SOLVED Gantry and Advanced Module Manager

I installed Panacea 1.5.1 locally to play with it.
I setup a sa2-mb6-sb4 layout. It works great so far. But then I installed "Advanced Module Manager" (AMM) and discovered an issue: I configured "sb" modules to disappear and "sa" modules to appear (using the exclude/include feature of AMM), if a certain component is active.
Unfortunately the following happens. All sb modules disappear and sa modules show up (as planned). But the sa modules are displayed on the sb side ("right"). The width of sb didn't change (is still 4 not 2).
This is probably a bug, right? - Last Edit: 14 years 4 months ago by Joomla_Dave.

Here is a small illustration:
m = menu bar
a = Module in sidebar a (left)
b - Module in sidebar b (right)
Modules in sidebar a and b are configured to appear when component X is displayed.
mmmmmmmmmmmm aaXXXXXXbbbb aaXXXXXXbbbb aaXXXXXXbbbb aaXXXXXXbbbb aaXXXXXXbbbb aaXXXXXXbbbb aaXXXXXXbbbb aaXXXXXXbbbb aaXXXXXXbbbb
But if you disable modules b for component Y, then you get the following (incorrect) result
mmmmmmmmmmmm YYYYYYYYaaaa YYYYYYYYaaaa YYYYYYYYaaaa YYYYYYYYaaaa YYYYYYYYaaaa YYYYYYYYaaaa YYYYYYYYaaaa YYYYYYYYaaaa YYYYYYYYaaaa
But it should be:mmmmmmmmmmmm aaYYYYYYYYYY aaYYYYYYYYYY aaYYYYYYYYYY aaYYYYYYYYYY aaYYYYYYYYYY aaYYYYYYYYYY aaYYYYYYYYYY aaYYYYYYYYYY aaYYYYYYYYYY
To be honest, it would be a tough decision to choose between AMM or the Gantry framework. But AMM is so important that I would rather drop the Gantry framework.
But I hope it is easy to reproduce and fix.

i dont use the advanced module manager myself, but i believe this is not a bug or conflict but just a matter of gantry settings.
you mentioned you have set the layout for mainbody when using "3 positions" to sa/mb/sb.
then you used the amm to unpublish the sidebar-b modules.
now, you are no longer using 3 positions for the mainbody, but 2 positions.
please check your template parameters > layouts > mainbody and check the slider setting for "2 positions".
i bet it is currently set to mb/sa. you can change it to sa/mb with the wanted column distribution and the modules in sidebar-a should appear on the left as desired.

Your answer explains it perfectly (and this is of course how the push/pull schemas work).
Excellent answer! Thanks.
