What a sad life I tend to lead lately. Add Form ?

Well, here it is a fine Friday night and I'm messing with boonex stuff instead of enjoying some kind of social something. Anyway...

 

So no big deal but it bothers me that a few core blocks are not managed through the page builder. Specifically add/edit forms for say Groups (and others).  I understand why the fields are ran down the page but when you stretch them out across the entire main content container, it looks to be a terrible use of screen space.

 

I've done many searches to see if I can find some suggestions on how to insert another block, even if it's hard coded and I can put whatever in there - but alas, no luck so far.  

I see in the twig module  $this->_oTemplate->pageCode($sTitle); so does mean it's calling the pagecode function in design.inc to look for a pageXhtml file that is defining the layout?  And if so, any idea which one it's calling? :)

 

I just want to have 2 columns on the edit page, even if there nothing in the 2nd column but a picture or something.

the Add/and Edit pages are actually in the Pages Builder, but labeled as XXX My. So for groups - go to the pages builder to Groups My page. the Add form (which is also used by the edit code) is actually in the Administration block. This block has multiple functions.

Hmmm.  I added another column and put up a temp simple html block with some sample text in it.  Cleared the cache, moved the admin block to either side, etc but it still shows as one block.

I even pulled the admin block off the page and refreshed everything and it still show as one big block.  That's why I thought maybe that wasn't the right block for the edit form. Groups page.  But I just tried it with the store module and it displays 2 columns.

This helps me by narrowing the playing field a bit to hunt down the why part. I must have broken something in the Groups module part.

do you have a test site? I ask because I run into an issue a lot where I make a change and it is not displaying, and after 50 attempts, I realize I was in the test site and made the changes, not in the production site.
