I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but the conditions aren't working properly. (Notice I said what I am doing wrong. lol)

I am trying to allow my users the ability to choose between a left or right column in their journals using Andreas' modification.

I know I need to edit the journal_journalpage template.

This is what the template consists of after I have added both layouts that need to be controlled via the conditionals.

HTML Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Reptile Blogs - <if condition="$journalinfo[journalname]">$journalinfo[journalname]<else /><phrase 1="$journalinfo[journalist]">$vbphrase[xs_journal]</phrase></if></title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

<!-- Start Locked Status -->
<if condition="$journalinfo[status]==1">
<table bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4"><b>$vbphrase[this_journal_is_locked]</b></font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
<!-- End Locked Status -->

<table align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">

<!-- Start Blog Information Table -->
<table class="tborder" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" align="center" width="100%" style="border-bottom-width:0px">

I have tried all sorts of different variations of the conditionals displayed, but I can get it to detect which option I have chosen. Someone with more knowledge may be better inclined as to show me what I am doing wrong.

(I have commented both layouts within the code.)
