Hi wardhong,

You will need different names for each row of spotlights.

<block name=”bottom-spotlight1″ type=”spotlight” main-inner=”1″>user1,user2</block>
<block name=”bottom-spotlight2″ type=”spotlight” main-inner=”1″>user3,user4</block>
<block name=”bottom-spotlight3″ type=”spotlight” main-inner=”1″>user5,user6</block>
<block name=”bottom-spotlight4″ type=”spotlight” main-inner=”1″>user7,user8</block>

Also, you shouldn’t have have user1 – user8 repeating anywhere else. You can only have 1 of each anywhere in the layout.

Best regards,

Hi.. I should have asked more about what exactly you’re trying to do first. But now I’m beginning to realize that you want the spotlights just below the content area – where the content mass would go.

Like this:

Is this correct?

May I ask what kind of content are going into these spotlights? Articles from categories or just images?

In any case, you could use an extension to get a 2 column grid layout in the bottom content mass position.

For articles, I would use Gavick News Show Pro GK4

For Images, I would use Mini Ad Spot

They’re both free extensions.

Just a thought.

Can you do something like this:


<block name="content-mass-bottom" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user1,user2</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom2" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user3,user4</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom3" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user5,user6</block>
<block name="content-mass-bottom4" type="spotlight" main-inner="1">user7,user8</block>


The first one will work as is. I tried the others also using the same block name, but that didn’t work – you will have to use the different block names and then follow the instructions in this post for adding additional places:

Does that help any?
