Template

The first template we will create is the home page layout, this will not need a template name and select the ‘Inner Content layout’ width for sidebar 1, in example sidebar 1 is going to hold the 320 x 240 AdSense block,  and we want the other two sidebars will fit underneath, select the width and then save the page.

For the home template we choose the first three sidebars

now we need to include our Content Panes and Option Panels, these we select by putting a unique numerical value in the order number, here we are starting at 2 as we want the Dynamic Feature Gallery in position 1.

For our options we only need the Dynamic feature Gallery in position 1.

When you save this page the plugin will generate the code you need to make the home page, just right mouse over the code select all, copy and paste this into a text editor and save as home.php

Template Pages

To create a template page follow the process above selecting the assets to include, Sidebars, Content Panes and Option Panels.

If you wanted a page with sidebars 1 and 4 you would select the Inner Content Layout cms-templateInner14, once again save the template page code in a text file with a php extention.

You can use any combinations but you like in a template, not all options are inserted into pages like the Navigation Excludes these will be covered later.
