Great, looks almost exactly like what I would recommend. I would suggest that you remove the empty echo lines if you aren’t going to output anything.

Darren, This plugin will not facilitate that. The best way to handle that switch is via CSS floats.

Angie, thanks for taking the time to comment. You should check out my tutorial on body class. Body class is the simplest way to target CSS to parts of your site.

I need to create a site that has the sidebar styled differently on several different pages, mainly 3 different colors on the different inside pages (which is also different on the home page). If they are all called the same thing “sidebar” how do I style them differently without creating different sidebars? Or do I? I am new at this…obviously…HELP!

Nick,

Is it possible to use this plugin to move the labels to the left of the fields? I am above to start tinkering with the styles and float them left but was wondering if there was an easier or better way.

Thanks

never mind.
got it

add_action( ‘genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap’, ‘child_before_content_slider’ );
/** Loads a new sidebar before the content */
function child_before_content_slider() {

echo ”;
if ( is_home() )
dynamic_sidebar( ‘before-content-slider’ );
echo ”;
}

great tutorial. many thanks.
i am just hung up on how to add the “is_home() ” as mentioned in the other section: http://designsbynickthegeek.com/tutorials/conditional-page-content
this is what i have, so far:

add_action( ‘genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap’, ‘child_before_content_slider’ );
/** Loads a new sidebar before the content */
function child_before_content_slider() {

echo ”;
dynamic_sidebar( ‘before-content-slider’ );
echo ”;
}

At this time no, but I’ll look at Adorable to see about recommended CSS
