I am a newbie so may (probably) be missing the obvious. I am building a site that needs the basic framework that FarCry caters for really well, header, footer, navigation, search... love it, love FarCry already. What I am stuck on though is the main content area and how best to define my content and template structure.
The content area of the site I am building is split into two distinct columns... the main body text and a smaller column that contains assorted information... links, news, text, and other bits and peices. It's not like the smaller right hand column can be defined as a series of news items.... please look at the links below to see what I mean (my site is directly based on the content from these links) http://www.rad.org.uk/08world/index.htm http://www.rad.org.uk/11shop/index.htm http://www.rad.org.uk/16radacab/index.htm Should I be building the content as one main peice of HTML for the body area and then another peice of HTML for the right hand column.... if so how do I do that? Is it a matter of building an HTML page under a navigation node as the main body HTML, then adding an extra HTML page at the same node level... the page template then rendering the main HTML as the body content... then renders the sibling page as the right hand column? (i.e. the right hand column becomes a single HTML page in it's own right. I suppose the fundamental thing I'm asking here is how does one handle site layouts in a CMS that are expected to be rendered in multiple columns (not table columns as such, but distinct content area columns).... such that the end user (client, non HTML savy) can mange the content themselves? It is obvious to me how this would be handled in situations like news item listings, but the right hand column content in my case is too varied to be locked into a template structure like a news item listing.
