Introduction

3 Columns (4D f/x) offers 3 seperate content elements that are rendered based on a template. Header and subheader can either be rendered according to TS settings or directly included in the template.

This extension extends 2 Columns (4D f/x), i.e. you can switch seamlessly between booth extension and keep the content of left element and bodytext.

What does it do?

This extension offers 3 columns for a content element. In this revised version the admin can decide either to use tables or div-elements to render the content. For each solution 3 example layouts are provided.

Screenshots

For Examples checkout http://www.4many.net/fdfx_3cols.html . It will be published there.

Save and preview.

The height of the div section can be set with Column Height .

Adminstration

To install use the extension manager.

Configuration

To configure check for Template -> Constants Editor -> TX_FDFX3COLS_PI1.

If you decide to use a different marker for the height property of the the div-section you can set it

Example template for tables based rendering is EXT:fdfx_3cols/tpl.3column.html. If you want to use div based rendering select EXT:fdfx_3cols/tpl.3column.div.html. To adjust the css to your need either adjust CSS DEFAULT_STYLE or copy it to your style sheet and fix it there.

That's new in this Version

Version 2.1.0

  • Added capability for direct editing in preview
  • Added capability that header is either rendered using TS or template.

Howto

Render Header in TS

Add to your page setup:

tt_content.fdfx_3cols_pi1 {

10.stdWrap.dataWrap=<p class="csc-fdfx_3cols_pi1-header csc- fdfx_3cols_pi1-header-{field:layout}">|</p>

15.dataWrap = <p class="csc-fdfx_3cols_pi1-subheader csc- fdfx_3cols_pi1-subheader-{field:layout}">|</p>

}

to change the rendering of header (10) and subheader (15). Header and subheader will only be rendered if they are available.

Render Header in Template

Disable standard header/subheader rendering:tt_content.fdfx_3cols_pi1.10 >tt_content.fdfx_3cols_pi1.15 >

Add the marks ###HEADER### and ###SUBHEADER### to your template.

To-Do

If someone could write a detail manual this support would highly appreciated.
