That sounds like a very interesting approach. But I don't quite understand,
Eloi, what you mean by asking whether Pagemaster 'fully supports page
templates now'. (I don't use Article Manager any more because users
protested the copyright message.) The default Pagemaster page template
lumps everything together in a {CONTENT} tag, meaning it's up to Pagemaster
itself to lay out the page except for add-ons like date published etc.
Granted, the section templates (e.g., image_float_left.tpl) can lay out a
section pretty much any way {IMAGE} and {TEXT} can be arranged, but
ultimately Pagemaster just strings all those sections (each sitting in a
table) in a line down the page. It's not clear to me how one would put that
in a two-column layout without modifying the PageMaster code. Most of the
options I can think of for a series of section templates like the one you
suggest would make individual templates sensitive to the proper use of other
templates (e.g. one template starts a <div> and another finishes it).

The way I've done 2 or 3 column pages in pagemaster in the past is to
define a new section template which uses float:left in the class used
on the DIV. Set the width dependent on the number of columns you want.
A clear:both afterwards is sometimes useful or put the clear:both on
the other existing section templates which you've probably modified
anyway to remove tables. ;-)
eg.
.floaty {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
create a new section template called floaty.tpl
<div class="floaty>
<h3>{TITLE}</h3>
{CONTENT}
</div>
(or whatever you want in there.
If you want 3 columns, use 33%. If using margins/padding, watch for
IE's box model bugs.

The function of the page template is to lay out the sections, so if there's any tags you have to enclose the page in or non-section-specific information (like date published, category information, nav links, common javascript, etc.), that can all be specified here so you don't have to mess around with the various themes. >ultimately Pagemaster just strings all those sections (each sitting in a >table) in a line down the page.

That was fixed quite a while ago. The problem was that the 'Edit Page Info' link that linked to where you selected the template, category, title etc was in the title of the box and if you didn't want 'Pagemaster vx.x' in your box title you selected a default_empty boxstyle. The templates were changed to have the link inside the content area. Shaun aegis design - http://www.aegisdesign.co.uk |
