Custom Layout Section

I am already using a custom layout , having already created two additional colums within the main column.

Now I need to create another full width section, underneath the header {but not in it). It needs to be inside the container div but above the #left and #main divs.

I have this in fe_page.tpl

Code:

---

                <div id="container">

                        <?php echo $this->sections ['Top']; ?>

                        <?php if ($this->left): ?>

                        <div id="left">

---

Top is my new section.

The problem is I already have custom layout sections defined, inside the main column.

There does not seem to be a way to define another in another position.

Therefore my content is showing in 2 places.

Any ideas how I can overcome this?

Hi Gary,

First I'd remove these three lines from your fe_page.tpl file. This will prevent any duplicate content, and also it will render the "custom sections position" select box useless:

Code:

---

<?php echo $this->getCustomSections('before'); ?>
<?php echo $this->getCustomSections('main'); ?>
<?php echo $this->getCustomSections('after'); ?>

---

Once that's done you can insert the following code anywhere in the fe_page.tpl file as many times as you want for each of the custom layout sections you want to add:

Code:

---

<?php if ($this->sections['My Layout Section']): ?>
        <div id="my-layout-section">
                <?php echo $this->sections['My Layout Section']; ?>
        </div>
<?php endif; ?>
