function hook_layout_info

Provides a list of layouts that can be used within the Layout module.

This hook returns an array keyed by a unique identifier for a layout name.

The contents of this hook are merged with layout information provided by stand-alone layouts with their own .info files. Generally, the data returned here matches the keys used within layout .info files.

Return value

array: Each item in the returned array of info should have the following keys:

• title: The human-readable name of the layout.
• path: A local path within the providing module to files needed by this layout, such as associated CSS, the icon image, and template file.
• regions: A list of regions this layout provides, keyed by a machine name with a human label value.
• preview: Optional. An image representing the appearance of this layout. If left empty, "preview.png" will be used.
• stylesheets: An array of CSS file used whenever this layout is presented. If left empty, "one-column.css" will be used for all media types.
• template: The name of the template file (without the extension) used for this layout. All layouts should always be named with a "layout--" prefix, so that the default variables may be provided in template_preprocess_layout(). If left empty, "layout--[key]" will be used, with underscores converted to hyphens in the layout key.
• file: The name of a PHP file to be included prior to any rendering of this layout. This may be used to provide preprocess functions to prepare variables for the use of the layout.
