Moving blocks around

Apologies for what might be another couple of stupid questions.

Start by going to:

http://www.faqshop.co.uk/system-center-configuration-manager.aspx

What I'd like to do is to have the:

System Center Configuration Manager 2007

text at the top of the page with the links to child page underneath it so for example:

System Center Configuration Manager 2007

Design and Planning
Installation and Configuration
Administration
Troubleshooting
Miscellaneous

Rather than the other way round like it is at present.

Second kind of related question if you goto:

http://www.faqshop.co.uk/blogs.aspx

Is there anyway of having the list appear on the far left of the page like I have at the moment (e.g. Cliff Hobbs, Test 1's Blog) BUT NOT also have them appear at the top of the page i.e. on this page the layout I want is:

Cliff Hobbs                                     Latest Blog Entries

Test 1's Blog

NOT

Cliff Hobbs                 Cliff Hobbs

Test 1's Blog              Test 1's Blog

                                 Latest Blog Entries

Hope this is clear.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Moving blocks around

 Hi Cliff,

In both of the linked pages, the links in the top center are shown because "Show Child Pages Site Map" is enabled in the page settings for the page (gear icon in top right takes you to page settigns for the current page). So if you don;t want that on the second page, then you can uncheck it in page settings.

As for the position of the child pages site map in relation to content on the page its because the ChildPageMenu control is physically above the ContentPlaceHolder for the center content in the layout.master file of your skin. It looks like this:

<portal:ChildPageMenu id="ChildPageMenu" runat="server" CssClass="txtnormal"></portal:ChildPageMenu>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="mainContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

To put the menu below the content just swap it like this:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="mainContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<portal:ChildPageMenu id="ChildPageMenu" runat="server" CssClass="txtnormal"></portal:ChildPageMenu>

Note however that will affect all pages where you use Child Pages Site Map.

I see you are using the styleshout-techmania skin, be sure and rename it so your customizations won't be lost during upgrades if a new version of styleshout-techmania comes with the upgrade.. To do this switch to a different skin temporarily, then rename the styleshout-techmania folder then switch back to it using the new name.

Hope it helps,

Joe
