Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Need help overriding the layout module

[Jonathan F. <jon...@fa...>]

Sorry about the confusion from my original post.  I don't have a CSS/Layout
issue as much as a question about the workings of the layout module and
configuring the transfers.tpl file.

Normally a theme's theme.tpl file looks like this:

===========================
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            {LEFT_COL_TOP}
            {LEFT_COL_MID}
            {LEFT_COL_BOTTOM}
        </td>
        <td>
            {TOP}
            {BODY}
            {BOTTOM}
        <td>
        </td>
            {RIGHT_COL_TOP}
            {RIGHT_COL_MID}
            {RIGHT_COL_BOTTOM}
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
==========================

and a corresponding transfers.tpl file that looks like this:

==========================
top:2:1
body:2:2
bottom:2:3
left_col_top:1:1
left_col_mid:1:2
left_col_bottom:1:3
right_col_top:3:1
right_col_mid:3:2
right_col_bottom:3:3
==========================

Trying to get away from the inherent left/middle/right structure of the
layout module I came across this note in the old
./mod/layout/docs/theme_creation.txt file
"Also, if nothing else, make SURE you have a BODY theme variable. phpWebSite
defaults blocks to that variable if it gets confused."

I created a theme.tpl file that only contained the {BODY} theme variable
assuming that all content would simply default to that theme variable.  I
plan on controlling the layout of all pages using CSS.

My question is, if my theme.tpl file only has the {BODY} tag, what should
the transfers.tpl file look like?

I tried:

body:2:2

body:1:1

and

body

But when using this new theme setup, I notice that some "elements" appear
twice.  There are two mini calendar boxes and two main menu boxes in the
output.  This is before any use of CSS, just the raw output from theme.tpl.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?  Does anyone know
what the transfers.tpl file should look like if the only theme variable in
use is the {BODY}?
