In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a custom layout to use in Display Suite. We’ll take a look at the instructions in Display Suite’s ds.api.php file to find out how to provide our own custom layout. In this process, we’ll take a shortcut and copy a layout from Display Suite into my custom theme and modify it. In the next tutorial, we’ll look at the drush command ds-build which allows you to quickly scaffold a display suite custom layout in your module or theme.
