Rubedo CMS : Designing content and user layouts

www.rubedo-project.org

� You can create custom content and user layouts.

� Thanks to these layouts, the detail view of your contents/users can be modified in the front-end display.

– For each of your Content types and User types, you can create your own custom layout by selecting the fields (title, summary, date, image…) you want to be displayed. To go any further, you can decide whether each element will be displayed or not for each device (large desktop, desktop, tablet or smartphone).

� Creating a new layout is based on the same principles as creating a new page or a new page mask :

1. You can add rows to define areas of your layout.

2. You can divide rows into columns.

3. You can add fields into columns.

� Properties on rows and columns let you define on which devices (desktop, tablet, smartphone) these elements will be displayed.

� Width of rows are in percentage for responsive web design, based on a 12-column grid (« span »). « Offset » corresponds to a space left blank.
