Page Layouts

Page layouts are used to determine how each page is rendered via the following call:

$PAGE->set_pagelayout('layout');

These are defined in the base theme (and can be extended by custom themes):

Have a look in theme/base/config.php or ./bootstrapbase/config.php in new versions in the $THEME->layoutsarray for options.
