Split an articles content between 2 columns
Hmm,
I think the secondary_col content will have to be done using a form instead. Anyone have any other suggestions?
My layout is already created so my first idea of doing this by adding a div class=“primary_col” and div class=“secondary_col” into the body field of the article is a no no.
The secondary content is too large to be applied with a custom field me-thinks/

Re: Split an articles content between 2 columns
Take a look at jcb_columnize – it allows you to define a breakpoint in your body article where the content is split into divs and you have some control over how they are named too.

Re: Split an articles content between 2 columns
Can’t seem to get jcb_columnize to work. The txt file when copied and pasted into the plug-in box says it’s incorrectly formatted!!! :-/ Is this now something that is built into the latest version so is no longer supplied as a plug-in? Can someone help me out? Im still needing to split the contents of my <txp:body /> into two different divs (<div class=“main-col”> and <div class=“side-col”>) Have tried adding these div’s directly into the article but it will get wrapped in <p> tags.

Re: Split an articles content between 2 columns
Put this in your article form:
<div class=“main-col”>
<txp:body/>
</div>then, in the article, where you want to split, put this:
...bla bla your text bla bla. Here your main column text ends... bla bla.
</div><div class="side-col">
Here you start your side column text. Bla bla bla...That should work. Mind the space before </div>.

Ah! it’s the space that must have caught me out earlier with the <p> wrapping itself around the div, thanks Zanza

Re: Split an articles content between 2 columns
I’m looking for a version of jcb_columnize with a documentation/help. In the old (official) thread, which is closed now, my search was pretty hopeless..

Re: Split an articles content between 2 columns
There is an article on the net which explains automatic column division which I can’t find at the moment :(
