CRASH - 12-column-layout after latest Gantry update!!!!
Gantry Site from 4.1.4 -> 4.1.5
Gantry Lib from 4.1.4 -> 4.1.5
The site switch to an crashed old layout look backwards.
Don´t know to fix it.
??????
......
30 minutes later:
I changed the files in the the root dir of the server to an older gantry from nov 12.
Now its okay, but its no the the best solution!
What will happen after the next Gantry update?
Urghhh!

I can't really think that this update changed something to the feature.
I suggest to upload a copy of that site to a protected subdomain so we can see what is going on.

This is awesome, however, how can I center the template after using mywidth on maelstrom template joomla 2.5. My website is
www.niodin.com
and the entire site renders on the left. Any suggestions?
I'm testing it on the old joomla1.5 site before using it on the upgraded 2.5 joomla site. I have both codes for testing 1.5 and for live site 2.5.
Dedicated Server
Linux / Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Maelstrom J1.5 (test site) Joomla 1.5 Gantry 3.1.20
Maelstrom J1.6 (live site) Joomla 2.5 Gantry 4.1.8

Hello,
Here is an update for J2.5. I've tested it on Joomla 2.5.3/4 with Ionosphere and Reflex. Special thanks go's out to Henning and David, without them this update would have never been possible.
Release Notes:
- Removes some template specific code found in earlier versions
- Removes references to $bottom that caused issues in Joomla 2.5+
If you need help with installation/configuration take a look at David's post:

Download the attached zip file. Unzip it and then upload the file - mywidth.php - to your features directory in the template. For most people this will be via ftp to /public_html/your.domain/templates/rt_tachyon_j16/features
Now open the /templates/rt_tachyon_j16/template-options.xml file and look for the code at line 117.......and insert this code - <field name="dyngrid" default="60" type="text" class="text-short" label="mywidth"/> - so the file should now look like this...<fieldset name="features" label="FEATURES"> <field name="viewswitcher-priority" type="hidden" default="1"/> <field name="logo-priority" type="hidden" default="2"/> <field name="copyright-priority" type="hidden" default="3"/> <field name="styledeclaration-priority" type="hidden" default="4"/>
Please note that the default is set to 60px, which is the same setting as the current template.<fieldset name="features" label="FEATURES"> <field name="dyngrid" default="60" type="text" class="text-short" label="mywidth"/> <field name="viewswitcher-priority" type="hidden" default="1"/> <field name="logo-priority" type="hidden" default="2"/> <field name="copyright-priority" type="hidden" default="3"/> <field name="styledeclaration-priority" type="hidden" default="4"/>
Upload the amended file to replace the original.
Now go to Joomla admin and select the rt_tachyon_j16 template and go to template admin. In the features tab you should now have an option called mywidth and it should be displaying the 60 width.
Just change the width to suit your needs and then apply. Remember that there are 12 columns so if you set the column width to 100 then you will deliver a screen width of 1200px.
Hope this helps
Damn easy fix! Thank you so much. Used for Voxel and very thankful for it!

- Hello I apologize for lifting this old topic. But like the template Radiance and updated to Joomla 3.6.2. I did everything by this topic... The entire site, however, stuck to the right side and I can not centered it... Rather, it expanded to 100%. If you have time, could you give advice on what to do? Thanks!

Hard to say without a link.
As a note: The width changer is an unsupported hack.
I suggest to move on to Gantry 5. You can easily chnaged widths and more without the need to hack the framework.
