yeah u can do a lot of things with it, but the question is: when ?
after what time of learing curve are u able to use your template ?
i am sorry, but this is too much.
too much menu structures, too many levels of what to change and where the heck to change and wherever to go.
this brings me to another point...
is there a way for a refund ? because i'll never will go for the gantry framework again.
edit:
for example fluent template:
if you wanna have to change the content of the left slider , you have to change it in the
layout.yaml ( or maybe i did not found the editor for it. i don't know) it kinda sucks.. sorry.
You have to put all your text and stuff in there. you can not change this in the joomla backend.
Well, what sense does it make to have a CMS , when i have to open up textfiles somewhere in the template folder to place my contend in
to fit / get the template style ? - Last Edit: 3 years 1 month ago by fw114.

Hello,
Unfortunately, as stated in our terms, we cannot provide refunds after a membership/template is purchased (especially after the template(s) has been downloaded).
Unless you are looking to create new sections or modify sections entirely, the need for editing the layout.yaml files should not be necessary. Nevertheless, this can be done via your Joomla admin via Extensions -> Templates -> Templates -> Template Details and Files.
Also we can provide assistance for you with any questions you might have via our forum. Please let us know. - Last Edit: 3 years 1 month ago by Reggie Simmons.

Well it's unlike the same as editing the file in the templatefolder. It just breaks the Joomla CMS as CMS idea.
I don't wanna have to put content in joomla template files whatsoever. no matter if i change them via vi editor oder over the joomla backend
editor, where i just make the same as with vi editor on linux console.
if other people with no knowlegde (just a simple author for example )wanna put content on such postions, they are not able to do so
and that a no go for any template. - Last Edit: 3 years 1 month ago by fw114.

Again, unless you are looking to create new sections or modify sections entirely (perhaps renaming the sections), the need for editing the layout.yaml files should not be necessary. Any addition of content will be done via the Layout manager itself.
docs.gantry.org/gantry5/configure/layout-manager - Kind regards,

You do not need a page builder extension with Gantry 5. You just use Gantry 5 to edit pages. You edit the particle layout and particle contents all within Gantry 5 admin as I showed in my video.
Full Gantry 5 documentation is here http://docs.gantry.org/ including many videos within those pages.

Well,
the documentation is like the framework. too many different places. follow up answers are not there.
anyways.
i watched the vid about editing and creating menues in the ganrty menue editor.
well, done so far. i have a decent menu.
1) created menues in joomla
2) gantry menue editor > main menue > put links and stuff here , saved
reload HP and click on a link.... nothing happens
where does the content go ?
do i have to add a css class to the menu link ?
what to do to display my content in the theme ?
i am sry for those questions, but i can't see it in the moment.

Please would you post your URL, superuser id and pswd in the secure tab of your post and I'll have a look for you.
What menu are you expecting to show what content?
Content can either go in article or particles or modules - it depends on your specific requirement... Most of the time you can just do it all in Gantry 5 layout manager and particles.
