I am setting up my first drupal (6) site and so far I like the system.
I've now run into a problem however: to give the content more space I want to hide the right-sidebar (with the navigation menu etc.) on every page from a specific module (or also fine: for a specific node/view from the module)
The only way I've come up with is to add some CSS to the module CSS files, but this doesn't seem very clean to me since I would need to redo it on every update (also the module uses 5 CSS files for different views)
Is there a better way to do it?
To be clear: I don't want to just hide a block, I want to hide the whole sidebar
Hmmm. Is this a custom module or something commonly available? Some modules allow you to create custom tpl.php files (see the theming guide) for them. This might quickly solve your problem.
If you are theming a node, then it is significantly easier. You can theme a specific type of node by naming convention (again via .tpl.php files in your theme). You can check out how to do that here.
Definitely check out the theming guide, since you will probably want to create your own theme instead of hacking on one of the core themes (not recommended). Typically you can copy /themes/garland into /sites/all/themes/my_garland, switch your site's theme to that and then make whatever changes you need (otherwise you'll have to reapply changes every time you update core).
Finally, you can check for path arguments (which seemed weird to me at first) if you want to do things in PHP that are more complex (see the arg function). If this is your first Drupal site, you may also need to know how to include css programatically.
Good luck! Drupal is a fun and interesting product.
You can configure the block visibility for each individual block and path in your website (admin/build/block). Under 'Configure'/'Page specific visibility settings'/'Show block on specific pages' you can set the navigation menu block not to be displayed for some specific routes. If a sidebar has no blocks to display it will hide itself allowing more space for the content.
You could use the Context module, with it you can, among other things, set rules for each block/menu where and when i should be shown (or not). You could also do this the way Josep explained but with Context you get more options.
And as Josep said when there are no blocks active in the sidebar it should disappear automatically, if not check your page.tpl.php it should have something like this in it:
<?php if ($right): ?>
<div id="sidebar-right">
<div id="sidebar-right-inner"> <?php print $right; ?> </div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
So if there is nothing in the Right region it doesn't display the sidebar. Maybe you have to change the name of the region, depending how they are called in you template.
I believe you already got the answer or a way to fix your problem.
There is a simple way to fix your problem. Here's a link.

I've a weird issue in my Drupal 9 website where a couple of regions (subfeatures and footer) get rendered differently in different pages with no consistent behavior.
They are loaded via the theme's default page.html.twig and should render inside the page js-layout wrapper as in below screenshot
But in some pages, it gets rendered outside the wrapper like in the below screenshot
This is simple website with no overrides on the theme level for the regions so this is quite strange
Without knowing the theme, it is difficult to give an answer. (Which theme is used, which templates (which Twig file provides the theme) and so on...
But let me try to give you a starting point:
Check all twig files of your theme
If there is a multiple for page, like: page.html.twig & page--article.html.twig. Then check the HTML structure for it
Check the region's conditions
In the page-twig templates, check if the HTML closing tags depend on the region conditions. Is there a condition that the div sometimes closes earlier?
I hope this will help you.
I am using Plone 4.1.4 with Doormat and Diazo in an institute I work and the Footer has to be made manually by adding each column and item that links internally to items from main menu.
What I want is that this footer, which is the site map, to change automatically every-time some user create, edite or delete an item from the main menu (content folders).
When I got the job I noticed many of those links in footer are out of date, and as there are many users in their each sections of the institute that are allowed to change the structure, I know they won't update both folders and footer.
I searched the Internet for some product or tip but I cant' find anything that resolves that problem.
If your Diazo theme was created as a Python package using mr.bob or zopeskel, you probably already have z3c.jbot, which allows you to easily override templates, available. If so, you likely have a template_overrides or similar directory in the package. If so, just drop into it a file named plone.app.layout.viewlets.footer.pt with the contents:
<div i18n:domain="plone"
id="portal-footer">
<ul id="portal-doormat"
class="navTreeLevel0 visualNoMarker">
<tal:sitemap replace="structure context/##sitemap/createSiteMap" />
</ul>
</div>
Then style away!
Alternatively, you may replace the colophon by naming the file plone.app.layout.viewlets.colophon.pt.
If you aren't using a Python package for your theme (if the Diazo theme was created through-the-web) then you may use the portal_view_customizations tool in the ZMI to make the same template override.
You may wish to also customize the depth of the site map. That may be changed via the portal_properties tool, navtree_properties property sheet. Or, just use CSS to hide unwanted depth.
An alternative and much easier way to realize your demand, can be to use portlets instead of viewlets, in combination with the addons "Products.ContentWellPortlets" and "collective.portlet.sitemap":
1.) Hide the footer-viewlets via a GenericSetup-config like in this example:
http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/adi.simplestructure/trunk/adi/simplestructure/profiles/default/viewlets.xml
2.) Assign a sitemap-portlet in the footer-area via a GenericSetup-config, similar to this example:
http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/adi.simplestructure/trunk/adi/simplestructure/profiles/default/portlets.xml
Tip: First assign the sitemap-portlet via the Web-UI, then go to [SITE-URL]/portal_setup, search for "portlets", check its box and click the export-button on the bottom, to get the needed xml-file.
Typo3 provides option to add multiple images to a page content, but all the images are wrapped under some default <div> tags. I want these images to be wrapped under <ul> and <li> tags instead and giving my own custom CSS ids and classes to it.
There are not many resources on TYPO3 for me to approach this issue. Can TYPO3 allow to use custom tags for the page content elements?
UPDATE
From Jost's answer was able to get my images displayed, but how do I split the image details?
My each image will have title, alt-text, image-path and image-link. Now, using TypoScript how do I retrieve this, because each details has to go in separate tags.
Check the TypoScript object browser. There you will find the object tt_content, which contains the rendering definitions for content elements. The rendering definition for images is found at tt_content.image.20, for example
tt_content.image.20.imageStdWrap.dataWrap = <div class="csc-textpic-imagewrap" style="width:{register:totalwidth}px;"> | </div>
The default definitions given there are usually provided by the static TypoScript of CSS-styled-content. You can overwrite them in your own TS, but when updating to a newer TYPO3-version, the default template may change, which could result in additional wrappers.
Update
Most content rendering in TYPO3 is defined in the TypoScript object tt_content. You can browse all TS-objects that will be used on a page by selecting the "Template" module and the page in question, and then choose "TypoScript Object Browser" in the selectbox at the top of the window. To understand what that stuff means, knowledge of TypoScript is necessary (Tutorial, Reference).
You can add your own TypoScript, which may override existing settings. You can do that in the Template-module too, but usually this is done by creating a file containing the script somewhere in the fileadmin folder and including it from the Template module.
The above enables you to edit the markup of the page. (Additional) CSS is usually defined in external files, that are included by a PAGE object (see the reference about that).
This post is a bit older but I want to add the following:
If you want to understand how the different content elements are wrapped, you may have a look into the css_styled_content extension. I assume that you have included the "Static Template (from extension)" in your main Typoscript template.
You can find the setup.txt here:
typo3/sysext/css_styled_content/static/setup.txt
There you´ll find the line Jost mentioned in line 860 (TYPO3 version 6.1), for example. And of course a lot of other definitions, too.
But check to read the documentation and tutorials on typo3.org.

I am working on an Ubercart installation on a Drupal site we are producing. Everything is going smoothly, but I am now trying to setup the order page template (uc_order module), so that the frontend developers can style it up.
The page is the one you view when you go to user/[UID]/order/[ORDER-ID].
I understand how to use hooks, preprocess, theming and template functions within Drupal, but currently I cannot see a way of changing any of the markup on the "order panes" that make up the page. It goes without saying that I don't want to touch any of the module's code.
So, one of the pages is the 'Bill To' address pane:
<div class="order-pane pos-left">
<div class="order-pane-title">Bill to: </div>
Name<br>
Address<br>
Town<br>
Postcode<br>
</div>
Essentially I would like to put a class in the div, so that it looks like this:
<div class="order-pane pos-left bill-to">...</div>
<div class="order-pane pos-left ship-to">...</div>
<div class="order-pane pos-left payment">...</div>
<div class="order-pane pos-left comments">...</div>
...
I just cannot see a way of doing this.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Have you checked the latest version of UC? The release note states:
The biggest change, though, is that order invoice templates now use the theme system to allow customizations. Instead of altering the module files directly, it is now correct to override them in the theme, just like node and page templates.
...and if I am not mistaken (a few months have passed by since I worked with UC), the invoice IS the page displayed by the URL you provided.
If my memory failed me (I haven't a UC installation handy to verify myself), a possible workaround (admittedly far from elegant, but still allowing you not to change the module's code) would be to alter the HTML with jQuery once the page has been loaded.
A more hack-ish workaround would be to maintain your own page callback for that URL, and just alter the menu definition in the UC code [yes, it's still hacking the code, but in this case you just need to modify one line in the UC code, and can maintain your code in a separate module].
HTH,
Mac.
You can create youre own panes or a single pane for everything, look up hook_pane, or you can insert the classes using jquery.
Is there a module in Drupal that allows me to put link at the end of a page?
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_SDci0Pf3tzU/Sfm7vF_MSiI/AAAAAAAAEtY/VX3BXaMOfSM/s400/linksatend.jpg
I tried to use menu and put it as a block at the footer, but the menu items are arranged vertically, instead of horizontally.
Is there anyway to do it without ( preferably) touching the CSS and HTML?
changing the menu items from vertically to horizontally is a matter of 1 or 2 css rules. which is why i doubt that there is a module for this. if you would post a link to your site, or the html + css, i could help with the css.
Links at the end of the page can be controlled by a few different things.
First, check the Blocks administration and see if there is a content area for the footer. Maybe there is a block there that is controlling these links.
Next, depending on well the theme is built, check the configuration options under Admin > Site Building > Themes > Conigure > (Your theme). Many have options to change what links display in the footer.
Lastly, check the page.tpl.php. They could also be hard-coded in the template (which is bad) and edited from there.
In terms of answering your question about 'a module to alter links', you can see that since the links can be controlled from different places, a module just for this purpose would be pointless. The correct way is to set the appropriate options in template.php so it can be configured in your theme settings.
You might have some luck using the Nice Menus module - it's intended to create animated menus but if you give it a flat menu tree, it might be close enough to what you want. If that doesn't work, there's about 100 modules dealing with navigation.
Still, the best way would be to place the menu's block in the footer and modify the theme to flatten it with CSS.
Assuming you don't won't to touch the theme, maybe because you're using an unmodified contrib theme, you can use either of two approaches:
create the block by hand as a custom HTML block, which gives you full control over the contents. The main downside is that you'll have to maintain it by hand instead of using admin/build/menus
create a PHP block, either custom (boo !) or in your site-specific module (better), to generate a block with markup appropriate for the theme you're using, based on the actual primary links, which you obtain from menu_primary_links(). Downside it that you have to create a site module if you don't already have one, or that you'll have to enable the PHP filter if you create it as a custom block.
This being said, I think you'd still be better off modifying the theme if it's a custom one, or creating a sub-theme for the theme you're using if it's a contributed one. It will be less work and, this being a matter of appearance, falls rather in theme scope than in module scope.
