Are you aware of the "hack" that allows for different left and right blocks? It's linked from the theme documentation. This may also help here (see below). >I modified the call to create the search block to include a >different template: >http://teamtest.the-depths-of-hell.com/geeklog/public_html/search.php I can't access that page without logging in but I guess what you're trying to do is to use one set of block header/footer for the actual blocks in the left and right column and another one for the blocks in the center / content area. My "Rude Colors" theme uses a variation of the above-mentioned hack to do exactly that. In the theme's functions.php, use this: --- snip --- $result = DB_query("SELECT onleft,name FROM {$_TABLES['blocks']} WHERE is_enabled = 1"); $nrows = DB_numRows($result); for ($i = 1; $i <= $nrows; $i++) { $A = DB_fetchArray($result); $_BLOCK_TEMPLATE[$A['name']] = 'blockheader-lr.thtml,blockfooter- lr.thtml'; } $_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['whats_related_block'] = 'blockheader- lr.thtml,blockfooter-lr.thtml'; $_BLOCK_TEMPLATE['story_options_block'] = 'blockheader- lr.thtml,blockfooter-lr.thtml'; --- snip --- No need to modify any of Geeklog's core files ... bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.tinyweb.de/
