This is going to be very useful Dietmar. When Urs and I were discussing the original page-layout, prior to its defined status as it is now in Base theme and all the other themes, my argument, at the time, was about the naming of region-post-box, which is correctly named if you are using the Holy Grail (Querks Mode). But when using Holy Grail (Percent Mode) the region-post-box actually becomes region-pre-box.

I am now left wondering if this might be another argument for changing the name from 'region-post-box' to 'region-side-box'. Then it is not confusing when something is marked 'post', but actually appears as 'pre'.

Just a thought...smile

Dietmar,

Glad you agree with me. The region-pre and region-post are correct in that they may be side to side but at least pre does come first and post second...so I, and I am sure others too, can live with this arrangement. It was just the regions-post-box which I feel needs re-naming.

All this aside, I really like the blog layout...this is more familiar territory. One wonders if it could be used for courses too, not just blogs.

Cheers

Mary

Hi Patrick...attached is the HTML/CSS for the Blog Layout as a direct copy of the link you posted above.

It's in Moodle page-layout format apart from a minor alteration to Region-Post-Box which I have called Region-Side-Box, more for uniform clarity than anything, as these slight changes, when adopting Matt's Holy Grail set of grid-layouts, from col-right to col-left (post/pre) are becoming more confusing, or can if you are not familiar with the history of Moodle 2.0 page-layout.

Cheers

Mary

Does this mean the theme config option to reposition L & R block columns is gone in Moodle 2?
