[opal] [sidebar] Re-ordering sidebar and adding extra boxes

First, the code you're going to have to put in your theme layer: {new stuff in red}

function Page::lay_print_sidebar () {
$this->lay_print_summary();
var string text = """<div class="columnitem">STUFF YOU WANT IN YOUR NEW BOX </div>""";
print_box("TITLE OF NEW BOX ", $text);

$this->print_linklist();
$this->lay_print_freetext();
$this->lay_print_calendar();
}

Of course, you can put these in any order you want. For example:

function Page::lay_print_sidebar () {
var string text = """<div class="columnitem">STUFF YOU WANT IN YOUR NEW BOX </div>""";
print_box("TITLE OF NEW BOX ", $text);
$this->lay_print_freetext();
$this->print_linklist();
$this->lay_print_freetext();
$this->lay_print_summary();
$this->lay_print_calendar();
}

How To: Adding Modules to Bloggish Sidebar

First, you'll need to know how to create a theme layer. This will be the code you'd put in there:

If you have a 2 column layout, you first put this code in: Sidebar order for 2 column )

If you have a 3 column layout, then you'd first put this code in: Sidebar order for 3 column )

After you have put one of those codes in, and gotten all your modules in the order you want them [and taken out any you don't want in there], you then put in this code: Wherein you decide how many extra modules you want and what goes in them. )

How To: Creating a Theme Layer

For those customizations that need more than just CSS over-rides, you're going to have to create a theme layer. It can be extremely easy, trust me. You have to remember, as far as I know, this is only for paid and permanent [self-committed and permanently insane] accounts.

In case you've made changes to your customization wizard already. )

Now, for actually creating a theme layer!
