Tapestry provides three sidebar regions, along with some configuration options that allow you to manage the placement of those sidebars. Using these few simple options, you can create a variety of different page layouts.

There is one Outside Sidebar, so that's what we will call it, and there are two Inside Sidebars that we will call the Left Sidebar and Right Sidebar.

Using the Tapestry theme settings, you can choose to display the Outside Sidebar on either the left hand side of the page or the right hand side of the page. There's also an option for the placement of the Inside Sidebars. You can choose to place the page Content between the inside sidebars, to the left of the inside sidebars, or to the right of the inside sidebars. And you can independently configure the width of each sidebar.

By combining these sidebar configuration options with Drupal's region assignments and block visibility features, you can create numerous differing page layouts. This page shows examples of just some of the possibilities.

Two Column Layouts

You can produce a two-column layout using any of the three available sidebars.

Three Column Layouts

Three-column layouts can include both Inside Sidebars, or either one of them combined with the Outside Sidebar.

Four Column Layouts

Four-coulmn layouts will use all of the available sidebars, and you have a wide variety of layout possibilities.
