Change wide Module to have a Horizontal/Vertical option

[neyworg]

Why not convert Wide into a Horizontal or Vertical module.

add a drop down setting to make the choice. Solve having to upkeep two different modules.

Basically telling it to use the Horizontal or Vertical template. Get rid of the basic. Killing two birds with one stone. I mentioned this in #216

and we've seen your issue. You do have a good point and would surely take a look at it but as we're with few, things will take time as other things have to altered/fixed too.

I'm going to look into that.

I think the solution of this issue is the layout of this module. Check out the branch for it; currently, I'm only developing the basic Jem module, but I plan to expand the model to other modules as well.

See this issue with the new module model with layouts: #1803.
I think that if the JEM wide module is updated with layouts (horizontal -> default, and adding a vertical layout), it should resolve this issue.

You can see the layouts of JEM basic module in the layouts-in-modules branch.

Does it make sense to make a vertical version of a module which is declared as wide (=horizontal)?
Or you create one single module for all with dropdown menue to choose the different module styles (basic, wide, teaser, banner...)?

Uh! It might be a good idea: consolidate all JEM modules (except calendar) into a single module with layouts. This way the code would be easier to maintain and customize. The code in all modules is very similar.

For example, there will be to unify code in one module and move the all css files to media\mod_jem\css

Another thing is the migration of modules... The admin will need to redesign the JEM modules (from old to new). This should be discussed in a separate issue or forum post.
