Skins

How can I change the default skin to have a right/left column?

Scenario:
"I want put the menu on right/left side of the page in default skin. How I do that?"

Solution:
Just change a little line in your head.inc file.

Method:

1. Navigate to your Nucleus Admin area and click on Skin Files (v3.2+) and open the /default/ directory. For those without NP_SkinFiles installed, use your FTP client and go to /skins/default/.
2. Using NP_SkinFiles, open the head.inc file (v3.2+). If you do not have NP_SkinFiles installed, download head.inc to your desktop/other convenient location and open it in a text editor.
3. Find the following line in head.inc:
   

   <!-- site stylesheet (site colors and layout definitions) -->
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%skinfile(default_right.css)%>" />

   or

   <!-- site stylesheet (site colors and layout definitions) -->
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%skinfile(default_left.css)%>" />

4. If you would like your menu to be on the right, ensure you have default_right.css in the code. If you would like your menu to be on the left, ensure you have default_left.css in the code.
5. Save your changes. If you do not have NP_SkinFiles installed, save your file and reupload to /skins/default/ using your FTP client.
6. Done!
