Topic: head_sidebar_main ???
Hello,
I am desperately trying to modify head_sidebar_main to put the widgets in the correct order, however, I cannot find where I can edit it within the admin section of TextPattern.
Please help!
Re: head_sidebar_main ???
If you go to "Presentation/Form" you can edit the order.
Basically there is a lot of lines like this:
<txp:output_form form="head_widget_author" />If you change the order of these lines you will also change the order of appearence on the actual site.
Re: head_sidebar_main ???
Thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunately, I still don't see the code where I can modify head_sidebar_main. I am specifically looking for the code in the attached picture. I don't see it anywhere when I go to the Presentation/Form page. Any ideas? http://www.cammamidesign.com/txp_sidebar_form.jpg
Re: head_sidebar_main ???
You mention "the corect order". I assume you want to sort the widgets to match what you like? Like first the author, then the twitter, followed by a text box.
If that is what you want you can take the code you showed in your screenshot and re-arrange the lines, so that the lines are like so:
<div id="sidebar" class="col-<txp:if_variable name="display_sidebar_left_or_right" value='left'>left</txp:if_variable><txp:if_variable name="display_sidebar_left_or_right" value='right'>right</txp:if_variable>">
<txp:if_section name='<txp:variable name="main_articles_section" />'>
<txp:output_form form="head_widget_author" />
<txp:output_form form="head_widget_twitter" />
<txp:output_form form="head_widget_text2" />
<txp:else />
<txp:output_form form="head_widget_author" />
<txp:output_form form="head_widget_twitter" />
<txp:output_form form="head_widget_text2" />
</txp:if_section>
</div> <!-- /#sidebar -->Re: head_sidebar_main ???
Hey Stephen, yes, that is correct and I understand how to do that. My problem is I can't seem to find the initial code to change this. When I go to Presentation/Forms and look at the code, I don't see... <div id="sidebar" ....
Instead, this is the code I see in the box and I can't see where I can modify the sidebar :-(
(I really appreciate your help!!!)

Re: head_sidebar_main ???
On the right hand side scroll down and there is a section labelled "Misc". There you can find the side bar form. If you can ignore the German language maybe this helps:
Look at the right bottom to know which form to edit.
