WCM 1700 Template Sidebar question

I am testing a new site using the WCM 1700 template.  The layout has a SideBarPanel defined out of the box, but I can't get the sidebar to show up.  Is there a trick to getting the Sidebar for secondary navigation to show up?

Thanks

WCM 1700 Side Bar

HI Dustin,

We use the side bar regularly in the 1700 template. Here are some examples: www.amcto.com www.ibaa.ca

Use CSS to create a side bar colum, and then place this code in it to get the iMIS sidebar menu and the community miin menu, as well as two custom conten areas you can edit (above & below). I have added extra commments to our code so it is easy for you to see what part is where

Hope this helps
James
