    • Not sure what a module instance is.

      Can't find nay documentation which helps.

      Can someone point me in the right direction.

      Thanks

    • OK worked it out - I think!. You create a module and then bring it in to the module instance using the module id.

      Which means the only difference between a module position and an instance is that you can style the module, and use it in as many configurations you choose, through an instance, without having to go to module manager ?

      Am I correct? I suspect there is more to it!

    • You can "pull" the output of a joomla module into the gantry 5 layout without the need to publish it into a position in the assigment settings of the module itself ...

      You just need the id from a module in Module Manager: Modules.
      Module needs to be published ...

    • Thanks Henning,

      Support on a Sunday evening - I like it.

      Can the other templates be used with Gantry 5?

    • Think of Gantry5 as a separate thing ... what is nice about the module instance is that you can choose the chrome ...

    • So the other templates can be used?

      Not sure what chrome is, can you point me to some documentation?

      Thanks

    • you can install g4 templates and the g4 framework and also have g5 templates with the G5 framework.
      But you can't use g4 templates in the g5 framework.

      For module chromes check docs.joomla.org/Standard_Module_Chromes to get an idea ...
      Right now Callisto has only one chrome ... but that might change in the future.
