How to edit sidebar?

[tahbikat]

Thanks, I tried messing with the widgets and modules but they confuse me...

I've tried inputting html and php with and without tags but I get errors every time. Probably doing something wrong. ;-;

I mean is there a way I can just build my own sidebar, without using widgets and modules, and just disable the original sidebar? How do I put php into a .tpl file? :c

in the style.css file for your theme, do you have this:
#menu{
codehere
}

If you simply deleted the modules you don't want and styled this part, in v1.3.3, that should get rid of your bar.

Edit: *smacks head*
Yikes, sorry. Actually, if you just want non-user-specific links, you can definitely just replace the {$sidebar} thing you found in the template file with normal html links... since there's php variables there, there must be a way to display other variables... I just don't know that.
