Basics - Adjusting the look

General overview

In the help documents for the creation of a template: https://www.cmsadhoc.net/private/007-theme-arborescence-fr.php, the image there gives an overview of the layout with the possible locations for the boxes. //changer l'adresse de la page

In adHoc, horizontal sections or columns are used to store boxes or the main content.

  • In each section, there are a maximum of 5 slots: the boxes displayed in a horizontal section will have the same width, evenly distributed.

    The number of horizontal top or bottom sections (up-rows and down-rows) depends on the template used and is not limited.

  • The main section provides the ability to display columns and main content.

    The number of rows in the columns of the main section is not limited.

Not all sections will be displayed at the same time: it depends on the template in use.

Sections or columns will not be displayed if they include no box.

Overview of the "no_skin" template  given away with the pack

The Header and Footer horizontal sections are displayed at each page view (they may be empty and, if so, will not be displayed). They are composed as follows:

→ Index page (Home page only), for the "no_skin" template:

  • the top sections named Hero Unit and Up Tab and a bottom section named Down Tab,

  • the main section including a Main column and a column on the right called SideBar0 (the number of rows in these columns is not limited)

→ Default page, for the "no_skin" template:

  • the main section, which will necessarily include (even if it is not specified), the page you will write, or another module page (contact, policy...). -see the documentations for these different modules-

  • two columns on the right named SideBar0 and SideBar1 (the number of rows in these two columns is not limited)

    NB: the SideBar0 column will therefore be displayed for all views (it can be empty and will not be displayed).
