Left Container

leftcolumn2

Each left box container includes info about the container title, ID and Sequence number to identify the Layout Manager containers.

For example, please see the following container info below:

LangCommonCategories

ID #29

Seq #02

Note:

LangCommonCategories: The caption title which uses a language value; LangCommonCategories by default.

ID #29: The ID of the container in the database which is an autonumber.

Seq #02: The sequence number of the container. You can edit this value from the edit page of the container to change the sequence of each container box in your Home Page. In this example, it is ordered as the second box in the left column.

Below is a preview of the Left Container that is set to “Yes.”

And here is a preview of the Left Container that is set to “No.” If set to “No,” the body column will stretch and fill the hidden left column space.

We have further enhanced VPCart 8.00 by adding a new field called “Share with Mobile” in each column. You can choose to share the same column section for both desktop and mobile layouts by selecting “Yes.”

If you only want to show a column section in desktop layout, select “No.”

If a column is shared for both desktop and mobile layouts, you will see a two-light status:
