Setting Up Module Styles

Top Row1 Modules

This is an example of a module published to the top_row_1 row. This row contains 6 modules, read below for a full description.

Custom_1

This row also contains a custom_1 position which shows below the top_row1 positions. We do not recommend publishing other modules to this row when custom_1 is used. Custom_1 is meant specifically for the Image and Content Fader module only. There are several settings for this in the template configuration as well.

Be sure to check out the responsive layout page to see how the layout below is constructed on multiple screen sizes

All modules are fully collapsible

What exactly is a collapsing module? It's quite simple, whenever a module is not published to a postion that position does not appear on the frontend of the template. Consider the example below:

This particular row has 6 module positions available to publish to. Let's say you only want to publish to 4 of these positions. The template will automatically collapse the modules you do not want to use and adjust the size of the modules accordingly:

If no modules are published to the row the entire row itself will not show. The best feature of this is every module can be published to its own unique pages so the layout of your site can change on every page!

Infinite Layouts

Because there are so many module positions available in so many different areas, the number of layouts you can create are limitless! For example, if you would like to show your main content area on the right side of your site but still have a column of modules, simply published your modules to the right or right_inset positions or both. The same would be true for the opposite, if you want a column on the left simply publish modules to left or left_inset. Of course you can always choose to not have a column at all. Remember, any module not published to will automatically collapse and the remaining area will automatically adjust. There is no need to choose a pre-defined layout for your entire site, simply use the power of collpasing module positions and take advantage of the numerous amount of module positions to create any layout you can dream of! Be sure to checkout the layout of modules below.
