I am trying to figure out the best way to acheive this, and therefore the best place to post this message. Could really be in RokSprocket, Gantry, or Diametric forums. Anyway, here is my issue.
At this link:
www.logochairs.com/j25cms/index.php/prod...canvas-chair-item-12
I am using RokSprocket headlines at the top/left of this page, and I want it to stretch about 80% across the entire page, leaving 20% for the custom HTML module that is on the right...which will ultimately be a button that will link to the full blog/list of the category of single items that are scrolling in the RokSprocket module to its left.
What I want to achieve here, is effectively a 10|2 setup for these two modules in this module row. The trouble is, I can't use 10|2 in this position row globally because I need the modules in this position/row to be more like 7|5 or 8|4 on all other pages and modules.
So any ideas on how I can get a 10|2 appearance for these specific modules in this position, but leaving the settings in gantry to 7|5 or 8|4? Do I need to create a duplicate module row? If so, how can I get it to show up on the "Style" tab of the template/gantry settings...or make the new row match the color/texture settings of the existing module row position?

Ok, so is this all I need to do (since this is in the showcase position, not a content top or bottom):
www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/j...ing-module-positions
This seems pretty straightforward if so.
Also, will this prohibit me from updating my template when new releases are available?

Is this gantry tutorial still accurate, using the Diametric template?
Following the tutorial listed above, I don't see this section of the templateDetails.xml file:
"Next scroll down to the "params" tag. This is where all the Gantry template params are defined including the module positions. Scroll down then past the line which says
1.<param name="layouts" type="gspacer" default="" description="" label=" " glabel="LAYOUTS" />
This is where we add our new position layout slider. We need to add the following xml block to make this appear in the Template Manager:
1.<param name="examplePosition" type="positions" default="6,6" label="Label" description="Description goes here">
2.<schemas>1,2,3,4,5,6</schemas>
3.<words>2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10</words>
4.</param>
name - name of position + Position
type - must always be "positions"
default - default layout for the "row module" any combination of 12 seperated by commas.
label - Label in Template Manager for this module.
description - description of what this area is used for."

So do I need to do anything in the templateDetails.xml file still? So far I added this:
<position>example-a</position>
<position>example-b</position>
<position>example-c</position>
<position>example-d</position>
<position>example-e</position>
<position>example-f</position>
Into the list of positions....

ok. so the template-options.xml looks totally different than what is described in this tutorial:
www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/j...ing-module-positions
Can you give me direction as to what needs to be added and where in the template-options.xml file?
I basically just want to duplicate the showcase row/positions...which by default looks like this in my current xml file.
<fields name="showcasepanel" type="columns" label="SHOWCASE_CHOOSER" description="SHOWCASE_CHOOSER_DESC">
<field name="backgroundcolor" type="colorchooser" default="#282423" position="left" label="BACKGROUND_COLOR" setinsession="true" setbysession="true" setincookie="true" setbycookie="true"/>
<field name="overlay" type="selectbox" default="dark" position="right" class="rokradios" label="OVERLAY" setinsession="true" setbysession="true" setincookie="true" setbycookie="true" setclassbytag="rt-showcaseblock">
<option value="light">LIGHT</option>
<option value="dark">DARK</option>
</field>
<field name="accentcolor" type="colorchooser" default="#EF915E" position="left" label="ACCENT_CHOOSER" setinsession="true" setbysession="true" setincookie="true" setbycookie="true"/>
<field name="accentoverlay" type="selectbox" default="dark" position="right" class="rokradios" label="ACCENT_OVERLAY" setinsession="true" setbysession="true" setincookie="true" setbycookie="true">
<option value="light">LIGHT</option>
<option value="dark">DARK</option>
</field>
<field name="pattern" type="selectbox" default="metal" position="left" class="rokradios" label="BG_PATTERN" setinsession="true" setbysession="true" setincookie="true" setbycookie="true" setbyurl="true" setclassbytag="rt-showcasepattern">

As long as I have my original files to revert back to...is it possible I'm going to mess up my site by trying to add this module row? I don't want to permanently screw anything up by trying this.
Is this, then, the only think I need to add to the template-options.xml file?
" <fields name="example" type="position" label="TimsCustom_POS">
<field name="layout" type="positions" default="3,3,3,3" label="">
<schemas>1,2,3,4,5,6</schemas>
<words>2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10</words>
</field>
<field name="showall" type="toggle" default="0" label="FORCE_POS"/>
<field name="showmax" type="showmax" default="6" label="POS_COUNT"/>
</fields>"
