Add multiple Sections to a Grid and add Settings / Styles to each Section.
Hi everyone,

The structure of the grid (in code at least) is:
```
foreach(var section in grid.sections) 
{
   ...

   foreach(var row in section.rows)
   {
      ...
   }
}
```
This structure is perfect for me but:

a) I can't see a way to add / remove Sections from a Grid using the Grid editor.

b) I can't see a way to add Sections Settings / Styles using the Grid editor.

Is it possible to do either of these things ?

Thanks.

Hi Pete and wecome to our :-)

If you have access to Umbraco TV, I think this video about settings and style in grid layout would help you in the right direction

https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/fundamentals/grid-layouts/settings-and-styles/

We have a hole video chapter about how to work with the grid layout. https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/fundamentals/grid-layouts/

Hope this helps,

/Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the info, it was useful.

Unfortunately, the grid layout doesn't work quite the way I'd hoped.

In the Grid Editor a Section is akin to a Column and there is no way to have two sections where one is above the other. (as shown in the image below)

This is a shame. It would be great if the Grid supported both models.

Cheers

Pete

I recently ran into the same problem as OP.

You would be surprised how many pre-made site templates actually assume a model where sections are stacked vertically instead of side by side.

It would be nice if the grid in Embrace would support this kind of thing.

I've the same problem. The grid use a "section" or "row" for each "section". So if you have a layout with page with more
it's a problem with the grid. I'm trying to customize the grid layout rended.
