TGA - the CMPS version.

[Syn]

Well, I don't know if this is against the rules, but I am posting again to show off my rendition of the CMPS. There are still things that I'd like to know, like... how to call a module outside of one of the columns, or how to create a different main template for my home page than my other CMPS pages, but that's besides the point.

I've gone pretty much as far as I could with this and I hope you like this one as much as you liked the last:

Comments, concerns, and anything else - greatly appreciated. :D

Looks nice. You changed up the design enough so it doesn't look like just-another-portal.

Thanks Neeto!

This shows how versatile this script is, like I addressed there is still a lot of things I'd like to know how to use, I like the fact that you can really change the whole look to make it not look like a typical portal. :)

It's a lot of work and frustration, but it's worth it in the end.

Very nice :)

Would like to know how you made the scrolling News section like that. Is it a basic IFrame tag?

Actually, it would have been easier to use in an iframe, but it is simple CSS. The only thing this does though is completely mess up your columns if you wish to use the template for other pages. This is why I was wondering if there was a conditional to use a certain column for only one page, but I don't know if that's possible.

Here's the code I used:
<if condition="$show['left_column']">
<td width="$vba_options[portal_leftcolwidth]">
<div class="news">
$home[leftblocks]
</div>
</td>
<!-- Spacer Cell -->
<td width="$vba_options[portal_colspacing]"><img alt="" src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" width="$vba_options[portal_colspacing]" /></td>
<!-- / Spacer Cell -->
</if>


The CSS is as follows:
.news {
border: 5px solid #E9E5D5;
text-align: left;
color: #222222;
padding: 0 10px 10px 10px;
width: 520px;
height: 595px;
overflow: auto;
}
