Page layout

The page layout determines how many columns a page displays in the frontend. By default, pages use a three-column layout with a right-hand sidebar. For pages that need more space in the main area, the right column can be hidden.

Content

  • Available layouts
  • Changing a page layout
  • Effect in the backend workspace
  • Applying layout to subpages

Available layouts

LayoutDescriptionWhen to use?
Standard (3 columns)Navigation menu, main content, right-hand sidebarStandard pages with additional sidebar content
Without right column (2 columns)Navigation menu, wider main content areaPages where the main content should use the full available width

Changing a page layout

  1. Open the page properties
    (Click the icon in the page tree → Edit)
  2. Switch to the Appearance tab
  3. Under Backend Layout, select Pages: no right column
    (or choose the default layout for a three-column view)
  4. Optional: Enable Apply to subpages to use the layout for all subpages
  5. Save your changes

Effect in the backend workspace

The layout also affects the Page module:

  • Three columns: Main content column and right sidebar column are visible
  • Two columns: Only the main content column is visible

Applying layout to subpages

The "Apply to subpages" option automatically applies the selected layout to all directly subordinate pages, making it especially useful for entire sections.

Hint

A subpage can override its layout individually at any time, even if a parent page defines a specific layout.
