 'home' and 'about' have l_sidebar (containing recent posts, categories, archives) and r_sidebar (containing blogroll, search, meta) can I have a left hand sidebar on a page template (let's call it 'recipe') that contains categories, blogroll and search without changing the l_sidebar on home and about?</p> <p>I'm starting the think that using widgets is what is holding me back. If there's a way to work this with widgets, that would be great. If I have to lose the widgets to get this done - well, I will give it my best shot if someone can get me started. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/how-to-change-color-of-sidebars#post-94 Sun, 09 Sep 2007 01:26:53 +0000 spiltmilkblog 94@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>Thanks! :) </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/how-to-change-color-of-sidebars#post-93 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 23:08:05 +0000 karmatashi 93@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>no problem. looks nice on you site. </p> http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/topic/how-to-change-color-of-sidebars#post-82 Sat, 08 Sep 2007 07:10:51 +0000 spiltmilkblog 82@http://cutline.tubetorial.com/forums-archive/ <p>karmatashi - This is exactly what I needed!
