Multiple box sections on each page possible?

Recommended Posts

Is there any way at all to make use of more than one box section on a given page? I'm using a box section in my footer and now when I try to add another separate box section to the page template there is no way to designate which one should be used in their appropriate spots. Here are a few links to refer to - the first shows the type of box section i need in the page templates and the second news link will show what the footer boxes SHOULD be like on every page. Default Template Boxes Footer Template Boxes

Hey Jacob - On individual pages you're able to specify which box set should appear. For instance, after the main content box on page add/edit screens, you'll see a section titled "PlatformPro Box Section Options". In there you can specify which box set to use...

Yes I have set the box section for the "web-gis" page to the appropriate box set, yet there's no way for me to specify that the footer area uses a different box section than the page area - thus they both use whatever box set i'm specifying on the page level. Is there a way I can just directly set what the footer box section should be? It'd be nice if in the box section settings you could designate the box set for things like the footer just as you can for posts pages.

If I'm not mistaken this feature is planned for the next release.

Hi, Is there any update on this feature? This is a blocker with some of the designs we have in mind. I learned that another path would be to create a custom child section by copying/pasting the section.boxes.php, but that file is reasonably complicated and the guidance provided by PageLines on this is sparse. Does anyone have other suggestions? Thanks.
