Creating Layouts

Creating Layouts

The list of layouts and the drag and drop layout editor is the heart of how EasyLayouts creates/manages layouts for your site.

When you view the list in the backend it will look something like this:

List of Layouts

For each entry it tells you:

• if the layout is published,
• what type it is (see the article Types of Layout for more explanation),
• any comment  you have added to the layout
• which Joomla component it relates to
• the joomla view the item pertains to (in combination with the component relates to the equivalent template override)
• any category restrictions (when there is a folder icon - you can hover your mouse to see the list of multiple assigned categories)
• if the layout is the default.  If you have multiple layouts (with no category restrictions) the published one marked as 'default' is the one that is used.
• Joomla access level (see the article Layout Options for information about a special setting for 'blocked access')
• the layout id
