    As far I untherstand the main logic of positioning the block structure, there are just three types of blocks. Right, Left and Center. Also in block administration there are just this three possibilities.

    If I add some new area for some block, I can not input by block administration this new area. So, how to implement new area for blocks?
    I have AutoTheme module, but my theme is not AT compatibile...

    Anny help or suggestion will be great!

    Just one explanation more. I want this new block area just becasuse my portal looks very blank in the middle of site... Some center blocks are too small for placing only one block content in one row...

    Thanks! icon_rolleyes

    Sheki,

    I am currently working on a pretty big project for my company for our 2005 Season. We just installed .75 and are getting familier with XTE quickly. It seems that the ultimate goal of XTE is to allow you to do this with zones and custom tags.

    From what I can tell the system is setup, it just doesnt work. However, to make you feel a little better, I have been creating just a bunch of custom blocks and being smart about where I put them. So, for example, on my home page I dont have any "maincontent". Just a bunch of blocks (I used lexbus' xStories for my news) that were modified using "wrappers/zones" in XTE.

    This is the best I have come up with so far. When it's done, XTE will really make PN the best all around CMS. (Well, not that it isnt that already!) :wink: :wink:
