Thanks for the reply Rick.

I've tried nesting layouts, but I encounter the same problem that Elif has been having, and the page header is repeated for every layout that is added. It also has a 'theme' drop-down selector for every layout as well.

I'm not sure why it looks different to your example, but something is going wrong. Perhaps your custom theme works around this problem, ot you're using a later release ? I'm using the 2.0 release version (with the 2.1 security JAR for LDAP support) if that's any help, but I'd rather not have to move everything to 2.1 until it's released, as this needs to be stable for deployment.

I also have the problem that the 'add portlet' functionality on the page edit, doesn't list any portlets. I don't tend to worry about this, as I am hand-editing the .psml files for a specific structure, but it does suggest that perhaps the 2.0 release was somewhat lacking. I tried the 2.1 dev version briefly a while back that fixed the 'add portlet' problem, but I wasn't aware of the nesting at that point, and so didn't attempt it. Again, I'm hesitant to spend development time looking at 2.1 to solve this, as I can't really take an unreleased hanging source base for production development.

Simply add a velocity 2 column layout and a velocity 1 column layout right
below it.  I have attached a small jpeg showing what this would look like.
Than add portlets to each layout.  That's it.

Hi,

I'm need to have a page where there are two columns each with a portlet
inside, and then another portlet beneath them that spans both columns.
For example:

## ##
## ##

#####
#####

I can't seem to find a straightforward way to achieve this, and looking
into the layout portlets and templates just gets me even more confused !

Is there any way to achieve this in a straightforward fashion ?

As a future enhancement, a really great layout addition would be
specifying the layout by writing a simple Velocity template that defines
the html (or a fragment thereof) of the page, with references to each
portlet-id where the portlet should be rendered, such as:

<table>
   <tr><td>${dp-1}</td><td>${dp-2}</td></tr>
   <tr><td>${dp-3}</td></tr>
</table>

This would allow our webdesign team to much more easily layout the pages
with no knowledge of jetspeed required. I'd write a layout to handle
this, but I can't get my head around how the layout portlet works.

Michael.
