[CMS] Grid creation

[ndL]

let me explain what i am asking for.

i have created a grid, using a SECOND HEADER, SIDEBAR 240px and 2 colums 75/25. but it is not the thing what i want.

Could someone provide me a code of grid which is a bit different from what i typed above, but also it would be very easy to code and i dont know html language. i add a picture of the layout i want.

I actually played with this this morning. I got a layout like this in my layout manager:


However, that isn't anything like what I get in the Section I applied the layout to. Unfortunately, for some odd reason, the section is using vbcms_grid_15 is the layout, which has only 3 columns, instead of my custom flatten grid (which started out as 4 columns and still has 4 columns!).


So, I'm gonna write something up in the bug tracker or go see if it's already in there first.

could you post the code which appears when you choose "FLATTEN GRID" i need that code... i tried to make myself one, but i failed...

I just need the same as you did for your own!

It's in the bug report - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=34830 - however, it will do you no good if you read what the bug report is all about. (Unless it's a new install? I can't figure out when it works and when it doesn't.)

what you did Lynne is definetely what i need now to finish my cms and get it working as i want. could you provide the html flattened code and the settings if you need them when creating a new grid

edit: sorry for posting nonsense post, as it considered to be a bug, i posted the same second as you did

OK, I just added to my bug report. What seems to be happening is when you change the grid in the grid manager, it is changing the template in the MASTER STYLE but not in the child styles (at least, not on my upgraded board - it is on my 'new' board). So, you could take the grid code and paste it into the correct template if you get the template name from the page source (do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code). I *think* that will fix this issue temporarily until the really fix the main problem here.

doesnt work, i creat a new grid, it creats a new template and i paste this code there:
nothing changes

<div id="doc3" class="yui-tvb-r3">
   <div id="yui-main">
        <div id="hd" class="yui-b">
            <div>
                <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[1]</ul>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div id="hd2" class="yui-b">
            <div>
                <div>
                    <div class="yui-ge">
                        <div class="yui-u first yui-panel">
                            <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column2">$column[2]</ul>
                        </div>
                        <div class="yui-u yui-panel">
                            <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column3">$column[3]</ul>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="yui-b">
        <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column4">$column[4]</ul>
    </div>

</div>

it worked, but the exact grid layout (manager) does not show what how it should be.

[Lynne]

Put it in both places. Go and edit the grid and put in the correct code so that the MASTER STYLE changes (important for when they finally fix this!). Then, if the grid isn't getting changed in your style (as my bug report says it won't), then go edit the template and copy what is in the MASTER STYLE template into your style template.

I don't know what you are asking. If you are asking if you can make a grid like your image, then yes, I am sure you could. It just looks like two main divs each divided into more divs. Really not too complicated. But, I don't know of anyone who has posted one like that to share, so I think you will have to do it yourself.

I'll try using yours as template. Let you know tomorrow

I can confirm this fix as still working. I am also experiencing the same issues with my grid layout on a fresh install of the 4.0.2 Suite. Following these steps did resolve the issue, however, this needs to be repeated every time the grid is changed.
