Looking at the way JQuery is headed it seems javascript is the way to go

@dmleeman , that grasshopper thing is useful to get concepts and understand what you can do scripting-wise. Once you have a basic understanding, you can google what you want to do , grab snippets from StackExchange and modify to suit your needs.

@dmleeman

@yellowwebmonkey Thanks Alexis, going to get started on that this evening

Hello all. SOLVED (my problem with Gantry5 theme style variations selections when is Joomla SEF on). Not depend on location localhost/domain and language (symptom but not cause). Problem was in "ImageSizer" older plugin from 2,5 joomla (still worked in new 3.9.x version, just lightbox on bigger images in articles). Disabled and mission is DONE (or way free for futher works)

Hi, I am trying to make a regional language magazine /blog

I have a couple of questions. May I ask here ?

dmleeman

@dmleeman

Hi, anyone know of any method in Joomla gantry 5 to make the left particles collapse underneath the second particle in mobile portrait view?
For example desktop would be
[Particle 1 Left] [Particle 2 Middle] [Particle 3 Right]

and default mobile view would then be

Particle 1 Left
Particle 2 Middle
Particle 3 Right

But I would like it to be

Particle 2 Middle
Particle 1 Left
Particle 3 Right

The reason in this case is I want a gallery/image slideshow on the left, article section in the middle and accordion on the right. Then when collapsed the Mobile view shows
Article
Gallery
Accordion

I'm guessing it is by using css to table layout the left particle and use dir RTL under a media selector

We recently ungraded to PHP 7.4 and our headers and footers are messed up in wordpress gantry and we are getting this error:
Deprecated: array_key_exists(): Using array_key_exists() on objects is deprecated. Use isset() or property_exists() instead in .../wp-content/plugins/gantry5/src/vendor/twig/twig/lib/Twig/Template.php on line 580 any ideas?

dmleeman

@dmleeman

@gteigland Hi, it looks like there are array settings in PHP 7.4 that are not catered for gantry 5 yet (and not just gantry 5 either). Personally, I would consider PHP 7.4 a beta right now. Drop back to PHP 7.3 and you should be fine.
I imagine that many plugins will also have issues with PHP 7.4 for a while. Consider 7.3 to be a working max for most CMS's. You may even have to drop back further for older plugins. There will be deprecated (made obsolete) commands in 7.4 that cannot parse current code standards, which is pretty much what the error is telling you. In fact this error is more or less assuming you are running alpha code as a developer and telling you what code syntax needs to be changed in order to work with PHP 7.4

gteigland

@gteigland

Yeah I finding this out as I look into this. Good call.

dmleeman

@dmleeman

@gteigland No worries, it's always tempting to try the shiny new thing!

gteigland

@gteigland

Yeah our IT dept wanted to make it happen because they are rightfully thinking about security but I put in a request at rockttheme so hopefully they can make a change

dmleeman

@dmleeman

@gteigland I would try to convince them that it is better practice to secure the existing solution. There may be extra security in 7.4 (I would imagine). But your site code will not be able to take advantage of these yet. Better to secure the server/folders and logins via known specific methods.
It looks like 7.4 really only makes use of more efficient array and function methods. I say 'only' because there is nothing obviously more 'secure' about it.

gteigland

@gteigland

thanks! sounds good

dmleeman

@dmleeman

Instead run your site through a web security audit and act on the obvious flaws one by one. This will give you something to print off and hand back to your IT dept! I suggest something like https://pentest-tools.com/website-vulnerability-scanning/website-scanner

gteigland

@gteigland

Never knew about this site thanks for the info. Helpful

dmleeman

@dmleeman

You're welcome. Also, run the site through a free CDN account with Cloudflare (yes, a free account exists) and this will relieve a lot of security headaches. If you've never used a CDN then you'll be amazed where your site traffic comes from. That should be enough to help secure and speed things along

gteigland

@gteigland

yeah we use that already and actually pay for it :)

dmleeman

@dmleeman

@gteigland Well, there are legitimate uses for paying for CDN of course, but the correct settings in there should be enough for most issues. Then protect the site headers from cross script, injections and middle man attacks. Hope it helps :)

gteigland

@gteigland

it does thanks for all your help

Hi, can someone please help with this : https://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/26502/joomla-3-9-gantry-5-4-31-mismatch-layout-issue-on-localhost

@meetdilip_gitlab

1) Try adding 2 more articles, if even just for testing to see how the layout looks when you click next.

2) You need to work with outlines and assign the articles to a menu item which uses an outline other than the one for the home page.

Here's a link to the Gantry 5 docs so you can get a better idea about the outlines. You should also have a general read through the documentation to get a better idea of what you can do with Gantry 5.
http://docs.gantry.org/gantry5/configure/outlines

Here's a link to an Inspire Theme Blog article that also discusses using Outlines.

@gteigland @dmleeman i already have a working version for php 7.4 in works, but unfortunately we cannot do that without dropping php 5.4 support

i'm running php 7.4 locally, but yeah, there are some issues with joomla and wp (mostly extensions)

so because of those above reasons, i am not yet in hurry on releasing version that works with php 7.4

Michael Koontz

@N8Solutions

@mahagr Good Morning!

Matias Griese

@mahagr

heya, gantry 5.5 day :)

i will be fixing some bugs for the next release

Hi, just discovered a layout quirk in both Hydrogen and Helium. I cannot recreate it on a desktop but using Android and Chrome the owl carousel does not always display as expected. So check the Hydrogen and Helium demos on a Mobile/Cell phone in portrait and you may see what I mean.
The static image in the background of that section overflows past the bottom of the carousel image.
I cannot fix it easily because it only seems to appear on mobile or tablet devices and I think that it stems from some hard coding in the yaml. If you overwrite this it will of course be once again overwritten on update of the two themes. They form the basis of many front end dev gantry 5 themes so will show up across these too.
Not saying I'm the first to notice it but don't know the best way to fix it.
Using the Chrome developer views does not show up the issue. Only Android based hardware seems to show it

dmleeman

@dmleeman

Here is a link to see it https://ibb.co/643600T

Only shows up on Android OS Google Chrome as far as I can see

dmleeman

@dmleeman

@mahagr Thanks for the update Matias, I agree. I'm no php expert! (ha) but it seems php 8.0 is already hard on the heels of 7.4 anyhow

dmleeman

@dmleeman

@mahagr Will the 5.5 gantry update cascade through to Helium and Hydrogen themes?

I am having trouble getting my menu dropdown to be full width. Any help?

David Wickstead

@Wicko-Design

this is in WordPress using Gantry5 Helium template. Trying to add a dropdown to an existing menu item. Not a separator

David Wickstead

@Wicko-Design

currently I have it in a horizontal line under the menu item but is ranging from the menu item and not the full width. Originall I have a perfect dropdown menu from a separator in the meni menu but I removed that to move the submenus under the other menu item. Its from there that now I can get the seub menu to be full width of the site

site is a dev area http://oni.staging.wpengine.com/

@Wicko-Design

Issues in Menu manager in WordPress Gantry5 Helium5.4.31. When I set sub menu to columns and save when I come back they are in list again and columns are blank

Michael Koontz

@N8Solutions

@Wicko-Design I had a similar issue but with other things not being saved when in the admin area. Are you using a CDN like Cloudflare? If so, you need to exclude the admin area from being cached or simply turn off caching while you are making changes.

Currently working on migrating a website to a new host. Trying to import the Gantry widget settings and the import/export buttons in the theme options page are not functioning.

The import "choose file" button isn't even visible unless you collapse the left nav menu. Any insight on how to work around this?

@LukeDouglas2

I'm having a problem with my own website. The RokSprocket / Cards won't paginate my portfolio display on the home page. Here is the Console in developer tools when I load the home page for https://webbering.com, https://webbering.com/images/troubleshooting/gantry-devtools-console-warning.png. I don't think this has any issue with this problem but I get a warning on recompiling the template: https://webbering.com/images/troubleshooting/gantry-recompile-warning.png

If anyone can see what may be causing the issue, I would be most grateful as I have exhausted all I know. :(

Matias Griese

@mahagr

@LukeDouglas2 try going to older version of gantry, i think there may be something wrong with your scss and the later version is better on detecting bad scss

Does anyone know of a Joomla gantry particle like Articles in Tabs, or Articles in Accordion? This seems a more efficient way of displaying content than just adding html into the content area. Ideally with readmore cutoff. I am trying to add a lot of course info into the Page Content particle and this solution would be ideal.

Currently using Joomlead Tiles with Page Content particle to the right, but this requires a page refresh when each tile is clicked.

A Tab particle would be more efficient and prevent the need for more javascript to anchor and scroll to the section (which I have to do now using Joomla Tiles Particle).
I think it would be good for SEO content (as relevant articles would be prefetched) and better for mobile data users too. Also means that the data can be changed centrally just by editing the articles and not having to cut and paste into tabs/accordions
I've tried Inspiretheme and asked Joomlead for this function but surprised if there is nothing out there.
