Admin –> page layout
Each template needs a page layout. Therin you can switch basic parameters. (One and the same page layout can be connected to more than one template).
Admin –> templates
Please generate a little little testpage, fill in only into the main block e.g.
<div class="box1"> <div class="box2"> <p style="list-style:none;margin-left:20px;margin-top:50px;"> {NAV_LIST_UL:F}</p> </div> <div class="box3"> <p>My Content</p> {CONTENT} </div> </div>
and add into your frontend.css (or your own on, created in template/inc_css/* ) → Admin → css file:
.box1{ color:black; background:gray; border:1px solid black;} .box2{ margin:0; padding:10px; float:left; width:200px;} .box3{ margin-left:215px; margin-right:40px; padding:10px; background:silver;}
