Could you please help me out in an layout definition?

Iam recently using a very detailed background picture that gives mé a nice effect if I create a site module using a dedicated modue position,.. like this:

and to define the related position to row option:

BUT, I also want to have the same effect/design, when I select a Menu item, like UMBAUTAGEBUCH/ARBEITEN 2021....
.... but in this case the Menu - block layout is positioned in the "component section".
This results in the fact that Articles and Menu block layout shares same settings...

Means if would change row option to "none or fluid" I would get rid of the grey background, but in the same time also the article would loose it. (but here I need the grey backgroung in order to make the content readable,..

Menu loading using row option (component set to "fix")

Article page also placed in component location:

If I change row option to "fluid/none" - Menu loading

but then the articles look like this:

So my question,..

  • is it possible to define "Menu" - block layout to be loaded in an differnt location then component section?

  • could I differantiate articles to be loaded with uni color background while Menu content is displaed with "none&fluid" row option?

thanks for your support

Maybe I got a bit closer to my solution, but still missing last piece,...

I know created a 2nd template copy to manage selection of component section to be displayed in a different style.

BUT what I miss to have a solution,... where to select "template style - standard (2) ... to be used for ALL ARTICLES as a correct template style.

Excample: In Menu Setup, "single article" selection ... I can already assign template style 2 to be displayed.

But if a menu setup like below is still referring to template style Standard (what is what) - as an overview of Articles within this category,.. I need to have template style 2 (with gray background) needed to display articles correctly.

Please support!

    This menu item ARBEITEN 2022 is using Standard template style, if you want the article page loads the layout of the Standard 2, you can config the sub-layout for it. I just updated for you:

      Thanks for your great support. This function was not clear to me at all.
      Topic solved!

        teddy-knight In Joomla, if you have a page such as Category Blog/ Featured articles / ... you can assign a template style for this menu item. When you click to open an article from this page, it will inherit the template style / layout of its own menu item. You can't assign a specific style/layout to this inner item.

        That's why we implement this sub-layout feature for T4 framework to resolve this issue. This way will offer ability to setup a specific layout for the sub page as you wish.

        I hope this makes sense 😉
