<txp:output_form form="menu" />

That’s probably the right-hand column. Look in Presentation->Forms.

Well, you can find the art gallery links, and the ‘Recent comments’. In between is only this:

<txp:article_custom form="default" allowoverride="0" id="2" pgonly="0" /> <!-- display welcome message -->

So my guess is that your links are in article #2 (Content > Articles).

BTW, it’s hard to find something if you don’t know what you are looking for. Did you read the documentation several users linked to?

@Jeff, I think esebm is looking for the links that come after the slideshow.

esebm · 2010-07-14 18:01:18

No, it’s not the right hand column.

I have opened this file in Homesite and it clearly shows only part of the left hand column. There’s no reference to the left column at all.

jsoo · 2010-07-14 18:07:06

This isn’t an HTML file, it’s a template to allow Txp to create one. Homesite can’t put it together.

The right hand column is div#nav. The only thing in that part of the template is the form called “menu”. It has to be there.

jsoo: this is exactly copied from the default template.

Els: I know exactly what I’m looking for: 1. The links in the right-hand column. 2. The other page templates.

I’m giving this up. I was supposed to move some links from the left column to the right. With a “normal” website this would have been an affair of 5 minutes. So far, I’ve spent over 5 hours with no result in sight. I’m not getting paid for this.

Thanks,

Ed

Good thing we are.

It looks to me like those links are in an article. I’d suggest using smd_where_used as mentioned above to search for the text you want to move. It will tell you where it is.

If it is in an article it may not be a simple change to put them where you want.

@Matt, I think he gave up ;)

@Jeff, LOL.

Your template requires 12 forms:

“meta-description”, “keywords-sitewide”, “meta-keywords”, “javascript-hide-div”, “gallery-list”, “gallery”, “default”, “category-stickies”, “excerpt-list”, “Links”, “menu”, “footer”

Why you can’t see these forms?

For that matter could be important:

“gallery-list”, “gallery”, “default”, “category-stickies”, “Links”, “menu”

In one of this must exist a <div class="storycontent"> or/and a <ul class="intro">

Because, in your HTML I see:

<div class="storycontent">
	<p>[slideshow]</p>
	<ul class="intro">
		<li><a href="/category/featured-paintings">Featured paintings</a></li>
		<li><a href="/category/astrology-birth-chart-paintings">Personalized Astrology Birth Chart Paintings</a></li>
		<li><a href="/category/fine-art-gifts">Notecards and Prints</a></li>
		<li><a href="/category/back-catalog">Back Catalog</a></li>
	</ul>
	<p>[More paragraphs]</p>
</div>

But I can’t found this classes in your template.

I think we should discuss here technical issues and not mock the questioner.
