      Hej @arminunruh

      I've often thought about how cool it would be if you could link templates (i.e. prepared pages) with the predefined structure in the wordpress backend, so that when you want to create a new news article or project you only have to click once.

      Could something like this be easily integrated?

      Thanks and best regards,
      Fabi

            you mean you want input fields, then be able to link these input fields to positions and sizes in a grid

            and then be able to just create a new page, say you want to use this one template and just fill out these input fields

            or sth like that?

            akin to how you would create a wordpress page with https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ ( just in case you know it )

            with acf you still need to create the theme yourself, but you can just "plug - in" where the content should appear in the structure of your page

            well i think editorx.com provides this feature
            xD hope im not loosing too many lay theme users now

              what i could do is just:

              you activate an option in "lay options"
              "activate templates"

              then you have a new post type "templates"

              in there you can create template pages.
              then when u create a new page / news / project

              you can just choose from one of the templates. then you grid is replaced with the content of the template.

              then you can edit the content of your page.

              that'd be a pretty basic approach, do you think that would work for you?

                🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

                Yes, that would be exactly what I and my clients need.

                The thing is that we always have to create new pages / news / projects, but they should always be created in a prefabricated gridder layout (once created and defined by me), so that only the texts and images have to be changed by the client.

                How would your suggestion be adapted for multilingual pages?

                Thanks, Fabi

                  @fabiandraxl This is a good idea and would certainly be easier for when your client would like to make a new page themselves. My workaround just now is I just duplicate a page multiple times I've already designed and laid out so it's all ready for them to go and just need to edit the text, images, change the title and publish it.

                    Yep, I we do it the same way.

                    But this get's verry difficult and complicated as soon you have a page with mutiple languages ... the permalinks are allways fucked up ... :P

                      @fabiandraxl ah cool!

                      haha yeah, Polylang is a great plugin but I think unless you have the pro version it can be quite limited.

                          Polylang works great for us in the frontend, without any problems. But when creating and duplicating new entries there are problems in the backend.

                          I have created a short video to show you the problem and the feature request for template:

                          https://www.dropbox.com/s/42iibt6n975xv7u/Bildschirmvideo aufnehmen 2022-11-28 um 13.32.45.mov?dl=0

                          Please apologize for my bad english haha

                          Thank you, Fabi

                            "activate templates"

                            Where would I find this option? I can't find it in my v4.9.4 ...
