The best way to do this, that i know of, is to make use of the custom fields. If you open your single.php page, or post.php page in an editor you will be able to find the line: <?php get_sidebar(); ?> You want to be able to edit this so that it can acquire the information needed to display the correct sidebar. So replace with: <?php $sidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, "sidebar", true); get_sidebar($sidebar); ?> Now, to display a custom sidebar in a post or page; add the custom field “sidebar” and include the name of the sidebar file. E.g. if you insert “test”, it will display sidebar-test.php as your sidebar. I hope that makes sense, however, i just realised... you will need to have the ability to enable widgets in more than one sidebar. Check out this tutorial on how to do so: Multiple Sidebars Wordpress

Nice work. I can think of quite a few good uses for it...will have a mess around when i've got some time.

I'll probably give the background some texture in order to dampen the space a little. But i'm trying to keep the site a little more minimal this time around, as i want people to focus on the work i'm showcasing, and not so much the site itself. As for the logo, i agree, could do with a bit of work, at least you noticed it was aiming to be an LB haha. Rosie, i get what you mean, will have a play around and see if i can come up with something that will work well. Thanks folks, appreciated.

OOPS!!! Just realised i posted the wrong link. Thanks though Guezala as i will be working on the design in the first link too at some point.

I quite like the design. Some suggestions: Drop the height of the black area and get rid of the piece of text that appears when you click a link...i don't think it is needed, looks like it is there just now simply to fill some of the extra black space. #content is 703px...i think the end of the #top-menu (end of the contact button) should line up with the right hand edge of #contact Other than that, i think the design is pretty nice!

Hi folks. Just wondering if you could have a little look at the VERY ROUGH idea i've got for my new portfolio site. There isn't any content yet, just looking on feedback/suggestions on Layout, Interaction, Colour, Logo etc. The link iswww.leeboyce.co.uk/test/indexb.html SORRY, THIS IS THE ACTUAL LINK http://leeboyce.co.uk/test/theindexb.html I never have a problem doing work for clients, but i'm like an estate agent with a messy house, can never do work for myself! Thanks in advance...

I've tried it. It is very bare bones at the moment, and slightly unstable, but thats expected. Honestly, i can't wait until it kicks off, its going to be so useful for project management. I really hope it does't kill Gmail though and instead they integrate them with each other.

I think you might be best using an e-commerce program such as Zen-Cart or OsCommerce. These have plenty of built in features which would likely come in handy. e.g. if the takeaway sells pizza, it is easy enough to set up additional fields (such as choice of toppings) on products and have the price adjust accordingly.

Hi. Just wondering if anyone can help me out a little... I'm making a site for a company which sells maps and i'm using zen cart for it. The problem is, there are in excess of 3,000 products and some of them have duplicate titles. Is there a way i can amend the Order Confirmation E-mail to include, either the product descriptions or the category/subcategory the product is contained in. Thanks.

AAaach, thanks adam. I did try that earlier, but never took out the position:absolute 's so it stayed the same. [slaps head] Thanks.

Hi folks. I've came across a little problem on with a site i've been working on, infact, the same problem on a couple of sites and i'm just wondering if there is a way around it. I've used the, pretty common method of centering my site by using position:absolute; left:50%; margin-left:'minus half the width of the div' The problem is...if the windows width is reduced to anything below 'width of the div' the left hand side of the page begins to cut off, and because you can only scroll right, the content is essentially useless. Is there a way i can fix this. Maybe using javascript or something (my knowledge of javascript is limited, but i thought something like this might be along the lines of what i need? lets say the width of the div needing centered is 1000px <script> function setMargin() var width =document.documentElement.­clientHeight/Width; var difference = 1000 - document.documentElement.­clientHeight/Width; if (width < 1000) { document.getElementById('the_div').object.style.marginLeft = difference;} else {document.getElementById('the_div').object.style.marginLeft="-500";} </script> The site i'm working on just now can be viewed At this location Reduce the window size and you will see my problem. Maybe javascript isnt the way to fix it, so any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

i've got a dedicated server so thats all good. cheers! =)

Hopefully this will help you....i used it for a site i finished recently. Not sure how efficient it is and i'm sure there are better methods but it suited me at the time. Hope it helps. The Form Page. <?php include("your config"); // initialization $photo_upload_fields = "10"; $counter = 1; // default number of fields $number_of_fields = "10"; // If you want more fields, then the call to this page should be like, // preupload.php?number_of_fields=20 if( $_GET['number_of_fields'] ) $number_of_fields = (int)($_GET['number_of_fields']); // Lets build the Photo Uploading fields while( $counter <= $number_of_fields ) { $photo_upload_fields .=<<<__HTML_END Image {$counter}: <input name=' photo_filename[]' type='file' /> <input type='hidden' name='photo_caption[]' value='$_GET[propid]' /> __HTML_END; $counter++; } // Final Output echo <<<__HTML_END <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='includes/properties/uploadimg.php' method='post' name='upload_form'> <div id="col1"> <!-Insert the photo fields here --> $photo_upload_fields <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Add Photos' /> </div> </form> __HTML_END; ?> The Processing Page <?php include("your config"); // initialization $result_final = ""; $counter = 0; // List of our known photo types $known_photo_types = array( 'image/pjpeg' => 'jpg', 'image/jpeg' => 'jpg', 'image/gif' => 'gif', 'image/bmp' => 'bmp', 'image/x-png' => 'png' ); // GD Function List $gd_function_suffix = array( 'image/pjpeg' => 'JPEG', 'image/jpeg' => 'JPEG', 'image/gif' => 'GIF', 'image/bmp' => 'WBMP', 'image/x-png' => 'PNG' ); // Fetch the photo array sent by preupload.php $photos_uploaded = $_FILES['photo_filename']; // Fetch the photo caption array $photo_caption = $_POST['photo_caption']; while( $counter <= '20' ) { if($photos_uploaded['size'][$counter] > 0) { if(!array_key_exists($photos_uploaded['type'][$counter], $known_photo_types)) { $result_final .= "File ".($counter+1)." is not a photo<br />"; } else { mysql_query( "INSERT INTO properties_pics(`photo_filename`, `photo_caption`) VALUES('0', '".addslashes($photo_caption[$counter])."')" ); $new_id = mysql_insert_id(); $filetype = $photos_uploaded['type'][$counter]; $extention = $known_photo_types[$filetype]; $filename = $new_id.".".$extention; mysql_query( "UPDATE properties_pics SET photo_filename='".addslashes($filename)."'

"/tb_".$filename."' /> Column ".($counter+1)." Added<br />"; } } $counter++; } // Print Result echo <<<__HTML_END $result_final __HTML_END; ?> Oh, in the form page, i used the photo_caption for another purpose, but hopefully you get the general idea.

Sorry for the delayed reply, got caught up with another site. Thanks for the advice, i found the examples and i think they will help alot. For anyone else who may need them, you will find them here: http://www.rbsworldpay.com/support/bg/index.php?page=development&sub=integration&subsub=examples#basic Thanks skidz!
