I am trying to activate and deactivate a column menu in bvadmin, How do I do this? I am in the columns section of BV admin and Do not see where to do this?
I know you cannot delete a system column as I have tried this.
Also How do you move the positioning of of Column menu. Is it done in the style sheet? I cant see where to do it in the stylesheet or if it needs to be done manually.
Thank you to anyone who can help,
Daniel

But not before I cloned the system column, because I wanted to put the cloned system column in in a div tag in the master and custom pages to be able control the positioning of it anywhere on the page from a style sheet. which I have done. Thank you Mitch. I am trying to read the manuals and do stuff on my own before coming to the forum, however not everything in the forum is covering my vast questions. with all that said, I do appreciate all your advice on this forum as it has helped me greatly.

I remember... I 'removed' column 3 from my site altogether (just made it really tiny, actually)... A line in the CSS - just shut down the space devoted to it to "0" and don't put anything into it. |

Mitch trying to do this, however I cannot see where in the style sheet. Is it in the SIDE MENU CONTENT block or SPECIFIC CONTENT block stylesheet code. I would love to know how to do this as it seems easier than what I did. Thank you Mitch, Daniel.

In the Painted Paper style sheet... My site is 900px wide (col 1, 218px + col 2, 652px = 870 plus margins) See col 3 width: 0px.
Nav column & Maincolumn is the page where the products sit. 700 px, leaves 200 px for the left nav column. Nav col need 175, the rest is for margins, etc.
Your style sheet may look a bit different, but it'll work about the same. I'm by no means an wxpert, I just needed to get this stuff done, so I futzd around and read a few CSS books.
/* Columns */
#homepagecolumn1
{
width:218px;/*changed from 175 to 218 (43) to increase page width */
float:left;
margin-left: 10px !important;
margin-left: 5px;
background-color:#DED8D8;/* ma changed background to grey*/
height:100%;
}
#homepagecolumn2
{
width:652px;/*changed from 390 to 218 (44) to increase page width */
float:left;
background-color:#DED8D8;/* ma changed background to grey*/
}
#homepagecolumn3
{
width: 0px;/*0 page width */
float:left;
background-color:#FFFFFF;/* col 3 not used*/
visibility:hidden;
}
#navcolumn
{
width:175px;
float:left;margin:0 10px 0 0;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}
#maincolumn
{
width:700px;/*changed to 700 (43) to increase page width */
float:left;margin:10px 10px 0 0;
background-color:#FFFFFF;/*changed background to white*/
