2 Columns in 1 Page ?

I´m working on this:

As you can see the main text is at the right side, but I would like to add additional text on the left side, how do I include this, so the same article has 2 columns ? I´m using this for the main text to the right:

<div id=“right”>
<txp:article form=“default” listform=“default” />
</div>

Default form just looks like this:

<txp:body />

Thanks

Re: 2 Columns in 1 Page ?

So, you want to split the article body into two columns, or you just want a second column?

What´s the difference ? I think I want to split the article body.

Re: 2 Columns in 1 Page ?

Then the link I provided points to a plugin that will do that. :)

The difference: I was asking whether you needed to have the article body itself displaying in two columns (plugin+markup+style), or if you just wanted a second column on your page that would hold something else (purely markup+style problem).

Re: 2 Columns in 1 Page ?

Ok, I installed the plugin, not sure about how to use – the documentation just says:

Drop-in replacement for <txp:body />.

This plugin will produce two divs, ‘leftCol’ and ‘rightCol’,
and split the paragraphs of the body between them. To achieve
a two-column layout, float both divs to one side.

In my CSS I have a left and a right column already, how do I make the plugin work with my style ?

Thanks

I think you have to rename your columns to ‘leftCol’ and ‘rightCol’. The plugin needs those specific names. Then, the plugin will split your text between the two columns.

Ok, I did it – but how do I insert the left column text then ? and keep the right as it is ?

As you can see the left and right has the same text.

Re: 2 Columns in 1 Page ?

First: I believe you didn’t close your <div id="outer" >. I don’t think this has anything to do with it, but I just noticed… :-)

Second: you used two capitals in LeftCol, while your example only had one: leftCol. The plugin probably is case-sensitive, so it doesn’t recognize your CSS.

Third: where did you place your <txp: body />?
