    Serious Issues with Denali Particle Defaults

    Posted 5 years 9 months ago
    • Okay, first I thought it was an issue with my install, so I installed the template on another site and I am still experiencing the same issue on both sites...

      Both sites have:
      Joomla 3.8.8
      Gantry 5.4.23
      Denali 1.0.1
      Google Chrome Version 66.0.3359.139

      On the Base Outline, when I go to Particle Defaults, many of the particles I can only edit certain fields of that particle - for example, the Simple Counter, I can't change the date or the month (drop down selectors) other particles are completely blank (title is there, but no parameters).

      I also was informed that Denali supports headroom for a fixed header/menu, but both installs had no headroom Atom present.

      For all particles in the right column, CSS Classes field is uneditable, none of the dropdown selectors work, and none of the input selection buttons work. This also happens on the Base Outline -> Page Settings

      Particles that are completely missing their parameters:
      Left ColumnRight Column
      Block ContentPopup Module
      CarouselPricing Table
      Case StudiesSearch
      Grid StatisticShowcase Slider
      Image GridSimple Content
      Info ListSlider
      Video

      Particles that cannot be edited in Particle Defaults can be edited on the individual Layouts. On further investigation, this behaviour seems to only happen so far in the version of Google Chrome mentioned at the top of this post, tested in Safari on Mac OSx El Capitan and functionality works, but still has missing parameters for the Particles mentioned in the above table. Will also double check with IE, Edge and Chrome browsers on my PC a little later and update any findings.

    • Hi Jeff,

      regarding Particle Defaults, we decided to only leave the Title and the option to disable/enable the particle globally for most particles, so what you're seeing is expected. Since we introduced Inheritance/Copying of particles/sections, the Particle Defaults became redundant and we may even remove the tab completely sometime in the future. Also, the page itself became very long with all options present and a lot of users struggled to correctly use Particle Defaults and individual overrides. The best approach is to set up the desired particle individually in one of the outlines and if you then wish to use it in other outlines, you can inherit/copy it and edit as needed. Practically there is no more real need for Particle Defaults.

      Headroom is not included in Denali to my knowledge.

      I will check the CSS classes thing in a little bit and post back then.
