  • Some layout settings not saved

    • I have not managed to move the sidebar to the left side by modifying the layout, even though the menu items are assigned correctly. The settings simply do not change, and I have made sure the Gantry cache and the Joomla cache are off and the browser cache is cleaned. I tested updating the layout for MainBody, MainTop and MainBottom, but the settings do not get updated.

      I am running Apache on Windows server, using the Wampserver bundle. The installation of the Gantry Framework did not produce any errors. No errors are recorded in the PHP error log either.

      The Joomla 1.5 version of Gantry stores its settings in the file params.ini which needs to be writable. So far I have not managed to find where modified settings are stored in Joomla 1.6.

      When testing Gantry 3.1.5 in Joomla 1.5, I had to manually write enable the params.ini file each time before saving the template settings. After the R flag is manually deselected, the message "The parameter file \templates\rt_gantry_j15\params.ini is unwritable!" disappears from the Template Manager. When the settings have been saved, the Read Only flag gets turned on automatically and the message about the file being unwritable returns.

      Manually turning off the write protection would be fine, if all the settings were updated correctly. Unfortunately, this is not the case: in the Advanced section, the settings for MainTop and MainBottom were saved but even though the Layout settings MainBody and MainTop were modified at the same time, their values were not saved. The before and after copies of params.ini were compared using the diff utility.

      Does anyone know where the layout settings of Gantry 3.2.7 are stored in Joomla 1.6/1.7 so that I could place the sidebar to the left without having to modify the code?

    • hi there,

      this could be caused by a lot of things, maybe easiest if you send me you link and super admin details via pm to take a closer look?

      please also give me a detailed example of which setting you are trying to change to etc.

      thanks, kat :)
