Custom Layouts?

Is there a good way to create (or modify) theme page layouts? I know there are 11 built in layouts, but I actually need one that is a flipped version of one of the pre-made layouts with an extra side column. I know you can export the layouts from the existing themes, but not sure how to create a new one to import.

    Hi Darrin, I don't think this is possible currently. I think the best way to tackle this is to use one of the existing layout names (which you are not using) and alter the styles in layout.css file to match your requirements.

    Maybe on of the Telligent guys has a better method but I don't know of one.

    Adam, thanks for the response. I've heard you can also create a custom home page and just direct TE to start there instead of the default.aspx page. However, not sure if one can do it simply and just use hooks to pull in the fragments like you can with PHP.

    I'll see if the Telligent folks might have a suggestion. I really appreciate your response!

    No Problem. Yeah I guess you could do that. I would be interested on what Telligents response is on this and how they suggest creating a custom "start" page if you hear from them.

    Hi all, are there any news on this? I am also looking for a way to add new page layouts to the standard 11. How can it be done?

    Thanks.

    See this doc: telligent.com/.../page-layout-enumeration.aspx. There is a Customizing Layouts section.

    Were you able to customize your layout?  We're trying to do something similar: add a "footer" like area near the bottom that spans the width of the content area.

    Hi Luis, there is already a footer area you can add widgets to using the theme.config file.

    Best,

    There is a bit of documentation for making the welcome page the default page for users here.

    Alternatively, you could create a custom page and add a widget to the default page that redirects to the custom page.
