Hi,
Is it possible to set up a left bar?
I mean that I saw a header and a footer inside CodeCharge, but I have a page
that has a left bar too. So the dinamic contents will be showed inside a
table's cell at the right ...
Can I do this automatically?
TIA,
Juan.

Hi Juan,
It can be done and this is how I do it. Hopefully others will submit
different ways because I'd like to see them too.
Select your header page, or make one. Then enter
Page:
Name: Header
Title: Whatever
Forms:
Name: Header
Type: Menu:
Fields:
Caption: Blank
Type: URL
Size: Blank
Now go back to the top of the form. Next to the Name box there's a
little hand. Click on it.
Choose Header&Footer from the menu
In the next box add top chunk of code below. Leave the bottom box empty:
------------------
Now go to your footer page and do the same, except use footer instead of
header and place the remaining code in the "header" box on the
Header&footer screen.
To see what it all looks like, enter all the code below into an html
file and run it.
<!-- Header -->
table width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFF99" height="63" colspan="2">
<div align="center">Header (Add detail as required)</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
table width="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="18%">
table width="140" height="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td bgcolor=#cccccc class=normal Norway align="left">
<li> <a href="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>">Home</a>
<li> <a
href="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/shopping">Shopping</a>
<li> <a
href="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/users/change_password.php">Change
Password</a>
<li> <a
href="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/users/change_settings.php">Change
Settings</a>
<li> <a
href="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/logout.php">Logout</a>
<hr size=1>
<li> <a href="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/admin">Admin
Home</a>
<li> <a
href="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/login.php">Login</a>
<li> <a
href="<?=$CFG->wwwroot?>/users/signup.php">Signup</a>
<hr size=1>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width = 82%>
<!-- end of header -->
<!-- place all code below in your footer -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
table width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<div align=center class=normal><i>Buy Buy Buy! Why Wait
Why Wait!</i></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Now the trick!
We have confused your working area to think it's surrounded by boxes and
tables. Because of this, your working area is now a very simple table
without any bells and whistles. By using this method, you have created
the ultimate template driven site! in my case "every" page I've created
consists of a simple box that fits neatly into the working area. To
prove my point, create another page and add a simple form with some
detail. When you create your site, your form will be neatly squeezed
into the working area where it belongs.
You can expand on this to make a three column site.
Let me know how you go and if you have any problems you may contact me
directly.
Regards,
John

Juan,
As you know, I'm still learning CodeCharge. Although I'd tried most of
the examples, I hadn't tried "Classified ads" until a few moments ago.
Classifieds is exactly what you want and almost identical to what I
supplied you. Forget my stuff and use classifieds instead. It works
fine.
John

Hi John,
I used your idea and works fine. Thanks for the response.
I will see the Classified ads sample.
Thanks again,
Juan.
