Single Column Layout?

Reply Contact

Currently, there are 2-column and 3-column layouts ( example: MainLeft is 2 column layout).

How would I include a 1-column layout, so there would be only one column spanning the full width of content area?

I would like this '1-Column' layout to appear in the dropddown for content type when defining a region.

I was able to create a '1 Column Template' whose content will span the entire width of content area. I think this is good because it now allows the user to create content based on 3 column or 2 column or 1 column layouts.

The following steps need to be done to implement this:

Create a stylesheet file by the name of '1colMain.css' under the folder '~/controls/ content/styles' with the following style inside it:
#MainContent{
margin:0px;
float: left;
padding-top: 10px;
width: 770px;
}
Run the following script in SQL Server Management Studio for the dashCommerce database:

Insert into dashCommerce_Content_Template
( Name, Description, StyleSheet,
CreatedBy, CreatedOn, ModifiedBy, ModifiedOn)
Values
('1 Column Template (Main)', '1 Column Template',
'~/controls/content/styles/1colmain.css','Sunil', getdate(),
'Sunil', getdate())

declare @newTemplateId int
set @newTemplateId = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

Insert into dashCommerce_Content_Template_TemplateRegion_Map
(TemplateId, TemplateRegionId)
values (@newTemplateId, 3)
