I've taken over maintenance of a multi-site Magento store & need to create a new layout to be used on certain products. I know I can select a custom layout in the design tab of the Product Information page in the back-end. What I don't quite understand is how I make a new layout to appear in the drop-down list here. I've looked at tutorials but nothing really seems to cover this. Am I right in thinking that I need to create something like newlayout.phtml in the theme's layout folder?

Any help, tips, advice, or tutorials would be gratefully received.

You can add a new layout handle to the design tab of products by creating a module with the following in it's config.xml

<global> <page> <layouts> <your_new_layout translate="label"> <label>Your New Layout</label> <template>if/you/need/a/custom/template.phtml</template> <layout_handle>your_new_layout </layout_handle> </your_new_layout> </layouts> </page> </global>

Then this will be shown in the admin section under product->design->page layout and also under Cms->Design->Layout section
