right now the way to have that wanted layout of your site isn't easy. There are some steps necassary.

Let me answer your other questions first:

Quote:
How you do that??

It's a opn thing

Quote:
I don't think this is possible with other CMS???

I don't know any other cms (nuke alike) which can do something like that

Quote:
Now I can have ANY layout!!!

yes and you can have a different layout for any module too

Quote:
How does the content come into play when you set up a bottom block?

Thats a mechanism we call "tpl"

Quote:
Does the "bottom block" always stay at bottom?

Yes, this can be done with every other module - not only forum if you mean that.
if you have setup it for a module - yes of course. To have it always you have to go these steps for all your modules. That may be a disadvantage but also an advantage: you can create different layouts for every module. Or you can add more boxes and and and....

Quote:
even when new article is added?

sure. Think about boxes or blocks for content. Real opn modules doesn't output its informations directly (PHP -> echo or print). Instead it pushed its information to a central opn output-engine (part of the opn core code). Thats why it is possible to have alomost any combination.

Thanks again for this awesome support!

you're welcome

Now a quik "how to" for the bottom block would be awesome...

Ok, here is a rough description of those steps. Once you have managed feel free to create a bit more detailed guide. We can (and will) publish it here on this site for other users.

ok, you need at leat two modules installed: "forum" and "big html box".
- Go to admin -> TPL Settings.
in the huge textarea inser following code:

 

- sorry i have to look for another bug here. see code in my next posting

below that is a select box wiht the label "for module". Select "forum" and click on "save"-button

- Go to admin -> admin centerbox an have a new box of type "big html box"
Select "forum" in the module select box (it's just before the textarea for content).
Set the content to "well i don't know what to write down right here now" and the headline to "just a test for klehman".

So thats it. It should be working now.

While doing this steps here on this site (with the almost latest dev-release which has many improvements and bugfixes to your rc1 version) we got on a new bug (it's fixed now). So perhaps you only will be able to reproduced all this steps successfully with the next version.

well, our Heinz (hhombergs - core developer) told you to rethink about it - perhaps you will call it emperor in future

You just have discovered less then 30% of the possibilities with opn. Stay tuned
