    Assigning different layouts to different menu items

    Posted 12 years 11 months ago
    • Hello,

      can't work out how to change the page layout and design for different menu items. It seemed to be easier in the earlier versions of Gantry but in the new one I cant work it out.

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks

    • you need to create new template styles and assign them to different menu-items.
      this has replaced the per-menu-item-technique.

      Overall it's easier because its a CORE JOOMLA feature now.

    • Hi Henning,

      thank you for the help. How do I create the different template designs in the first place and get them into my site to select for different menus?

      Thanks

    • Thanks Henning,

      but when I go to menu assignmnet in the back of Joomla, I can't get the copied template to appear as an option to choose.

      Does RT have a tutorial section around this theme. Can't seem to find anywhere which explains it.

      Thanks

    • you need to copy a template style (J 2.5) ... not the template itself ...
      Actually that is no special gantry feature ... it's a joomla core thing.
      You can assign the style in the templates-settings (assign) or in the menu-item ...
