Hi

You can create a new template layout and assign to it the no-sidebar layout then assign this new template style to your video menu item

Thanks for your response Pavit! ..

I have also worked out another way to get what i need to work but it required extra module positions to be added. I have added screenshots of current and what i need, can you help with this?

Hi

It is the spotlight-2 block

Simply add it to the layout.php or move it

Example : the home layout ( /templates/ja_university_t3/tpls/home.php ) have it below the contentslider block

    <?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('mainnav') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('slideshow') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('department') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-1') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('home') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('contentslider') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-2') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-3') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('navhelper') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('footer') ?>

so if you want to change positions simply move the block just below the spotlight-1

    <?php $this->loadBlock('header') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('mainnav') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('slideshow') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('department') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-1') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-2') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('home') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('contentslider') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('spotlight-3') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('navhelper') ?>

    <?php $this->loadBlock('footer') ?>

Hope was clear enough

That works great thanks, how do i adjust the size of the blocks within spotlight 2 to be same as spotlight 1? Currently if i set to be 6 blocks wide it goes onto the next line

to change width for modules you should edit layout from backend and switch on the responsive layout tab then with your mouse change positions width

Sorry to be pain, that did work I don’t know how I missed how easy that was! .. Unfortunately it still doesn’t fix my issue 🙁 … as I already have the positions in spotlight 1,2 & 3 filled. Is it possible to duplicate any of the spotlight to gain a 4th? ..

Home page I am using Spotlight 1 with 4 even positions but on a different page I need 3 even positions on the same level as Spotlight 1, hope you can understand what im trying to do!

Hi Pavit,

As per my earlier post, i am trying to achieve an extra spotlight position (with 3 even spaced module positions), the template already has 3 spotlight positions, i need 4, directly under spotlight 1, the positions can be any number they don’t need to be consecutive, just so i can add 3 evenly spaced modules to it and so they are centred on the page.

On the home page i have spotlight 1 using 4 even positions, i need 3 even positions on the videos page shown in the same area above positions 5,6 & 7
