Can't get righ blocks to show

Hello,

I 'm trying to modify a theme and I would like it to show blocks in a column on the right and still have blocks in a left cloum ie: left, center and right columns.

(it looks like it's supposed to display the right blocks on left, but it doesn't )

I've been attempting to adust the tables but not really getting anywhere - though at one point I did manage to have the center blocks duplicated 8 times vertically accross the screen

This is the theme html:

Hmm, been experimenting further -

If I set my blocks to display center right they show on the right hand side, but squashed to the right and underneath the centre blocks

There is no table column in your theme.html to show right blocks

**EDIT**

Ok there is:

<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_rblocks}>
<{include file="rmdigital/theme_blockright.html"}>
<{/foreach}>

But it's in the same table cell as your left blocks, don't think thats a good idea, but at the moment they should display underneath your left blocks, on the left side.

Does theme_blockright.html exist, as it might not, if the theme was not meant to have right blocks.

No it get block title and block content from the style sheet which is there, but u need the theme_blockright.html containing:


<div class="blockTitle"><{$block.title}></div>

<div class="blockContent"><{$block.content}></div>

to get them.
