Hello,

I am planning to install PHPFusion soon. All the options and abilities all seem great, so a thanks to the developers. Every site I go to, however, that runs on this system has the same front-page layout. Is it possible to remove that layout and create your own layout (EX, the menu is only on top with a logo, no other menus, and it's a single column that branches into four columns). Are such things possible through the template changes, or does the front page need to look like that?

Thanks for your time!

No the front page can be changed as to column, menu, footer or logo position. PHP and CSS coding.

Fusion however only has left, center-upper, center-lower and right columns in the core code.

To have more columns you would have to edit core code. There are several posts on that.

So it is possible to just have one single column? Thanks for your time BTW, and sorry about the stupid question.

You can have any design you want.

The problem is placing content into those columns. You could do it manually.

Most people, however, want to control that in the adim panel or page.

            if (pdata == 1) { var psidetext = '".$locale['420']."'; }
            if (pdata == 2) { var psidetext = '".$locale['421']."'; }
            if (pdata == 3) { var psidetext = '".$locale['425']."'; }
            if (pdata == 4) { var psidetext = '".$locale['422']."'; }


Above is from admistration/panels.php. 1, 2, 3, 4 are the fours positions and locale 420, 421, 425, 420 are the names of the columns.

After looking this up I think I'll also look into how to make more columns. I already have an idea. ???

Well I edited the files for panels and added panel-side 5 and 6.

Image of admin and data base

administration/panels.php
administration/panel_editor.php
locale/English/admin/panels.php
themes/templates/panels.css
themes/templates/panel.php

So my database has 6 column positions with new names but is totally useless without a theme built for it.

I'll build one to test this when and if I get time. Will be fun. The css will be murder.

Added a fifth file.

Well, thanks for the help. If you're up for it, I can code the CSS if you wish (experienced (X)HTML/CSS coder).

I pmed davadude the files I used to change the core to multi column.

However I decided to put together a demo site to show this type of layout.

Now don't laugh this is not a finished product, " addon " or " infusion ".

It just shows the basic layout of multi column.

The demo site is http://multi.fusionfusion.net/ .

Recently, in another thread, I converted Gillette table based to Gillette tableless.

The demo is of the tableless version of Gillette.

What you see is upper-center and lower-center panels under navigation then the four columns below from left to right are LEFT, LEFTA, RIGHTA AND RIGHT.

RIGHT has a float right on it so if you go to, example forums, your back to three column.

Again this is just a basic beginning of this layout.

If your interested in this you had better be a php and css coder or ask someone who can do it then support it.

I can't support it because I really don't know what I did right or wrong.

All I really know is it validates.
