WARNING: USE ONLY WITH JAVASCRIPT! The backend of this plugin works only with browser with javascript enabled
This plugin allows to dynamically activate the widgets system on a WordPress page, creating complex layouts.
You can define new layout via the function <code>register_layout()</code> in the function.php file of your theme. 
The plugin define two sample defaults layouts that you can see in Screenshots section.
e.g.
<pre><code><?php
// <your_theme>/function.php
if ( function_exists('register_layout') ){
 register_layout(array(
 'name' => 'Name of Layout',
 'zones' => array( 'name of zone one', 'name of zone two', 'name of zone three' [, ...] ),
 'thumbnail' => 'thumbnail-of-layout.jpg', // with extension (jpg/gif/png)
 'template' => 'name-of-php-template-file' // without extension
 ));
}
?>
</code></pre>
The code of the new template plans to use a new property of the global object $post: $post-> layout
e.g.
<pre><code><?php 
$zones = $post->layout['zones'];
foreach ($zones as $zone){
 dynamic_sidebar($zones[0])
}
?>
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>
The php template file should be placed in the folder <code>layouts</code> of your theme folder (<code>/wp-content/themes/<your_theme>/layouts/<name-of-php-template-file>.php</code>) or in the plugin folder (<code>/wp-content/plugins/page-layout/layouts/<name-of-php-template-file>.php</code>) if you want the layout to be independent from the theme.
</li>
<li>
The thumbnail should be placed in the child folder of <code>layouts</code>: <code>layouts/thumb/<thumbnail-of-layout.jpg></code>.
</li>
<li>
If you want to include also a related css file separate from the theme installed you can create it in <code>/wp-content/plugins/page-layout/css/page-layout-general.css</code> or for each php template <code>/wp-content/plugins/page-layout/css/page-layout-<name-of-php-template-file>.css</code>.
</li>
