Layout Manager

Section under construction

The layout manager is used by designers to create any number of theme layouts which can be used throughout the wiki.

For best results, we recommend using the Firefox web browser when working in the layout manager.

Available Layouts

This panel appears on the left of the Layout Manager and shows the hierarchical list of all theme layouts defined in your wiki:

Selecting a layout will open it for editing in the tabs to the right.

Hierarchy

So, why do we have hierarchical layouts? Well, that's such an important feature of Theme Builder 3.x that it's got it's own page: Layout Hierarchy

If you haven't already done so, read that page otherwise you'll be freaked out when layouts are affected by settings in their parent layout!

Drag-and-Drop

You can restructure the layout hierarchy by simply dragging and dropping a layout on to another layout. Remember, that makes the layout inherit some or all settings from it's new parent and in doing so can make it look completely different.

Overview Tab

The Overview Tab allows you to view/edit the basic details such as layout name and description. It also shows the layout's ID which is useful as it's used for some macros and also the printable layout option on the Options Tab.

Layout Tab

The Layout Tab is used to select which panels are shown in the layout and also access the Panel Editor.

Menus Tab

The Menus Tab is used to set various options that affect how menus are displayed, including menu design, drop-shadows and tooltips.

Styles Tab

The [Styles tab] allows you to define custom CSS within the layout and also provides options for optionally removing key CSS resources should you want more control.

Options Tab

The Options Tab contains options for customising the breadcrumb trail, defining a printable layout and various other options which will affect the layout.

Permissions Tab

The Permissions Tab allows you to restrict access to a layout - who can choose it, edit it, etc.
