This is an old version made for MS1. New version for MS2 here:

Column Controller with Admin v2.2 for MS2
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1009

** THE ATTACHED FILE IS NOT GOOD!**

Just FYI, there are some errors in this contrib (the download just before my post)

The *.sql file needs some modifications before running it.

INSERT INTO configuration_group (configuration_group_id,configuration_group_title,configuration_group_description,sort_order,visible) VALUES ('14','Column Controller','Configure Column width which boxes will display and where.','14','0');

--SHOULD BE--

INSERT INTO configuration_group (configuration_group_id,configuration_group_title,configuration_group_description,sort_order,visible) VALUES ('14','Column Controller','Configure Column width which boxes will display and where.','14','1');

NOTE THE '0' changed to '1'

And you need to make sure that '14' is not already used! 14 is GZIP!!!!

Then you will need to edit your .php files as well!

Also, for some reason in the /boxes/ they tell you to add to the "TOOLS" but it dosent match, again, you need to edit!!!!

I lost a couple of errors trying to get this to work, but I finally stopped messing with it.

This is a modification of Linda McGrath's Column Controller contribution. Thank you Linda for all your wonderful contributions.

This modification allows you to change all settings via a Column Controller that will be located under the Tools category in your Administration Tool. This was created using the 8/28/02 snapshot and should work as far back as March.

This new version now only asks two questions per box; would you like the box to be displayed and where you would like it to be displayed. The Login box bug has also been fixed.

This version fixes the problem of the columns not displaying in the previous versions.

All files are included, if you have already installed a previous version, simply replace the catalog/includes/column_left.php and column_right.php files.

Fixed sql statement to include the right and left column width options.

Also included the login box contribution.

Column Controller manages via toggle switches:

What shows up in which column
How wide are the columns independantly of each other
Remove a column completely and move contents to the other column
Adds Loginbox V1.0 by Aubrey Kilian <aubrey@mycon.co.za>
Adds a left column banner
Adds a right column banner
Adds a PayPal Verification Logo

You will only need to sort the columns display order in column_left.php and column_right.php then set the toggle switches for what is on/off in column_controller.php

NOTE: if you are removing a column or resizing the columns independantly of one another there is a minor modification to the 33 files or so in /catalog ... but it is really pretty easy to do.
