Multiple column content areas
30 September 2009 at 11:31am Last edited: 30 September 2009 11:33am
I've been using SS for a month now and I'm getting the hang of it. On one site I've just finished I've created a sidebar for lower level pages to effectively create two columns, but with that in the Admin area I had 'Content' editor then editor below it for 'Sidebar'.
Question: I want a home page with 3 columns. I can see how to create 3 new columns but what do I do with existing 'Content' section? Can I someone remove that from a custom HomePage or do I HAVE to use existing area as one of my 3 columns and change caption in Admin area from 'Content' to say 'Column 1' ?

Excellent, thank you!
but just to be clear, if I add
// remove the content text area
$fields->removeFieldFromTab("Root.Content.Main","Content");Within my HomePage.php (that extends Page), I'm just removing the visibility of Content within context of the Home page Not from all other page types?

Yes thats right,
It goes both ways, for example if you use, on page.php
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content", new TextField("ExtraContent", "Extra Content"));
it would appear on everypage that extends page. For example the following page would have ExtraContent
class ExamplePage extends Page {
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields(); //This is the magic
return $fields;
}
}
