Hi is it possible to have a 3 column layout for Category menu’s and then revery to the normal layout when viewing an article?
IE:
Section View = Left + Content + Right
Article View = Content + Right1 + Rigtht 2
Appreciate your thoughts
Hi
This is possible. For this you can edit your layout as :
<blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”20″ fixheight=”1″>
<block name=”inset1″>left</block>
<block name=”right1″>right</block>
<block name=”right2″>right2</block>
</blocks>
Then when you required to display content for Section view, you can publish modules for left,content & right position.
And when you required article view then you can publish modules only for content,right1,right2 position.

Thanks amita,
Although how do I specify the width of the left and right columns?
So if the column width is now 20, can left be 6, middle 12, right 6?
I am just trying to get a standard, left, middle, right layout
Thanks Again
Hi
Here is some more information about column width , colwidth=”20″ parameter value sets a default column width for Left ,right1, right2 etc columns. When Left & right etc uses a column width of 20%, and main body will use the remaining area from the total width, so if you have say 3 columns, main body will be given 100-(20*3)=40%.
For your current requirement, you can change columnwidth as per this code :
<blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”6″ fixheight=”1″>
<block name=”inset1″>left</block>
<block name=”right1″ width=”12″>right</block>
<block name=”right2″>right2</block>
</blocks>
