Two column layout: one with two sections and one with one section

[Kribensisis]

Description

Hi. I've asked the bot, and Discord. I've tried 20+ layouts. I must be missing something quite basic, but I can't make it work. I use settings.yml and services.yml. I don't use bookmarks.yml, I just define my bookmarks in services.

I want a two-column layout where the left column has two headings: Services and Tools. The right column just has Media.

Column 1 (title hidden):

• Services
  • Service 1
  • Service 2
  • Etc.
• Tools
  • Tool 1
  • Tool 2
  • Etc.

Column 2 (title hidden)

• Media
  • Media 1
  • Media 2

I'm not even going to post my current YAML since none of it works. In any of the 20+ layouts I've tried, it's either three columns (Services, Tools, and Media) or it's valid yaml that results in an empty page with only the widgets in the heading loading. I've used the bot's YAML verbatim and I've used alternates of my own.

I would love input. Because 100%, I am not going to figure this out myself. Thank you!

To achieve the two-column layout with the sections and services you've described, you can use the following configuration in your settings.yaml file:

layout:
  Column 1:
    style: column
    groups:
      - Services
      - Tools
  Column 2:
    style: column
    groups:
      - Media

In this configuration, Column 1 and Column 2 are just identifiers for your columns and can be named anything. The groups key under each column identifier lists the groups that should appear in that column. Since you want to hide the titles, you can add header: false to each group in your services.yaml file like so:

Services:
  header: false
  - Service 1:
      # Service 1 details
  - Service 2:
      # Service 2 details
  # ... other services

Tools:
  header: false
  - Tool 1:
      # Tool 1 details
  - Tool 2:
      # Tool 2 details
  # ... other tools

Media:
  header: false
  - Media 1:
      # Media 1 details
  - Media 2:
      # Media 2 details
  # ... other media

Make sure that the group names used in layout match exactly with those in services.yaml. Also, ensure that your YAML indentation is correct, as incorrect indentation can lead to parsing errors.

If you encounter any issues or the page doesn't render as expected, please check the container logs and browser console for any errors that might provide more insight into the problem.

Remember to validate your YAML using an online validator if you're unsure about the syntax. Here are a couple of validators you can use:

• https://codebeautify.org/yaml-validator
• https://jsonformatter.org/yaml-validator

If you continue to have issues, please provide the YAML you're using, and I can help you troubleshoot further.

That doesn't work. I've already tried it; it never worked, and results in a blank homepage with only the heading widgets.

I'm not going to paste my YAML since it's identical to that.

I'm getting the sense that either homepage can't do a column with two headings or the docs are wrong and Glime keeps repeating the docs. Or, Glime is just hallucinating.

I'm looking for a layout configuration, too.
This stupid bot keeps answering garbage.

It does. I'm hopeful that now that the bot has been removed, someone will know the answer to this.
