Re: Moving Navigation to the left

Assuming you are starting with the Mirage or Reference Theme.
The location of the navigation or sidebar is completely decided by CSS.
(The divs #ds-body and #ds-options-wrapper are sequential in the hypertext.)
You can even play around with this a bit by going to a page that uses
Mirage and using either Chrome's Dev Tools or Firefox firebug
extension and changing the CSS in #ds-body from float: left; to
float:right;
You would then change the css in the theme you want to use.


Re: Changing from two to three column layout

Assuming you are starting with Mirage
You will again need to modify or create a theme.  This time create a
new div (Say #ds-options-left) for the content you want in the third
column. at the same level as #ds-body and #ds-options-wrapper
Most likely done in [themename]/lib/xsl/core/page-structure.xsl

and then if you want to move some of the things that were in  the
original sidebar you would need to modify navigation.xsl, and grab
only some of the dri:options using xsl (possibly some template using
n='OPTION_NAME' to specify the ones you want in each sidebar) eg...
<xsl:template match="dri:options/dri:list[@n='browse'>
  <!-- do the internal stuff with this options list -->
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

Like I said, shooting from the hip but that might give you some ideas
to run with.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
