With the advent of the new Page Layout functionality in the 4.2 editor, it seems that the way a page appears to the viewer can now be styled on three levels:
1. Theme (mostly not the content, but the decoration around it)
2. Page template (fill content into sections/columns, style output from macros, etc
3. Page Layout (somewhat like the older sections/colums)
For our usage (intranet), we need to control page styling rather tightly, as wel want a consistent experience and will have a number of non-technical people contributing content.
We are planning to achieve this by providing a set of useful templates to our users, where they just need to fill in the relevant content.But should this not be better achieved using Page Layouts?
Is there, for instance, a way to create a template that contains a page layout already?
Inversely, is it possible to limit the ability of the user to choose/change the layout a page is using?
Unfortunately, there seems very little documentation on advanced use of page layouts available (but granted, it is a rather new feature). Any insight on this topic would therefore be very appreciated.
