Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Hi. I've successfully used the suggested technique and created a building directory page for my client's site. I created each tenant entry in a blog post and they show on the directory page. In wp settings, i made the directory the posts front page. i've looked through the code and alahualpa settings and i need help with some things.

1 the two columns are not even; the right column is narrow. where can i control the width of the components of this dynamically built page?
2 the headings for each entry are hot; i'd like them to just be displayed. can i turn off the link characteristics?
3 i'd like to build a template for the tenant directory blog posts so it's easy to add more entries and to make all the entries consistent (i'm having difficulty lining everything up). it's not clear to me how to do that. is it possible?
4 each tenant post is categorized by its floor number. i want to show the floor category menu on the business directory page only and have the two column display of those businesses on the floor when the category is clicked. will the home.php file control that too?

here's the url: http://7pineplaza.com/wordpress/directory/

thank you so much for your help!

regards
mike

edit: for number 3, above, i'm creating posts with tables to keep things aligned. how can i build a template so my client can add a new tenant after i turn the solution over to her? i've address #4 with the inner sidebar holding the categories.

OSX 10.11.5 WP 4.x Atahualpa(all) Safari, Firefox, Chrome
the two columns are the same size when I look at them (Safari on a Mac)

hi. i have just one more problem that i don't know how to address: i used the two column solution to make the building directory. it looks very cool! each entry is a post (the rest of the site are pages) and i categorize them by floor.

i want to turn the site on and give it to the client so she can update the tenants as necessary.

i need to be able to order the posts, either alpha by title or by suite number. how can i do that, please?

Hi,

In Atahualpa 3.5.1, WordPress 3.0, I would like to use the same horizontally sequenced two-column method as Redbiker mentioned above:

http://perishablepress.com/press/200...ss-post-order/

But, can someone tell me exactly where to put the PHP/HTML code portion of the Perishable Press code?

I am assuming that you would create a custom page template by copying the index.php from the Atahualpa351 Theme folder. But, exactly where in this new custom page template.php would you insert the PHP portion of the Perishable Press code?

The CSS portion, I assume goes in the ATO> CSS/ HTML Inserts. Correct?

Many thanks!
