Quite simple to do and one of the powerful features of the JAT3 V2 system is the ability to do just what you want from the template manager. You can set different layouts to as many different pages as you wish

In the template manager click on the layouts tab. In the layouts managment menu click on the clone button on the layout nearest to the one you want for your homepage. Name it whatever you want and then edit tha layout as require.

Now we need to assign that layout to the homepage. Click on the Global tab and look at the Profile Override Settings. One of the boxes will have “Click To Add” in it. Click on that and select “Home” (or whatever your home item is called) in the left box. In the right box select your new profiles name.

Remember to save all your changes and clear your jat3 cache for this to work. In some cases you may also have to clear the cookies set by the template.

Hopefully the following part of the Wiki will explain it – http://wiki.joomlart.com/wiki/JA_T3_Framework_2/Guides#Middle_column_width

Below is an example of how to do it.

<block name="right" width="25">right1</block>


If you still struggle please feel free to PM me an admin logon and I will take a look. Make sure you include a link to this thread in your PM.

<blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”40″>
<block name=”right2″ >right</block>
</blocks>

if you want to change the middle part (which is the content) to be 40% width then

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="30">
<block name="right1" >left</block>
<block name="right2" >right</block>
</blocks>

hope this help
with that you can achieve 40% width of content, 30% width of left position , 30% width of right position
or


<block name="left1" >left</block>
<block name="right2" >right</block>
</blocks>

to achieve 30% width of left position , 40% width of content, 30% width of right position
