Hello. I'm new to Gantry. Can you advise me how to easily make a contact form with a few fields to fill in the questionnaire?

I try to install the new version of Hydronge 5.4.36, but I get this error
"JInstaller: :Install: File does not exist /home//j3hs.**.com/tmp/install_5f896fe0b3335/custom"

@WebAtelier47 try the free version of https://regularlabs.com/extensions/advancedtemplatemanager
But first, you need to update your Gantry template, and desable gantry assignation (new feature). You can find this to Components>Gantry > options

Ok, so for my problem, with the installation, i just copied the custom folder from version 5.4.35 amd put it in the zip file of 5.4.36.
I think if you create the folder manul it will work also

@marvays What platform are you using with Gantry - Grav?

@N8Solutions Hi, although the solution for the scroll down button did work, unfortunately it had the undesired effect of making buttons on other slides, that have internal page links, no longer function.
So, I am going to look at this a little later and see if I can alter the particle (standard Owl Carousel) and add the option of a scroll down button in each slide.
I'm thinking of adding 'scroll to' as a tick box option within each slide.

Hi Laurent, if I have understood the problem correctly then you can achieve this within native Joomla.
1) Call the link to the Category, and/or Articles within the category via the Main menu and assign your desired Gantry5 layout to the link.
or
2) See if this (from Joomla docs) is more suited - https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla#Alternative_Menu_Items

After the update of the template in joomla 3.9.22 to version 5.4.36 I got the following message.
Fatal error: Cannot declare class Joomla \ CMS \ Form \ FormField, because the name is already in use in administrator \ components \ com_fabrik \ classes \ 39 \ FormField.php on line 22

After investigation it appeared that the system plugin from Fabrik with version 3.9.2 or the component is causing the problems.

We will also post this report to Fabrik in the forum

@unicornwebs_twitter The Gantry Framework can only be used in conjunction with WP Themes designed to work with the Framework.

A solution was suggested to set the order in the table of this component or plugin to -1 so that it would load earlier or later than Joomla because it is an override of Fabrik.

I tested this but did not solve it.

The backend does not continue to work and now also get the 500 message

Philippe Kellen

@philippe_kellen_twitter

I have the same problem on my websites... yesterday i succeded to restore the admin access with the solution of -1 for the fabrik plugin, but today on another of my website...not yet (error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare class Joomla\CMS\Form\FormField, because the name is already in use in components/com_fabrik/classes/39/FormField.php on line 22')

Please, stop your upgrade.

I have edit your extention (Gantry 5 Framework) with an order of 2 and now it works, no more Err 500 in admin.

Matias Griese

@mahagr

yeah, the only solution to fix overrides of classes is to load that extension first

i can likely fix that in gantry, will need to have some testing (the class doesn't need to be loaded that early)

Tx !

@marvays Contact forms are one of the few things I add in as a third party front end extension on Joomla sites. The best in my opinion is Convert Forms from Tassos Marinos
Here is a demo link: https://www.tassos.gr/joomla-extensions/convert-forms/demos
It has a very simple drag and drop interface and exceptionally clean code output. There is a free version too

Hi guys, sorry if this was asked already, but is there any official documentation on how many images gantry5 creates when I upload an image, I've disabled all plugins that do any image optimization, and still on image upload via Media Uploader I get at least 10 versions of image. Not including the Wordpress generated ones. Thank you
EDIT
On some images I get the image_name-date-time-e-scaled...
Hope you get what im talking about

i tried updating gantry 5 package today and it crashed the admin portion of my site

Matias Griese

@mahagr

@bludove30 are you on joomla? there's known issue with fabrik, which is fixed in ci builds

@Anthony2244 gantry doesn't create any images (just one)

Anthony2244

@Anthony2244

@mahagr Well, it looks like that Wordpress creates some images by itself, deleted those using some php in functions.php, but after deactivating all plugins, and keeping only gantry and its atoms and particles alive, different sizes still being created. So I just asked if Gantry creates any more images for something. Thanks

bludove30

@bludove30

@bludove30 are you on joomla? there's known issue with fabrik, which is fixed in ci builds

@mahagr - yes it's on Joomla. what do you mean fixed in ci builds? how do I get it updated?

@FotoFusionFun_twitter

How can I use content restrictions with Gantry?

Matias Griese

@mahagr

@Anthony2244 yeah, gantry itself doesn't do any image manipulation, but themes may do

@FotoFusionFun_twitter gantry shouldn't care about acl, it just displays the pages

@bludove30 http://gantry.org/downloads#ci-builds, just look into the filenames to find joomla versions

FotoFusion

@FotoFusionFun_twitter

@mahagr when I add content using gantry it does not restrict the content. when i turn off gantry then the page shows restricted

Any contect entered in Edit Page in WP will be restricted. but any content within the theme/gantry does not restrict

Matias Griese

@mahagr

i don't understand the word restrict here

you mean not published?

Anthony2244

@Anthony2244

@mahagr Thanks for the info, guess that Helium that I'm using on that site creates lots of images, think I'm gonna strip those as well with some php

Daniel Lee

@daniel-pawnguru

stupid question: when i make a child theme of hydrogen, only recreating 4 files, index.php, styles.css, theme.yaml, and theme.php, the Gantry admin page/tools doesn't show up in sidebar.

however if i replicate the whole file structure, I do get the Gantry admin tools available. Is this the normal way of creating a child theme of hydrogen? In other words, what files / folders do I have to replicate on my child theme folder to get the full functionality of Gantry?

Just noticed that the Owl Carousel banner is not clickable in mobile view. I thought the entire banner was clickable on mobile. The buttoms are hidden on mobile so the banner needs to be clickable. Using WordPress 5.5.1 with Gantry 5.4.34 Helium.

@daniel-pawnguru you need few extra files, check gantry docs

I have a very high traffic site and the page load speeds are triple what it was before the last Gantry update. The G5 updated was the only change made to the site during the timeframe that it went from like 4 secs up to 14ish. @mahagr is there anything in the latest release that would affect page speed? This is an hourly view and you can see it starts going up the afternoon of 10/19: https://share.getcloudapp.com/wbuPzXOw

Matias Griese

@mahagr

ugh, shouldn't affect the page loads, there are no such changes

you may install older version on top and try if it fixes the issue

I am building a flight simulation virtual airline with Joomla and Helium

I am very pleased with the theme

it is still work in progress and is not finished but the parts done are working well

http://www.airalbavirtual.com/index.php to have a look

I use Owl Carousel and other items

I also found that I could use the MODAL extension to show airport timetables on a pop up as well as airport layouts

Careful planning in the back end work such as folder structures has meant that the data entry into the particles is so easy as I have a text template for each airport

This makes life easier and it took a text file and some php code to create each airport template file so I just cut and paste into the particles
