The Layouts panel in the Vermilion template administration interface provides several options for configuring the layout of the template. Each modular section of the template design offers six module positions by default.

Note: If no modules are published to a position, the entire area or row will not appear or collapse.

MainBody / Sidebar Layouts

The layouts for the mainbody area is slightly different from the other module layouts. The primary difference is that the mainbody is generally displayed along with up to 3 sidebars. This provides the ability for Vermilion template to effectively support a four-column layout.

Configure at Admin → Extensions → Template Manager → rt_vermilion, then go to Layouts tab and set the varying Mainbody/Sidebar layout possibilities.
