Drupal 7 Warning
The Multipurpose Page layout is recommended for most Web pages throughout your site.
Why?
- Mainly because it's flexible. You do not have to use all of the fields provided, but if you decide to add sidebars or blocks at a later time, the Multipurpose Page can accommodate this.
- It works well to break up content-heavy pages.
Let's take a tour of the "Multipurpose Page"
Multipurpose Pages come with three separate "Body" fields.
- Within these "blank boxes," you can place text, insert images, embed media, etc. Anything, really.
- Below each "Body," you can insert any number of blocks in a horizontal row. We call this section "Articles."
- These blocks can be regular blocks or super blocks.
- The beauty of blocks is that you can format them to be any size: full width, 3/4-width, 1/2-width, 2/3-, 1/3-, and 1/4-width. They can have titles (or not). Super blocks can even have titles in different colors.
- Next to each "Body" text, you can insert any number of sidebars. We call these "Asides."
- Asides are good for blocks of "Related Links," "More Information," "Contact Us," etc.
- You can put regular blocks or super blocks in this section.
Because of the several different ways you can format blocks and bodies of text, Multipurpose Pages can really be arranged to look however you like.
Here are some good examples of Multipurpose Pages:
