Structure of a page
The structure of a typical page will thus be something close to the following. We are using a shortened version of
main/template/default/layout/layout_2_col.tpl here, for the sake of documentation. layout_2_col means « layout for 2 colums page », and it is selected when we want to show things like the courses list, because on this screen we have two columns: the side menu and the list of courses.All normal HTML tag will appear as is. No need for any trick.
{% extends template ~ "/layout/main.tpl" %}
{% block body %}
{# Main content #}
{# Right column #}
<div class="span3 menu-column">
{# if user is not login show the login form #}
{% if _u.logged == 0 %}
{% include template ~ "/layout/login_form.tpl" %}
{% endif %}
{# User picture #}
{{ user_image_block }}
{{# User Profile links #}
{{ profile_block }}
</div>
<div class="span9 content-column">
{# Portal homepage #}
{% if home_page_block %}
<section id="homepage">
<div class="row">
<div class="span9">
{{ home_page_block }}
</div>
</div>
</section>
{% endif %}
{% include template ~ "/layout/page_body.tpl" %}
{% if content is not null %}
<section id="main_content">
{{ content }}
</section>
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
As you can see in the example, some « include » statements can be found. They get the indicated file and put its content right where you placed the call. This is practical to re-use other already-templated blocks.
