To Whom It May Concern,
If I wanted to create 20 different article pages would I need to create 20 different layouts/outlines/styles in Gantry? We have created an "Article Default Layout" for all 20 but need the content (article) and sidebar logos to change on each. What is the best way to do this? Is there something dynamic we could create for our single "Article Default Layout" or if we have to create 20 seperate layouts, can this be done in the back end instead of the admin GUI if that is the only way?
Thanks in advance!
Doug

One outline should be sufficient for all the articles as all articles render in the "page content" particle on the layout of your outline. If you want different content to appear around those article then your should ensure that your have "module position" particles on the layout into which you can assign your modules. When you assign the modules to those positions you can also say which menu items they should be assigned to too. Therefore you can have different modules on different pages.
The only reason for creating lots of outlines would be if you wanted to put the content around the articles (sidebar etc) directly onto the layout of the outline (thereby making the outline page specific).
