    I have a template with three columns...left side is navigation, center is content, right is changing from page to page.

    The basic xhtml/css page works fine.

    I’ve replaced the static text blocks with TVs, nested in the same divs as the static text they replace. Same thing with the headers at the top of the text blocks...the image urls in the css were replaced with RichText editable TVs that let me pull in the image that way. The center column is [*#WideBanner*] for the header and [*#content*] for the text, the right column is Newslisting plus [*#rightbanner1*] and [*#rightbanner2*] for the headers and [*#righttext*] for a text block at the bottom of the page.
    At first, none of the TVs would display in the browser. But, after putting a display:block definition in the css for the center, the [*content*] now displays. Unfortunately, that solution didn’t work for the right column.

    If you go to the page ( http://www.ideabankpreview.com/cahe ) you’ll see only the newslisting snippet output is appearing in the right column. None of the TV content (two headers and a text block.)

    This is a redeployment of a site that was built in a JSP application, and the original site is at http://www.cn-ahec.org if you want to take a look at what I’m replicating.

    Can anyone see a reason why the TVs aren’t displaying? All of them have content...if I click on the RTE button when logged in, the headers and/or text is in the RTE editing area, so I know the content is being written to the db properly.

    This is pretty desperate...I’m trying to show how flexible and quick it is to redeploy sites with MODx. Now, I run into this. Sheesh.

    Thanks for any help anyone can offer...and if it turns out I’ve just overlooked some boneheaded thing, I apologize.

    • When you created the TV, did you check at the bottom to give your templates access to the TV?

        can we make it we can check those great TV’s on the otherside too ?? (Meaning per theme) Would be such a productivity gain.. Especially when you’re adding 1 theme and want to use several TV. It take a long time to get it all finished..

        (or shall I submit this to the official improvement requests?? )
        • Great idea. Put it up on the bug tracker as a feature request!
