Hi Jo
Sorry but I'm not quite sure of the technical term I need to use but I will try my best to get you to understand my requirement:
Under "edit page" of a master page we have three columns to choose frm to place our text. These three columns are in a "modulecontent" element which is all good. However, what I would like to do is to have another element separate from the three columns so the layout can look something like this: (The 'x' is content)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So I would like the introductory content first and then the choice of the left, centre and right columns.
How would I introduce (without hard coding the page) a new element in the template? Is this at all possible?
Thanks so much in advance
Cheers
Felicia
Place this in your layout.master file right before the divLeft placeholder for the skin you are using. After you do so, an ALT1 box will appear in the edit page file and you can place content that will span the page.
<asp:Panel ID="divAlt1" runat="server" CssClass="altcontent1"> <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="altContent1" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder> </asp:Panel>
You can also put this after the divRight section
<asp:Panel ID="divAlt2" runat="server" CssClass="altcontent2"> <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="altContent2" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder> </asp:Panel>
Now you can have content span the bottom as well.
Some skins already have this alt content built and while others don't.
