Page templates

CMS -> Navigation -> Page structure

Templates can be used to define how individual pages should be structured in the frontend. Templates ensure a uniform design and structure across all pages. The Frontend1Column, Frontend2Columns and Frontend3Columns templates are available for pages on which articles are to be used. There are also other templates, such as FrontendModule or FrontendSchedule, which are reserved for different Converia modules and are not suitable for pages with articles.

Fig. 1: Selection of page templates

Regardless of which page template is selected, from a certain size of the browser window, usually in the mobile view, the page content is only displayed in a single column so that the content remains clear and easy to read (Fig. 2/3).

---

If a multi-column template has been selected, the information in the outer columns is moved to the header and can be accessed there via the respective buttons (e.g. for contact, menu and login).

Single-column view

If the Frontend1Column template is selected, page content is displayed across the entire width of the browser window.

In this view, neither the login box nor the entry buttons for active modules or the menu are available.

Two-column view

If the Frontend2Columns page template is selected, the page in the frontend has two columns. The left-hand column contains the menu, the entry buttons for active modules and the login box. The page content is displayed to the right.

Three-column view

If the Frontend3Columns page template is selected, the page in the frontend is divided into 3 columns. The left-hand column contains the menu, the entry buttons for active modules and the login box. The page content is displayed in the middle column. On the right-hand side, the contact box is displayed with the general conference contact.
