Hi Mile,

It's worth noting, we're probably pretty soon going to implement some
changes to Page layouts, as discussed on this forum post:
https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=5360

Specifically, we're thinking of implementing Mike Kelly's "custom
layouts" scheme: http://mikekelly.myblog.arts.ac.uk/2012/01/31/new-
version-of-custom-layouts-in-mahara-workflow/

So you might want to hold off on doing much work on changes to the
layout code, until this change comes through. :)

That said, I was toying with the idea of making Layouts into another
plugin type, which would probably facilitate this change. Or at least,
we could maybe set up some kind of site-level config option for
specifying which column-sizes are available on the layout page.

Cheers,
Aaron

Title:
  Layout: suggest new 2 column with *much* larger right column

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  It would be great to have a new 2-column layout with a much larger
  right column.

  I find I'm using the existing 3-column with a much larger centre
  column for layouts that have a navigation block on the left.

  It looks neater and more compact than the simple "larger right column"
  but I could use the extra space of a "much larger column" for content
  such as tables. I'm using these for self-assessment and find I'm
  always running out of room.

  Is this a bite-sized improvement that might be achievable quickly?
