Just curious why Gantry dropped the Navigation position?
I find it crippling to the header area.
Drawer -> for the occasional slide out position. news, updates. etc.
Top -for the top navigation area. ie login - contact - support - call us - etc.
header - logo and search
Navigation - main navigation.
There really needs to be 4 available header positions.
IMHO - The Navigation position should be available for the main navigation.
Does this have something to do with the way the navigation changes in responsive mode?
Thanks,
William - -- William

You can add a new row of module positions to the Gantry Framework and to your Gantry enabled template.
For details see:
www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/j...ing-module-positions
Thank you,

I agree about the missing navigation row.
I see that it can be added but then every time the template is upgraded, I have to remember to make the changes to the template again. If I understand the process correctly.
Just curious as to the reasoning it was removed?
Thanks! -- Steven

just quoting Andy Miller from the google group:

Re: [gantry-joomla-user] Gantry 4.0.1 Navigation position
it has been dropped from the default Gantry template because it's not needed. Module positions are defined per-template, so any template that has that position defined, will have it available. Also if you want you can add it back:

Thanks to everyone for the replies
I would love to see the navigation position added back
Here is how I use gantry:
Drawer - Great for any slideout info
Top - Great for any first level information, such as a banner add
Header - logo (on the left) Search & Small top menu (on the right)
Navigation - main navigation.
ShowCase -- Great for a page by page display of important information
Wih this setup I can use the header in a 2 column setup and the showcase can be as many as it needs. I keep the navigation position as one column so the menu has plenty of room.
I understand I can add the module position. The issue is when new gantry template versions are released. I then have to remember to reapply the changes.
Any chance this module position could be added back?
