I have searched for this but i coudn't find it anywhere.
I use 1.5.0.5 and I like the new template. Except I would like to have the left and right column in every page. How can I achieve this? I tried looking to the .tpl files but I couldn't make anything of those.
Thnx in advance for answering.

Or else is there a FAQ which I can check out how to change the layout with all the modules?

simply enable the modules you want in the left and right on each page in the module edit.

I wish it was that simple. Your solution works for all the pages but not for the homepage

@Xsecrets: i think a good night sleep helped a lot. I cannot say it's really userfriendly but i am starting to figure it out

well it's a little bit complicated, but it has great flexibility and with flexibility comes complication unfortunately.

It should work if you set it properly.
layout: home
status: enabled
sort order: 1 (what ever

)
position: left
Next thing would be if you have categories or not ...

It is very simple.
Go to modules, edit category modules.
When inside the category modules, click add module.
Put the follow settings in this newly add module :
Layout- Home
Position-left column
Status- enable
sort order- 1
Save, done.

i am new to opencart too, hope it helps.
