OfflineI am not sure if you allow this discussion, but I just want to ask how you arrange the front page. I try to arrange mine with views and panels but did not implement it. Its mess-up a little bit. I hope you shere to me how you did this.
Front Page Arrangement
Posted on: Sun, 04/20/2008 - 22:20
I made a page-front.tpl.php file for my theme and removed the $content call. That way nothing gets promoted to the front page (but everything I have promoted is in the main rss feed of the site.)
In the main area where the $content was I created regions. The main block of text is one region (and all that text is in a block so I can edit it without messing with the theme.)
The bottom part are two regions, a front-left and front-right, where I made block views and set them there.
(Of course, I'm running Drupal 5 on this site.)
I've never used panels so I can't compare it to what I've done. (Drupal, I feel, suffers from Module Overload, so if I can do something in the theme itself and not a module, I try to do it that way.)
