About custom detail template view

[bluetoothbj]

Dear sir:
I made a simple two columns layout custom detail view template as tutorial -http://fabrikar.com/help/tutorials/details/3/30-3-1-details-view-template. But it just one column . Does someone know the problem?
Code as follow:

<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span4"><h2><?php echo $Scheme_Identifier; ?></h2>
</div>
<div class="span8">
<label>Dealer Name</label><?php echo $Dealer_Name; ?>
</div>
</div>

Web page effect as attached:
But actually I need two columns layout:
RR , Dealer Nmae:dealertest
Could someone help me?

By the way, How could I make the element label show automatically?

Many thanks in advance. It confused me many many days.

Dear Cheesegrits,Thanks for you help. I will send you the page and login user information by private meaasge.
And by the way.Could you find why some elements didn't listed in group array when I use the instruction code?

echo "<pre>";
print_r($this->groups);
echo "</pre>";

For example:$Contract_Number,$Cover_Type.And I couldn't display such elements in detail template.(But could displayed in list view)
Many thanks!

You don't need a custom template to display multiple columns, you can set columns in group settings.

If you don't see elements in the details: do you have element access settings?

Dear troester,
Yes,element access settings solved the problem of some elements couldn't display.
About column, I set columns in group settings,but it just one column in frontend.
And another question,How to set column label displayed when element data output?
Thanks!

I know the reason about column problem now. I diabaled the Legacy of Purity III template,and now column works in group layout setting.
Many thanks!

If you are running a Bootstrap3 template you must add the Bootstrap3 overrides
