Editing the default appearance of the main content areas

The main content section, in the middle of the top and bottom sections, is comprised of three main areas: left_slots, main_content, and right_slots

The tables

  • Template: main_template
    • Located: [site]/portal_skins/plone_templates (tabled skin) or [site]/portal_skins/plone_tableless (tableless skin, Plone v2.x only)
  • CSS: ploneColumns.css
    • Located: [site]/plone_skins/plone_styles (tabled skin) [site]/plone_skins/plone_tableless (tableless skin, Plone v2.x only)
Note: the plone_tableless skin is not used in Plone 3.x and later.

 

Additional Information:

The main_template, as its name implies, is the main control for the structure of the displayed pages. This is where all the sections of the page are defined. This main template pulls in information and structure from all the other templates.
