    • a clean template ...

      even when I remove my line the titles look wonky ... probably you changed the css ...
      How should I track down what you changed?

      And btw ... you posted in the Tachyon forum ... so my suggestion was for Tachyon ...
      I tried it locally and it worked pretty well.

    • Henning, thanks for your patience, but it's still not working apparently.

      We re-installed Modulus, re-installed Gantry, set all css back to original, and put your code into template.css. The result you can see is still a mess.

    • ... well its a mess even without my line.That is because YOU HACKED the gantry.css file!

      You have
      .rt-block {padding: 5px;margin-bottom: 5px;position: relative;}
      instead of
      .rt-block {padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;position: relative;}
      for example ...

      Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never Never change a single thing in the components folder ... really NEVER ... if anybody suggested that here ... that is just wrong.

      please put a unhacked filed back in OK?

    • :lol: Loved your post - certainly made an impression! In my defense, that was one of my developers who was frustrated because he couldn't find the location of the fix code. I'll take your advice and put it back to default.

      One question - when I re-installed Gantry, doesn't it re-load the libraries and the css files? I thought that would clear up all Gantry changes, but obviously Gantry re-install must preserves css changes? Confused.

    • No a gantry reinstall should revert any core changes: php, css, everything.

    • assur3,

      I will work on a clean Rocketlauncher this evening and see if I can find a more reliable solution.
      I already have a good solution ... but I will try to make it better.

      We put everything back to default, re-installed Gantry, re-installed Modulus, everything is now clean and original, no hacks. Then we put your code into template.css. That's the only modification. The result is still a mess. Thoughts??

      OK, thanks, looking forward to it. Our client is getting antsy and asking pointed questions about Gantry, since this kind of stuff was so easy with the J15 templates (Versatility4, for example, which they loved) and now is vastly more complicated with the 2011 Gantry-based templates. Gantry has a wonderful feature set, but seems to have thrown the baby in with the bathwater by complexifying the things that used to be simple.

    • actually it's a bit more complicated with modulus ...
      Instead of looking at the grid classes I looked at .rt-block

      I took the Rocktetlauncher and added this :

      div#rt-top div.rt-container div.rt-block {margin: 7px -5px;}
      div#rt-showcase {margin-left: 5px;margin-right: 5px;}
      div#rt-showcase div.rt-block {}
      div#rt-body-bg {padding-top: 10px;}
      div#rt-showcase {margin-bottom: 10px;}
      div#rt-feature div.rt-block {margin: 0 -5px 5px;}
      div#rt-utility div.rt-block {margin: 5px -5px 5px;}
      div#rt-maintop div.rt-block {margin: 5px -5px;}
      div#rt-breadcrumbs div.rt-block {margin: 5px -5px 10px;}
      div#rt-main div.rt-container div#rt-content-top div.rt-block {margin: 0 -5px 10px;}
      div#rt-main div.rt-container div#rt-content-bottom div.rt-block {margin: 5px -5px;}
      div#rt-main div.rt-container div:first-child div.rt-block {margin-left: -5px; margin-right: -5px;margin-bottom: 5px;}
      div#rt-sidebar-a div.rt-block {margin: 0 -5px 10px !important;}
      div#rt-sidebar-b div.rt-block {margin: 0 -5px 10px !important;}
      div#rt-sidebar-c div.rt-block {margin: 0 -5px 10px!important;}
      div#rt-mainbottom div.rt-block {margin: 5px -5px 10px;}
      div#rt-bottom div.rt-block {margin: 10px -5px 5px;}
      div#rt-body-bg {margin-bottom: 10px;}
      div#rt-footer div.rt-block {margin: 10px -5px 5px;}
      div#rt-main{margin-bottom: 5px;}

      Not sure if this solves every thing but should give a good start ...

    • Thanks for your responsiveness. We're also open to using Tachyon if that would be easier. To the client, Tachyon and Modulus are the same.

      When you say RocketLauncher, do you mean we should copy/paste this code into template.css? Or into the template php code? Or where?
