I have made a few edits to the default_item.php file. Here is the final code I used.

you know when really you shouldn’t have asked…..:D:D:D

Yep, the designers put some code in the above file to fix the layout of the frontpage to their specific layout. I simply removed that code and place the image in the same div as the content.

JA often use these sorts of forced layouts to make life easy for users who struggle to do these kinds of things. It does make it easy for people who want to layout something in their own style though.

Actually, thinking about it we could have done things differently here. We could have used the template manager to hide the main content block completely on the frontpage only. We could then have put your little layout in a module in the same position.

Feel free to give that a go insetad. I have left the original default_item.php in the folder.

Once restored (take a backup of my work incase you prefer it that way) you can try the following.

Go into the template manager and make a copy of the profile you are using (profiles tab). In the copy select “Hide Main Content Block” and set it to hide.

The go to the global tab and in the page assignments you can select that profile to appear on the featured (used to be called frontpage) page only.

We then enable the content-mass-top position (I do not think it has been included in the xml file for the layout you are using bu that is a simple edit) and you can then put your content in a module in that position.
