    • Hi,

      Are there any complete tutorials to help document the creation of a template with Gantry, because I'm looking I can not find. I may have missed something... :cheesy:

      Thank you

    • Yes thank you, but I have traveled the tutorials and they are only snippet of information, nothing really full.

      For example, it is not indicate how the administration of gantry installed on its own template, I am compelled to copy / paste the template "Gantry" and to see it done.

      This is not to be disagreeable, but it's a shame I think, or so I missed a lot of information, which is possible too. :mrgreen:

    • You can start with a basic Gantry template by downloading the basic template and installing with or without the sample date.

      code.google.com/p/gantry-framework/downloads/list

      or you can install the Gantry framework to an existing install.

      (Also available on the link I provided)

    • I too, am very curious as to how I may develop a new template from the ground up. From PhotoShop to Gantry, to finished product.

      Where do the preset styles come from, the backgrounds etc.

      I would love to see an example of how a template was built from scratch using Gantry. The only things I have found were examples using an existing template.

    • I've been asked to do a presentation on this very subject for our Joomla! User Group and it's a pretty essential tutorial which is missing. There are some great tutorials about how to muck about with the framework and move module positions around etc, but nothing that takes you from, for example, a visual provided by a graphics designer, and translates that into designing an actual template!

      Will you record it for the masses? :cheesy:

    • Virya, could you point me to the tutorial about moving positions?
      I want to reorder the rows/positions and know there is a list of them in the templatedetails.xml file, but is that the only file that needs to be edited to rearrange the rows?

      Specifically I want put the breadcrumb directly below the navigation. Is it as simple as reordering the postiions? Keeping ABCDEF together, I assume.

    • I want to swap the drawer up to the second row, below the top position, so I can put a full-width banner ad in the drawer. Is it okay to put the "drawer" into the Top-Surround div and move the header out/down?

      <div id="rt-page-surround">
      <?php /** Begin Top Surround **/ if ($gantry->countModules('top') or $gantry->countModules('header')) : ?>
      <div id="rt-top-surround">
      <div id="rt-top-surround2">
      <?php /** Begin Top **/ if ($gantry->countModules('top')) : ?>
      <div id="rt-top"><div id="rt-top2"><div id="rt-top3">
      <div class="rt-container">
      <?php echo $gantry->displayModules('top','standard','alternate'); ?>
      <div class="clear"></div>
      </div>
      </div></div></div>
      <?php /** End Top **/ endif; ?>
      <?php /** Begin Header **/ if ($gantry->countModules('header')) : ?>
      <div id="rt-header"><div id="rt-header2">
      <div class="rt-container">
      <?php echo $gantry->displayModules('header','standard','alternate'); ?>
      <div class="clear"></div>
      </div>
      </div></div>
      <?php /** End Header **/ endif; ?>
      </div>
      <div id="top-shadow"></div>
      </div>
      <?php /** End Top Surround **/ endif; ?>
      <div id="rt-body-bg"<?php echo $hidden; ?>>
      <div class="rt-container">
      <?php /** Begin Drawer **/ if ($gantry->countModules('drawer')) : ?>
      <div id="rt-drawer">
      <div class="rt-container">
      <?php echo $gantry->displayModules('drawer','standard','standard'); ?>
      <div class="clear"></div>
      </div>
      </div>
      <?php /** End Drawer **/ endif; ?>
