Sidebar Positions

Set-up:
  1. Find a suitable satellite image to display. Here are two links which will help you find such an image in the United States:

    http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/west/
    http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/

  2. In the Options page of the Satellite add-on, add the image link from step #1.
  3. Install one of the Sidebar Extra add-ons:

    Sidebar Extra One
    Sidebar Extra Two
    Sidebar Extra Three
    Sidebar Extra Four

  4. As an example if you're going to use the Sidebar Extra One add-on to display the Satellite image, you would edit the andy_sidebar_extra_one template and add the following code after the title:
    Code:
    <div class="sidebar_wrapper">
    <a href="{$xenOptions.satelliteSidebarImage}"><img src="{$xenOptions.satelliteSidebarImage}?{$serverTime}" width="100%"></a><a href="{$xenOptions.satelliteSidebarImage}">{xen:phrase satellite_large_view}</a>
    </div>
  5. In the Sidebar Positions Option page, set the position to display the Sidebar Extra block.
