I have downloaded your awesome Afterburner2 template. I'm trying to modify it to have in mainbody such positions : 1 (empty) |9|2 for example (rt-grid-1]rt-grid-9|rt-grid-2). I have looked for all the topics that exist on those Forums, Gantry GitHub, Support... and I can't figure out how to do it. Please help !
The solution which I have found would be to modify the Layout as explained on this page
http://www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/joomla/advanced
, but it won't be easy stuff as the positions are defined dynamically via the backoffice and the Template layout positions. Forcing a new EMPTY position by adding it directly in the layout page will interfere with the layout defined in the Template Manager>Layout tab with a structure positionned as 9|3 for example.
Then you'll have to find the correct combination for the different lines ie :
'sa1-mb8-sb3' => array('rt-push-1','rt-pull-8',''),
'sa3-mb8-sb1' => array('rt-push-3','rt-pull-8','rt-pull-1'),
but I'm sorry using the Forced position can't work (we are in the main body), and moreover, the positions with a size of 1 column can't be used. I could if I wanted to have for example the combo 2(EMPTY) | 8 | 2.
I think the only solution is the one I provided above.
the is a different was to get that. (you could use css).
But that's totally fine to add that layout you want (I would recommend to do it the way you did).
