    I am using Altitude for a currently locally developed site and I wanted to add to the widgetized front page layout. So, in the demo, front page sections 1, 3, 5 and 7 have image backgrounds. But, they don't display without any widgets.

    How do I make a widget section visible without any widgets? And, have a height of say 150px (for example).

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    The home page template uses a conditional statement to test whether widgets are active. If they are not active, it will not output any of the necessary HTML or functionality. A possible solution is to add text widgets to each area, but rather than adding text, you could add a space character. This will force the sections to show, and they will be empty. The space character is below.

     

    In regards to the height of 150px, I think the image sections are controlled by Javascript, so these sections will automatically be opened up to a specific height dependent upon the users screen resolution. Areas that don't have images would likely have to be adjusted via CSS.
