Hi, I’ve already made a couple of successful modifications to the “layout.xml” file for this template, but I’m now trying to add a new block of modules, and am not seeing any results.

Here’s what my “middle” section of the layout.xml file looks like now:


<blocks name="middle" colwidth="30" main-inner="2" wrap-inner="1" fixheight="1">
<block name="inset1">left</block>
<block name="inset2">right</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom">content-mass-bottom</block>
<block name="content-top">content-top</block>
<block name="content-mass-top">content-mass-top</block>
<block name="content-bottom" type="spotlight" special="content-bottom1" width="33">content-bottom1,content-bottom2,content-bottom3</block>
<block name="content-bottom-plus" type="spotlight" special="content-plus1" width="33">content-plus1,content-plus2,content-plus3</block>
</blocks>


It’s the last block, content-bottom-plus, that is not showing up on the page. I have a single custom html module published in the “content-plus1” position. I know my module assignment is not an issue, because if I change the module’s position to “content-bottom1” it shows up (not where I want it, but at least I can see it).

We want to have a second row of up to 3 modules exactly like the modules in the “content-bottom” block. Is this something I need to edit deeper in the template code?

The site is currently behind a development firewall, but I can PM you a login if you need to see it.

Thanks!

Hi wirecreative,

please try to remove the red marked text in your layout


<block name="content-bottom-plus" type="spotlight" special="content-plus1" width="33">content-plus1,content-plus2,content-plus3</block>


Cheers

Frank

Thanks, this ended up being handled in a support ticket. It required editing of the page>default.php file in the jat3 plugin. Pretty easy once you know where to look.
