Add new page layout option Magento
To meet your requirements you need to create an extension - without this it's not possible.
Module config file :
Create the module file config file at app/etc/modules/Amit_NewLayout.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <Amit_NewLayout> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> <depends> <Mage_Page /> </depends> </Amit_NewLayout> </modules> </config>
Define config.xml
Now define 1-column-version2.phtml
as the template for the new layout in app/code/local/Amit/NewLayout/etc/config.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <Amit_NewLayout> <version>0.0.1</version> </Amit_NewLayout> </modules> <global> <page> <layouts> <new_cms_layout module="page" translate="label"> <label>New Cms Layout</label> <template>page/1-column-version2.phtml</template> <layout_handle>lookbook</layout_handle> </new_cms_layout> </layouts> </page> </global> </config>
Now, you will be able to see this layout in the CMS page layout options.
