Plugin custom edit page layout Im making a plugin and have come to the stage where im making an edit form, for the plugin.

I would like the layout to look like this, with 2 columns and tabs above the left column.



My, question is what is the best way to achive this? currently im using extending _layouts/cp in my template, the page look like this. 



thanks for your help
It doesn't appear there is an easy way to do this by extending that template. If you take a look at the template templates/entries/_edit.html you will see how the create/edit entry screen creates this view. It is extending _layouts/cp, but it's overriding the main Twig block to do some custom stuff. You can include the tabs in your main block like so:

{% block main %}
&lt;div class="item" data-position="left" data-min-colspan="2" data-max-colspan="3"&gt;
    &lt;div id="fields" class="pane"&gt;
        {% include "_includes/tabs" %}
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
{% endblock %}
