Need two-column template option
Dec 14 2007, 12:52 AM EST
Please make a two-column template available! (one nav bar + a wider content area) So, e.g. the Become a Member box, Page Toolbox and Other Wiki list might be movable to the left-hand pane or perhaps the banner area. I don't really need to hack html or css - just the chance to reconfigure the page structure in the way that some portals allow would be helpful

I imagine a fairly frequent need for some more text-heavy pages, in which the size of the central column will be an impediment. (I already ran into this case 2 weeks ago - I was helping a colleague set up a wiki for a group collaborating on a grant. b/c of the length of the document, the WetPaint wiki was discarded shortly after setup. The group will now most likely go to pbWiki or Wikispaces)

This is something we've been looking into recently. Keep an eye out for something like this in early '08. 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Thanks - I can't wait!

How about considering a New Page option that calls for a full page with no nav bar - only breadcrumbs at the top (depending on the parent pages you've navigated to before choosing to add the New Page) . You would also then need a floating toolbox.

Yes - I really like the new design. WetPaint did a nice job of laying out the horizontal menu options.

Where can this template be found? Is it at a site level or a page level?

In case no one has suggested this, it would be wonderful to have a few choices of page layout in a given template/style.

There is no more third column at all. The content area is everything to the right of the left-hand navigation area.
