Presentation of teasers in the left and right navigation column

Solution: The special teaser object differs from standard teaser primarily because of the meta_type 'ZMSCustom'. Using this fact a simple case distinction can be made in the teaser template and duplicate this as a right and left variant. The teaser templates are named pageelement_TeaserLeft and pageelement_TeaserRight. The call of these templates finally happens in the left resp. right page region (pageregionLeft and pageregionRight).

Teasers_ger.zip (2KB)

Comment: The zipped file Teasers.zip contains a Spec.Object definition specObj_teaserElementLeft.xml for the left teaser as well as a ZEXP with the DTML templates pageelement_TeaserLeft and pageelement_TeaserRight; the former renders all left teasers, the latter renders all standard teaser.
Hint: the SpecObj-configuration is optimized for ZMS2.8+ (contains CSS method).
