I'm looking for a module or tool to do one-off page layouts.
I use panels and mini-panels for my content types but we repeatedly need to create custom layouts within the body a basic page.
I want to know if there is something that can easily (without coding) create columns and regions for one-off situations. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks in advance,
Tommy

Are you only trying to change
Are you only trying to change the layout of the body field?
Depending on how your panels are setup you might be able to use Display Suite. DS has a sub-module called Display Suite Extras which provides the ability to turn on a per-node layout. Turn that on then create some custom view modes and you can switch the layout to one of your "custom" layouts at any time via the node edit. https://www.drupal.org/node/1795298
Perhaps you could create a new content type and use DS with DS Extras so you're not fighting with panels or nesting too many layouts inside of other layouts. That's probably the cleanest approach if you can make that one work.
body field
Thanks for the reply Jeremy.
Yes. Just want to do some layouts within the body field. Will this DS extras submodule do that sort of thing? or is it just for per node exceptions?

You'd have to be using
You'd have to be using multiple fields to allow DS to provide a layout. Any layout happening within the body field would have to be done with HTML + CSS inserted into the field itself. That's probably not desirable.
That exactly what I wanted to

Thanks, as usual, for the good intel.
