You could use another block position instead - and move it next to your "normal" right column in your theme.

Example Right-Center block

When I use center right position then block goes up and news (from module) goes down and when I change screen resolution 800x600 to 1024x768 then center blocks chaned width form and i tried put in css file exemple "center right column width 120px" then center right column goes to center of page,not to right side. I want static right column.
tnx!

You have to also change it in your theme.html so that the center-right blocks loop is not part of the same vertical container with the center-center (or main column). If you're table based, the center-right loop has to be a different column (not row). If you're doing it with divs, the center-right loop cannot be contained in the same div in which you have your main (or center-center) stuff.

That's on the assumption that you want to recycly the center-right blocks for your second right column.

The site you're referencing uses a table. That seems quite feasible. So you have in your theme.html something like:

<table>
<tr>
<td>left blocks loop</td>
<td>center and center-left block loops and main content</td>
<td>center-right blocks loop</td>
<td>right blocks loop</td>
</tr>
</table>

You can size and arrange it with the css file. If you want to design it tableless, then I wish you the best of luck, and a lot of patience. Four columns looks like a challenge, at least if you want to have it liquid. Fixed width should be easy.

You could try this:

<td id="centercolumn">
                    <!-- Display center blocks if any -->
                    <{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}>
                        <table cellspacing="0">
                        <tr>
                            <td id="centerCcolumn" colspan="2">
                                    <!-- Start center-center blocks loop -->
                                <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}>
                                  <{include file="default/blocks/theme_blockcenter_c.html"}>
                                <{/foreach}>
                                <!-- End center-center blocks loop -->
                            </td>
                          </tr>
                          <tr>
                    <{if $xoops_showclblock == 1}>
                            <td id="centerLcolumn">
                                    <!-- Start center-left blocks loop -->
                                  <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_clblocks}>
                                <{include file="default/blocks/theme_blockcenter_l.html"}>
                                  <{/foreach}>
                                <!-- End center-left blocks loop -->
            <{else}>
                    <div id="content">
                      <{$xoops_contents}>
                    </div>
                            </td>
                    <{/if}>
                                <td id="centerRcolumn">
                                <!-- Start center-right blocks loop -->
                                  <{foreach item=block from=$xoops_crblocks}>
                                <{include file="default/blocks/theme_blockcenter_r.html"}>
                                  <{/foreach}>
                                <!-- End center-right blocks loop -->
                            </td>
                          </tr>
                        </table>
                    <{/if}>
                    <!-- End display center blocks -->
              </td>


The only problem is that the center right column has to appear on every page, or the content won't appear. Kind of sloppy, but it works. I bet someone could come up with some better logic than what I'm using.

Hope I wrote it right; it's late and I'm exhausted.

That site you provided the link for, has the 2nd right column hard-coded in - it's not part of the XOOPS "block placement system". The only option you have is to do what is suggested above and re-code theme.html so that the center-right blocks are in their own seperate column and are placed next to the right blocks column.

You'll probably have to edit the css for your theme so the new 2nd right column looks more like the original right column.

Just wondered why I got lots of traffic from here suddenly... I operate the mentioned blog above.

My theme.html is modified and uses a table with four columns. The column widths are controlled by style.css.

The last column isn't hard coded, but in XOOPS you can use module positions, and I use something like user9, or something. I've just removed the header from the blocks, and set these blocks to use different css-code than regular blocks.

Edit: Sorry, got a bit of a brain meltdown above. That's from my joomla site. That should teach me to use lots of different CMS:s. My Xoops-blog uses the top-center-right block position for my ads. The left- and right-columns (the normal ones) uses the common positions.

You just have to write a loop (in the rightmost column) to show the top-center-right blocks).
