Layout Templates

Layout templates dictate where content and apps can be placed on a page. There are several default layout templates for organizing content on your pages:

If the default layouts don’t work for your site, you can create your own layout template by following the articles listed below:

Layout Templates specify a number of rows and columns for the page. The rows and columns dictate where apps (and fragments) can be placed on the page. Layout templates are written in FreeMarker. An example row’s HTML markup is shown below:

<div class="portlet-layout row">
        <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6 portlet-column portlet-column-first" 
        id="column-1">
                ${processor.processColumn("column-1", 
                "portlet-column-content portlet-column-content-first")}
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-8 col-sm-6 portlet-column portlet-column-last" 
        id="column-2">
                ${processor.processColumn("column-2", 
                "portlet-column-content portlet-column-content-last")}
        </div>
</div>

Columns use the Bootstrap grid system. Every row consists of twelve sections, so columns can range in size from 1 to 12. Sizes are indicated with the number that follows the col-[breakpoint] class prefix (e.g. col-md-6). These specify two things: the percentage-based width of the element and the media query breakpoint (xs, sm, md, or lg), which specifies when the element expands to 100% width. For example, col-md-6 indicates 6/12 width, or 50%. These classes can also be mixed to achieve more advanced layouts, as shown above. In the example, medium sized viewports display column-1 at 33.33% width and column-2 at 66.66% width, while both column-1 and column-2 are 50% width on small sized view ports.

The processor (${processor.processColumn()}) processes each column’s content, taking two arguments: the column’s id, and the classes portlet-column-content and portlet-column-content-[case] (if applicable), where [case] refers to the first, last, or only column in the row.
