Create a new page template

Using Concrete / Help
1

Please can anyone help me create a new page template that has a 3 column grid by default, rather than having to use a full page and each time add a layout, or duplicating and existing page.
Ive tried reading the documentation and it talks about creating code for this which i cant do.
Stack don’t let me add a layout either so that’s no use.

Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

Try using ‘three-column’ code below as a new template (three_column.php).

t<?php
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
use Concrete\Core\Area\Area;
$view->inc('elements/header.php');
?>

<?php
$a = new Area('Page Header');
$a->enableGridContainer();
$a->display($c);
?>

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-4 col-sidebar">
            <?php
            $a = new Area('Left-Column');
            $a->display($c);
            ?>
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-4">
        <?php
            $a = new Area('Main');
            $a->display($c);
        ?>
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-4 col-sidebar">
        <?php
            $a = new Area('Right-Column');
            $a->display($c);
        ?>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<?php
$a = new Area('Page Footer');
$a->enableGridContainer();
$a->display($c);
?>
<?php
$view->inc('elements/footer.php');ype or paste code here

I’ll jump in since I’m here

It goes in [root]/concrete/themes/atomik/three_column.php

Be careful to trim some extra characters from the code (‘t’ a the beginning and everything after the final ‘;’)

Then head to Dashboard → Pages and Themes → Page Templates and ‘Add Template’.

Name : “Three Column”
Handle: “three_column”

Now that template should be available on the page under Page Settings → Design
