Layout

[Olly]

Could someone please help!!

I need to split the Monthly special offers column in 2 (see www.test4less.co.uk ), but i can't think of the best & easiest way to do it.

I could do with completing this task by 5!! but on a friday afternoon the brain doesn't work aswell.

Cheers for your help

Is it not just "Location and Arrangement of section list" / "First row column count" under the sections "Layout" tab?


Take what I say with a pitch of salt tho' m8, I'm a newb!

You could add html code for a table into your fragment (use a text only fragment) and format each fragment any way you want.

Brochure fragments in 2 columns.
Use the following 2 templates in sequence

Save this as BrochureFragmentLEFT.html

<!-- LEFT-LeftImageAndTitle HTML begin -->
<tr>
 <td colspan="3" valign="top">
  <table border=0 width="100%">
   <tr>
    <td width="50%">
     NETQUOTEVAR:FRAGMENTANCHOR
     <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1">
      <tr>
        <td valign="top" align="left" width="30%">NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_IMAGE</td>
        <td valign="top">
          <h3>NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TITLE</h3>
          NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TEXT</td>
      </tr>
     </table>
    </td>
<!-- LEFT-LeftImageAndTitle HTML end -->

and the following as BrochureFragmentRIGHT.html

<!-- RIGHT-LeftImageAndTitle HTML begin -->
    <td width="50%">
     NETQUOTEVAR:FRAGMENTANCHOR
     <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1">
      <tr>
        <td valign="top" align="left" width="30%">NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_IMAGE</td>
        <td valign="top">
          <h3>NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TITLE</h3>
          NETQUOTEVAR:BROCHURE_TEXT</td>
      </tr>
     </table>
    </td>
   </tr>
  </table>
 </td>
</tr>
<!-- RIGHT-LeftImageAndTitle HTML end -->

Make sure you have an even number of such fragments as you need the last one to end the layout properly. You can mix in other single column layouts but only before / after complete pairs of these as above.

Note the code above is untested.

Do i not need to alter the Brochure page template before i can make any changes to the fragments?

Or would i just have to insert all the images and text (including links) onto the one fragment.

Cheers

No changes needed. You save the two new templates as above (in Site1) then for each existing fragment under General / Layout use the [Select] button to use one of the new templates.

You can also edit BrochureTemplate.ini (in Site1) and just under

[Templates]

add the lines

BrochureFragmentLEFT.html=2 Column layout Left
BrochureFragmentRIGHT.html=2 Column layout Right

and these items will now appear on the drop-down list of available Fragment layouts.

Thanks for your help, it worked a treat. Just need a few minor alterations now.


Thanks again
