Layout

Design

You have the possibility of managing and using several designs in one template. With this attitude you can set the design to be used.

That is the actual template file, which Joomla! rendered. All PHP-files are in the folder /html/index/[design] published the himself be in the selection list.

Central-Stylesheets for the layout

The central stylesheets are fixed according to the displayed columns (#col1, #col2 and #col3) here. The already prefabricated basic stylesheets already cover all representation options. The files already get first of all presorted according to the file name in the selection lists.

The Layout_xyz.css(all browsers) and patch_xyz.css(customizations for the IE) are distinguished between. You learn increase to this in the YAML documentation.
All layout_xyz.css stylesheets in /css/[design]. The patch_xyz.css files to find in /css/[design]/patches.

Following a short description to the construction of the file names in JYAML.

Syntax: layout/patch_[description]_[columns to be announced].css

  • [layout/patch] = celebrations name
  • [description] = arbitrary name which serves as a short description. No _ (underlined) may be used.
  • [columns to be announced] = the numbers of col1-col3 hereby are meant. The order of the numbers is identical, however, should be chosen suitably for the orientation. For example #col1 is left and #col2 is right and #col3 appears in the middle, the name "132" is then recommendable.

Following a listing of the available central stylesheets:

#col1=off | #col2=off | #col3=on:
  • only "1col_3"
#col1=on  | #col2=off | #col3=on:
  • "2col_13" (default)
  • "2col_31" (SEO)
#col1=off | #col2=on | #col3=on:
  • "2col_32" (default)
  • "2col_23" (SEO)
#col1=on | #col2=on | #col3=on:
  • "3col_123"
  • "3col_132" (default)
  • "3col_213" (SEO)
  • "3col_231"
  • "3col_321"
  • "3col_312" (SEO)

The columns #col1 and #col2 are only active when loaded Modules in the the appropriate position. This means the number of columns will automatically counted, depends on the active Modules.
