No sidebar_content in about.php

Hi all.
I'm having troubles with About.php, did everything as the tutorial says, but only the main_content: appears in about.php, and not both main_content and sidebar_content.

Here is the about.php code, changed and used by me:

Code: Select all
<?php require_once( 'cms/cms.php' ); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
   <title>Aurelius | About Us</title>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
   
   <!-- Stylesheets -->
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reset.css" />
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css" />
   
   <!-- Scripts -->
   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
   <!--[if IE 6]>
   <script src="js/DD_belatedPNG_0.0.8a-min.js"></script>
   <script>
     /* EXAMPLE */
     DD_belatedPNG.fix('.button');
     
     /* string argument can be any CSS selector */
     /* .png_bg example is unnecessary */
     /* change it to what suits you! */
   </script>
   <![endif]-->
   
</head>

<body>

   <div id="wrapper" class="container_12 clearfix">

      <!-- Text Logo -->
      <h1 id="logo" class="grid_4">Aurelius</h1>

Hi and welcome to our forums :)

If you take a closer look at the code you are using, you'll find that the editable regions that are being defined for the main content as well as the sidebar, both have the same name.
Effectively, you are defining the main content twice, the second time with the contents of the sidebar.
Code: Select all
<!-- Column 1 / Content -->
      <cms:editable name='main_content' type='richtext'>
      <div class="grid_8">
      ....
      ....
<!-- Column 2 / Sidebar -->
      <cms:editable name='main_content' type='richtext'>
      <div class="grid_4">

Simply rename the second editable region to something else, visit the page as admin and the sidebar should appear -
Code: Select all
<!-- Column 2 / Sidebar -->
      <cms:editable name='sidebar_content' type='richtext'>
      <div class="grid_4">

Let us know if this helps.

Thank you, it works now!

What about the " CouchCMS Version 1.0.1 - Evaluation Copy (29 Days remaining)", is it free or no ?
