Nicolas Pastorino	Monday 12 July 2010 10:28:52 am Hi Romeo, After having defined your new zone layout in an override of zone.ini.append.php, you "just" need to write your custom zone template (copy and modify a standard eZ Flow one). Here is how the zone configuration could look : [General] AllowedTypes[]=BigPic_and_2columns [BigPic_and_2columns] ZoneTypeName=Big picture at the top, 2 columns below Zones[]=big_picture Zones[]=left_column Zones[]=right_column ZoneName[big_picture]=Big Picture ZoneName[left_column]=Left Column ZoneName[right_column]=Right Column ZoneThumbnail=BigPic_and_2columns.png Template=BigPic_and_2columns.tpl AvailableForClasses[]=frontpage Let us know, Cheers, -- Nicolas Pastorino Director Community - eZ Member of the Community Project Board eZ Publish Community on twitter: http://twitter.com/ezcommunity t : http://twitter.com/jeanvoye G+ : http://plus.tl/jeanvoye

Hi Romeo,

After having defined your new zone layout in an override of zone.ini.append.php, you "just" need to write your custom zone template (copy and modify a standard eZ Flow one). Here is how the zone configuration could look :

[General]
AllowedTypes[]=BigPic_and_2columns

[BigPic_and_2columns]
ZoneTypeName=Big picture at the top, 2 columns below
Zones[]=big_picture
Zones[]=left_column
Zones[]=right_column
ZoneName[big_picture]=Big Picture
ZoneName[left_column]=Left Column
ZoneName[right_column]=Right Column
ZoneThumbnail=BigPic_and_2columns.png
Template=BigPic_and_2columns.tpl
AvailableForClasses[]=frontpage

Let us know,
Cheers,
