Hi Mathieu et al!

You are really confusing me. Above you wanted a column on the left,

in favor of one side?
(like on all pages except "home" at the moment)
Right please! This means shelving the logo for now: so be it.
This navigation bar on "home" can include "Mission
statement" and "Submission guidelines".
I reorganized this now to meet the requirements. There are two new
pages with the "Mission statement" and the "Submission guidelines".
However, these pages now live in a special directory called "Home"
(could have any name though). The front page now has no more content
besides the logo - which I gave the "natural" size.
The situation is somewhat complicated now because of which I'll
try to
explain it.
+ frontpage
+ home/
+ mission-statement
+ submission-guidelines
+ research/
...
The `frontpage` now has a navigation portlet explicitly pointing to
`home`. By this trick it is possible that the navigation portlet for
the frontpage lists only the two pages but not the folders in
the top
level.
The drawback of this solution is that I need to exclude the `home`
directory from the navigation so it is neither visible in the
navigation bar - which is good - nor in the site map - which is bad.
The reports page has the same effect. There is nothing to
display in
the right column - because there is no navigation to display -
and
thus the column is completely left out.
Then we will have to come up with some categories for this
too, for example:
Conferences
Interviews
Reviews
Indeed. This will care for itself when we start to have reports.
that will automatically constrict the main column and make
it less
wide...
So your main point is to have the main column narrower? On
all pages
or only on those which have no right column?
If for all pages then this would be a CSS issue. If only for those
with the missing right column that needs to be solved differently.
Only with those without a right column, but will there be any
of those?
Normally not. There will always be a navigation portlet on the right
and it will contain things unless it is an empty top level folder.
I'm sorry but I don't think this gets us any further. Please
take a
screenshot and make corrections in the screenshot.
By having a navigation column to the right of the main column
everywhere the issue is solved: the main column automatically
reduces in size. Or am I missing something?
No that's correct. Please check the site now. AFAICS it meets
all your
wishes.
