Re: 5 content panes... do not get additional content pane options on pagelayout page

Hi Joe,

Thank god i've found this thread, ive spent hours trying to debug this exact problem.

Is there any chance you could put a workaround into the roadmap for this?

I use styleshout-refresh as my default skin so that i dont have to restyle all the admin pages.

I then use 3 skins,

1 x Homepage skin

1 x Level 1 skin

1 x Level 2 skin

The Level 2 skin is special and uses all 5 content panes, so i added alt1 and alt2 panes to the default skin styleshout-refresh, but i dont want these to show when a user goes to 'Edit this page' on homepage and Level 1 pages, only Level 2.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for this post.

Tim

Hi Tim,

You should not need the extra panels in your default skin. It uses the page skin on the PageLayout.aspx (at least in recent versions) for this very reason so that we can be sure the extra content panes are available if the page skin uses them.

Hope it helps,

Joe
