Thank you for using the English version of the JTL-Guide!
We are currently still building up the English documentation; not all sections have been translated yet. Please note that there may still be German screenshots or links to German pages even on pages that have already been translated. This guide mostly addresses English speaking users in Germany.

Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.

Inserting grid layouts with the OnPage Composer

Your task/initial situation

You would like to divide a part of your page into responsive columns. For this purpose, you can use a so-called grid layout.

Inserting a grid layout

Log in to the back end of JTL-Shop and switch to the front end of JTL-Shop.
Open the page you want to edit and click the OnPage Composer icon at the top left of the page to open the OnPage Composer for that page.
Drag the Grid Layout portlet to the desired position in the OnPage Composer.

Inserting a portlet for a grid layout in the OnPage Composer

Click on the pencil icon to open the Edit Grid Layout window.
Under Panes, select how you want your page to be divided. You have the option of selecting various ready-made layouts. Alternatively, select User-defined and enter your own division.

Details on the layout: Each row consists of 12 column units. For example, if you enter 12, there is only one column, 6 + 6 means that there are 2 equal columns. 9 + 3 is a page division into three quarters and one quarter. This way you can divide your page into up to 12 columns. It is important to note that different layouts can be stored depending on the device, but each device must have the same number of columns. So, for example, if you want a layout with 2 columns of the same size (6 + 6) to be used on a desktop device, but the columns are displayed one below the other in the mobile view, select 12 + 12 (a full row of 12 column units each) as the layout there. You can see live in the preview how your current selection is displayed.

Save the settings. You will now see the columns of the newly inserted grid layout on your page.
Then add more portlets to the grid layout to fill it with the desired content. Please note that all contents of the 1st column will be displayed before the 2nd column in the mobile view. If necessary, it is therefore advisable to insert several grid layouts one after the other in order to structure the content correctly in the mobile view.
Follow the further steps to preview and publish an edited page at Editing pages with the OnPage Composer.

Border style/Border colour: Here you can specify whether the grid layout should have a border and what colour it should be.

Border rounding: Here you can specify whether the border should be rounded. You can specify the distance from the corner at which the rounding will start. You must specify a border style before you can do this. Enter a CSS value, e.g 5px, 0.5em, etc.
