How can I change the column layout in Rave to Main-Left-Right? There is no option to do this under Layout. Any guidance much appreciated.

You login backend > Extensions > template manager > ja_rave > profile > Layout settings > set Desktop Layout is Main-Left-Right

Many thanks for the quick reply but there is no option under Desktop Layout that I can see for Main-Left-Right. The only three-column option is Right-Main-Left, which is not what I want. I’m using J1.7 by the way.

Please go to Extensions > Template Manager > JA Rave and Layouts tab.

There you can click on Edit button on Default layout and copy all content. Then create a new layout and name it whatever you want. And paste default layout codes here.

So now you can change blocks and move them as you want for your new layout.

Many thanks but I have already tried this and experimented with moving blocks, and I still can’t find a way to move the left column to the right of the Main Content column. Further advice would be very much appreciated.

you can go to:
/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/page/default.php

There you can find all structure of your template. So you can move <!– CONTENT –> and above codes whereever you want. By this way you can able to change your template structure as you want. But this is not a override so this modification will be changed if you update your template.

I don’t know how to make this as override.

Thank you for your help, kobenes.
You replace this code of default layout

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="35">
<block name="inset1" width="18">left</block>
<block name="content-mass-top">slideshow</block>
<block name="right1">right</block>
</blocks>

with

<blocks name="middle" colwidth="35">
<block name="content-mass-top">slideshow</block>
<block name="right1">left</block>
<block name="right2">right</block>
</blocks>

You remember to set Desktop Layout is default

Many thanks khoand. Interesting that before I saw your solution I discovered that I could get exactly what I wanted with something slightly different, by changing this in the default layout:

<blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”35″>
<block name=”inset1″ width=”20″>left</block>
<block name=”content-mass-top”>slideshow</block>
<block name=”right1″>right</block>
</blocks>

To this:

<blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”35″>
<block name=”content-mass-top”>slideshow</block>
<block name=”inset2″ width=”20″>left</block>
<block name=”right1″>right</block>
</blocks>
