I have custom content in my middle, and I need to add another custom box on the side, on the same page. Like the links of interest on the front page here, and then a box with some works and a image in the middle. How would I do that?

You should probably add it as a module instead.

How do I do that. I made a module called links on the left, and then I told it to include adv_links, and then created adv_links in that skins templates. Nothing shows up on the left.

Take a closer look at the setting when adding the module...
OR Template to Include:
Please note that templates should have the prefix "adv_portal". It is not necessary to enter that prefix with the template name, so if the template you would like to include is named "adv_portal_search" then you would simply enter "search" for the template to include.

I would REALLY like to have multiple "custom content" modules.

I understand that I can simply add specific modules for specific content, but because of the large number of pages my site has, don't want to muck up the "edit modules" page with thousands of modules, each used only once, on one page.

Nearly every page on my site needs some custom content in the left column, in the middle and in the right -- meaning that having 3 custom content modules would work best.

Seems like an easy enough hack... but I've both spent hours on this Forum and time in the vBa php files without finding a solution.

Just gotta add in a "template to use for custom content #2" and "template to use for custom content #3" variable and interface in the vBa admin...

Brian? Anyone?
