>>Hello,
>> 
>>I'm still creating a document class for the quote guidelines of our
>>university and a belonging template. Both is nearly finished, but there is
>>one thing that still bothers me. The cover: There are very strong
>>requirements for the position of title, name etc. So far I made it with a
>>table in the template but I would like to create new LaTeX-commands in the
>>document class for putting every style (Name, Title etc.) at its specified
>>position on the page with a label (similar to the letter-class). That would
>>enable the user to create the cover without template setting a style for any
>>detail.

Here is a solution using xfig to perform the required placement
 - create an xfig layout of the cover page, with new command names where text 
should appear (\covertitle, \coverauthor, \coverdate, \coverinstitute,..),
 and special flags set; maybe you may re-use \title, \author,...
 - add the corresponding styles in the layout 
 - Insert->File->External Material

I guess the main problem is to create the cover before LyX activates \maketitle.
