Three and two column with one template

Gregor · Post by **Gregor** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 7:40 am

Based on the Liquied theme from Matthew James Taylor http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perf ... id-layouts and help from some forum members, I managed to create a Three and Two column lay-out while using just one template. A lot of content was put in GCB.

The trick is done in this part of the template (don't know how to colorize inside the code)

<div id="pagewrapper" class="colmask {if $page_alias == "home"}threecol{else}leftmenu{/if}">

The alias of the first page is "home", otherwis it won't work

The template:

Code: Select all

{process_pagedata}

   {if isset($canonical)}<link rel="canonical" href="{$canonical}" />{elseif isset($content_obj)}<link rel="canonical" href="{$content_obj->GetURL()}" />{/if *}
   {if $canonical != ''}

      {* canonical =  http://www.xxx.nl/blog/99/munge_string_to_url_title/ *}
