- My Gantry menu editing system doesnt seem to be functioning. I'll change positions etc for certain menus, and there is no movement. Anyone know what might be malfunctioning?

hi there,
am i understanding you correctly that only the layout slider changes for the positions do not save?
or are also other changes not saving correctly?
do you only have these issue when using the per-menu-item settings or also when changing the default settings?
1. is params.ini writable?
very often the changes actually do get saved, even if the params.ini says it is unwritable.
worth to give this a try.
if it does not work, you may try to enable your ftp layer in the joomla global configuration.
if this doesn't help as well, then you can try to add some changes to ../administrator/components/com_templates/controller.php
find below codes:and change to:// Try to make the params file unwriteable if (!$ftp['enabled'] && JPath::isOwner($file) && !JPath::setPermissions($file, '0555')) {// Try to make the params file unwriteable if (!$ftp['enabled'] && JPath::isOwner($file) && !JPath::setPermissions($file, '0755')) {
2. make sure to use the latest version of gantry.
which version of gantry do you have installed?
you could try to update to the latest version and see if the error still shows up.
if you have gantry 2.x and above, then all you need to do is get the gantry_joomla_framework-3.0.3.zip from here:
code.google.com/p/gantry-framework/downloads/list
and install it through your joomla admin > extensions > install/uninstall...
3. also make sure that you are using the layout sliders correctly:
to see how this works, make sure to check the documentation on our gantry framework site.
www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/joomla/configure/layouts
best to check the video tutorial to fully understand how to use those sliders.
if you are still having issues, please let me know and give me a very detailed example of what you are trying to change.
hope this helps, kat

Thanks for the reply. I got the params.ini writable. And I made sure we uploaded the latest version of Gantry.
The only thing that doesnt seem to work now are the menus. I cant use gantry to manipulate them. Their positions wont change. I cant get them to appear as anything more than linkable text. They wont respond to the animation settings. None of that. However, I can get the style format to change. I can turn on and off certain toggles. etc. Layout manipulation appears to work fine.
I am essentially trying to get my TOP Menu and MAIN Menu to appear in various positions. They had been working somewhat and then just stopped. They are in my modules and listed as ENABLED.
Still not sure why the menus wont change positions or appearance.

- It appears that manipulation of the menu's placement is working through the module. Not sure whether that means anything in relation to the gantry part
