seperate left column and "main" page by a vertical line?

Hi

 

How do I make a vertical line that seperates the left column from the page to the right of it?

:rolleyes:

It depends on whether you're using an template system or the basic shop. in the basic shop the left column is always a <td> where you can set the right border the way you want it to appear. But this way you have to alter a couple of files,so the vertical line will be displayed on all pages. I'd suggest to use a template, where you only have to define the line once.

Well I'm not much into this. Could you give me an example of to use a template or show me some code of what to write and where? :rolleyes:

A template system, is for example "STS" (Simple template system) that permits you to create your own page template in html, like a "normal" site. It's good for all people who are not very familiar with php, and it's a fast solution too.

 

You can always turn it on or off from the admin panel

you should know that with STS, you can run into problems in the future if you plan on doing a lot of customizations to the functionality of the store.. Things like SPPC and QPB as well as other changes in the product_info page can become more difficult.. but if you are happy with the stock features and just a few added addons, you will be ok with SPPC.

 

if you do not want to do the STS, you will want to have a look in the knowledgebase (link in my signature) and look for how to define a new box class.. Create a new class for just your left column.. then you can apply that to your left column without it effecting other boxes.
