Layout Block Issues (again)

Permalink
OK, so I know this has been said before many times, but I can't edit the a layout block through the editor. I know there's a way you can do it by directly editing the SQL, which is fine for me, but (obviously) won't work for my client.

What files handle the layout block, and is there any way I can edit them to force them to store the values in the SQL tables? I'm using a plugin that uses rows in a layout block as slides, and he's using each slide as a blog post, so this is definitely a site-breaking problem.

The site is here:http://mrboyle.com ...you can see examples on the work and blog pages.

Any help?
Thanks!

So, does anyone know what php file actually submits the SQL query from the edit layout form? If I can get to that I might can figure out how to force it to work.

I'm sorry to keep self-bumping this, but I'm already overdue for this project to be done, and my client isn't particularly happy :/

I've been combing through concrete's php files, and haven't managed to find it yet...Any help at all?

Worse case scenario, I may just make my own form that submits a query to change the value, but we'll see...

Is it your own theme development?

For the 2 example pages, to me it would be more practical to quickly edit the php for a couple of additional page types and avoid layouts altogether. Real page areas are usually much easier for clients to cope with than layouts.

As John said, Layout should be last resort. By making page types that clearly structure the layout would benefit your client.

In the future you could use a framework like bootstrap to make it even easier for you to structure your layout (fast).
