Joomla Template Tutorial - Part 5: Before put content, we must design the blocks where module or component placed. In this posting, we use 'classic' HTML (I mean, use <table> not <div>).
Our layout target like following picture:
Ok, open index.php within folder mytemplate. Enter following code:
; <?
// no direct access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="#FFFF00">
<tr>
<td colspan="3">Top</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">User 3</td>
<td>User 4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2">Left</td>
<td colspan="2">
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td>User 1</td>
<td>User 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="200">Component</td>
<td>Right</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">Footer</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
