No left side bar [#221518]

Hi,

I really like this theme but when I install it on my Drupal 5 site I don't have a left or a right side bar, thus I had no user logon or navigation block (as these are by default on the left side bar). When I change these blocks to "content" and "footer" they do become visible but this doesn't look nice. See at http://jktienen.org/drupal

What could be causing this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Peter.

The reason for this I just realized is that the template is entirely missing the block.tpl.php file, if you check one of the default templates in Drupal (Garland, for instance) you will notice that this file is included. I am going to try taking this file and copying it to my Aeon template and modifying it as necessary to see if it works. This problem shouldn't be too difficult to solve, it looks like the guy who made this template was in a rush and left this out, I don't know the process for submitting a corrected file but if anyone knows how I could post a corrected version once I get mine up and working.

Hmm.. still doesn't work after I tried adding in the file, anyone else have any ideas? Well I'm guessing something needs to be added in the css file or another one of the files, damn I just made a customized version of aeon with my own header but it looks like I'll have to go to another template for now.

Hello, It could have something to do with the fact that the right and left sidebars are printed in the same sidebar div with id tag #sidebar.

From the css it appears that the width of the sidebar div is 190px wide. Are you trying to have both right and left sidebars displayed?

Regards, Derek

Sorry people, I'm thinking there was a stuff-up when I released D6.x development version. I'm going to roll back 5.x to the last working version, which should be available when 12 hourly updates are done.

Also, please don't be shy sending feedback to the issue queue to help with further development.

All will be fixed ASAP.

Cheers, Chris.

Thanks for picking up on the issue, Chris. I'm afraid my knowledge of css is too limited but I guess Derek's suggestion might be useful?

Cheers,

Peter.

Both sidebar regions are rendered correctly in the left. In a future release I will change this as it is confusing, removing the right sidebar region from the allowable options.
