Hi
Everyone in this topic seems really aware of RT and gantry templates and all this kind of things. Could you help me for the following ?
I use J2.5 and Gantry 4.1.2. I am trying to find where I could customize the default template views. For instance I want the intro image of an article to appear above its title. I know how to override in Joomla but can't sort it out in RT nor Gantry.
I could not find the helpful page on the web not even on dedicated forums. I may not look for the correct keywords...
Can any of you give a quick help ?
Many thanks
Louis

That is a good and important question.
In Joomla 2.5 you were used to to override the views like that:
/templates/gantry/html/com_content
Now you need to do it like that in Gantry 4.1+ for joomla 2.5
templates/gantry/html/joomla/2.5/com_content/category
Don't forget that if you want to override blog_item.php you also need to copy blog.php
Probably it's the best to copy everything from
/components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/
to
/templates/gantry/html/joomla/2.5/com_content/category
just to be save

I had some troubles with the overrides (blog_item.php) too and it took some time to figure it out. I had to disable the files one by one to find the problematic one, blog.php. I renamed it and my day was saved.
All my overrides were in the default path /templates/gantry/html/com_content, so what's the story with this /templates/gantry/html/joomla/2.5/com_content/? Overrides seem to work the same way no matter which path do you use.
And what's the purpose of all these files like blog.php for example in the /templates/gantry/html/com_content/category/ folder? I wouldn't like to have such files messing things up if they are useless, so are they?

What does that practically mean, which one is the right way to go with J2.8.5 and J3.0? What about those default overrides, can I just delete them or is it case sensitive when I might need them? I'm just trying to avoid situations where I have to waste hours and hours because of some file/style/line/structure that causes trouble.
Just like today I have had to spend too much time searching for one line (img {max-width:100%;}) from .less files without success...
