Magento: layouts not appearing in CMS page dropdown

votes

I just installed the Bootstrap template into my Magento install. I uploaded the files, went to System > Design and added the design change. The frontend of my site now displays the theme, but when I go to CMS > Pages and select a page, the Layout dropdown still shows the default/default layouts, not the ones as defined in app/design/frontend/bootstrap/default/layout/page.xml

Any ideas why they are not appearing? Thanks!

It's because Page.xml doesn't define the CMS page layouts for that drop down menu. You can find more information on it here;

This Inchoo post is a good way to add your own CMS page layout types via a super simple module (one of the answers in the above link takes a similar approach);
