I have to create a hompage template with 2 columns.

How good would it be to modify the article class with two select boxes (show frontpage column 1 / show frontpage column 2) and then filter by attributes the articles to show in every column of the template?

Perhaps other option would to create a section, but I don't really see how really sections work...

(I have to learn a lot about ez publish and the templates...because I feel to lost...)

Thanks in advance

Hi Andreas,

I would use new content class called "frontpage" where you can have those 2 columns, XML block attributes and title (Text string) attribute. Then you need to assign template to that class and check if column has content ( http://ez.no/community/forum/general/check_if_attribute_has_content_or_not ) then display it. Using CSS you can easily play with columns width.
