Thanks Clyde.. I've been waiting for so long..

That works fine on my v1.3.5

I'm wondering if there any way to insert an image into that center column..??

[clydejones]

I do this by defining the image in a defines file: includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/my_image_defines.php

define('MAIN_IMAGE_WIDTH', '200');
define('MAIN_IMAGE_HEIGHT', '200');
define('MAIN_IMAGE', 'your_image.jpg');
define('MAIN_IMAGE_TEXT', 'image text');

Then calling it in includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php

<?php echo zen_image($template->get_template_dir(MAIN_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . MAIN_IMAGE, MAIN_IMAGE_TEXT); ?>

Place the image in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/your_image.jpg

stylesheet.css is located under /includes/templates/template_default/css/
if you customizing the template copy the css folder to your template directory and then modify the stylesheet.css there

I can't get it too work (adding text to the bottom of my center column). I followed clydes instructions and got a parse error for the '}'. Changed that to a ')' and cleaned the error. However, I get NO text showing up. I'm using 1.3.7.

It's the first site in my signature if you need to take a look.

I didn't notice the centercolumnFooter declaration in either of your (2) stylesheets.

stylesheet.css and stylesheet_new.css nor did I see the (div id="centercolumnFooter") on the page when I viewed the page source.

Those two stylesheets appear to be identical so I'd get rid of one of them just to prevent them from interfering with each other.

[wtashby]

The two css files work in tandom with my template. If I get rid of one (either one) the template goes bonkers

Aside from that, I've added the declaration in both of them, I have modified, created and uploaded all the files you described, exactly as you described, and it just won't call the center column footer.

Remember, it's The Real As Seen On TV I'm concerned about.

Quick question about

2. in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE
create a new file centercolumn_footer_defines.php

define ('CENTERCOLUMN_FOOTER_TEXT','You can place any text you want here'};

Is that supposed to be wrapped in <?php ?>
cause I did

[clydejones]

Just to double check:

#centercolumnFooter {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

Make sure this is in both of your stylesheets.
includes/templates/trublu/css/stylesheet.css and stylesheet_new.css
----------

2. in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/trublu
create a new file centercolumn_footer_defines.php

define ('CENTERCOLUMN_FOOTER_TEXT','You can place any text you want here');

3. open includes/templates/trublu/templates/tpl_index_default.php

scroll to the bottom of the file and just above the last </div>

insert the following statement:

<div id="centercolumnFooter"><?php echo CENTERCOLUMN_FOOTER_TEXT; ?> </div>
