Left Content for (signin, sitemap, search, etc..)

I was looking through documentation, but can not find a way to do the following.

I have some simple html features displaying on the left column and I want them to also display on sign-in, sitemap, search, etc.

Is there an easy way to designate a specific HTML feature to display on those above pages or do I have to start customizing the master page?

If I use the below: AlwaysShowLeftColumn="true" is there a way to display feature content with a portal tag?

<portal:StyleSheetCombiner id="StyleSheetCombiner" runat="server" JQueryUIThemeName="base" UseIconsForAdminLinks="false" AlwaysShowLeftColumn="true" />

I am just looking for the most correct and efficient way to do this.

Re: Left Content for (signin, sitemap, search, etc..)

Hi,

Those are not CMS pages so there is no left and right content associated with them. If you have something in your layout.master file in the side columns that you want to always show, you can set AlwaysShowLeftColumn="true" and AlwaysShowRightColumn="true" on <portal:StylesheetCombiner in your layout.master file.

My advice is that security related pages like the login page should not have additional content on them for best practices and really any content other than graphics or ads that is duplicated on lots of pages is bad for SEO. Usability is also better when users are not distracted by other things than the task for which the page is intended ie login, registration, search or sitemap.

Best,

Joe
