Hi to everyone.

Is there anyone who can tell me how to make an home page with a four column template, left column, right column and two central columns with teaser content.

Normal drupal sites has only one central column. I got frontpage and views modules (4.7) and built up a table with two column in the center (in main content div). How can I tell the theme to put some recent story in the first column and others in the second one?

Is there any other theme developed like that?

I also need to put in some images in the teasers. Any idea?

Thank you

This might help: Flexinode Module: Print flexinodes in multiple columns, pages. Give that a shot, changing $node_type to "story" or whatever you need.

Also 4 col layout in 4.6.

I think you're on the right track with the frontpage and views modules. Be sure to have a look at the PHP snippets at http://drupal.org/handbook/customization/php-snippets. You'll find useful snippets you can drop in your table to load the nodes you want.

As for images, img_assist module is really handy for adding them to nodes.

FWIW if you are using views you don't need frontpage too - views will do the same.

Take a look at the panels module:
http://drupal.org/project/panels
You can use panels to override your homepage too
Is was developed specifically for versatile layouts and will read views, blocks, full nodes, etc. Great tool.

If it's all teasers you want displayed in columns then this handbook page is likely closest to what you need:
