I just uploaded an installed gantry Hydrogen template on a new website. All well on frontend, admin of in this case Joomla is perfectly fine, it allowed me to configure the website like usual, so I guess it is installed. However the template doesnt show up in the domain files. I cant therefore make any overrides. It's quite weird. I tried to discover anything not installed properly, but it came up with nothing. So where is the template hiding??
Is there any reason why Gantry strips out HTML closing tags from inside particles? I have to manually escape any closing tag such as <\/a>. However, if I'm passing anything from a particle array, there is no way of adding the escape so it never actually renders. This is inside the javascript area. I'm trying to use particles as an adminsitrative inteface for a JSON effectively
@newjie In WordPress open the template layout and you want to use for a specific page. You can then press the assign option and press the toggle switches to choose which menu or pages that layout is assigned to. Assigning templates on WordPress can get a bit messy which you are in include other taxonomies, specially if you are using WooCommerce for instance. In that case I have found it easier to use the assignment.php within each layout option within your theme folder > Custom > Config > Your Layout Name assignments.yaml Simply check the ID of the page you want to layout to be live on and then add that ID: true after page:
@marvays you can add this to your custom.scss file.
I got this error in Joomla with PHP 7.4 "Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in /home/customer/www/__.com/public_html/plugins/system/gantry/functions.php on line 41" and here is the function: function gantry_parsePathComponents($path, $endSlash = true, $base = false)
{
for ($path = trim($path), $slash = strstr(PHP_OS, 'WIN') ? '\/' : '/', $retArray = array(), $str = $temp = "", $x = 0; $char = @$path{$x}; $x++) {
if (!strstr($slash, $char)) $temp .= $char; elseif ($temp) {
$str .= $temp;
$retArray[$temp] = $str . ($endSlash ? $slash{0} : '');
$str .= $slash{0};
$temp = "";
}
}
$base && $temp and $retArray[$temp] = $str . $temp;
return $retArray;
} --end of function

:)
it's odd though as even gantry 4 should have a fix for that one
check that joomla hasn't disabled the updates
for gantry
it should have update for that, though
but if you can uninstall it (eg. you're not using gantry 4 template), please do so
TIP: I found out yesterday that html5 has a built in attribute for lazy loading images
adding the attribute loading="lazy" to img tags uses the browser facility to lazy load without scripts. The coverage is currently around 74% browsers but of course there is no error on unsupported and it is one less script to run.
I've tested it on an ecommerce site in Chrome and it works fine. So, you could add this attribute to an override in your CMS (I use Joomla)
source: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Performance/Lazy_loading
can I use: https://caniuse.com/?search=lazy
Have an issue and not sure if WordPress or Theme retlated. P class is being added to pages and elements withing the content area are automatically. This breaks some layout options. Used the script to remove all empty P classes but where it add the P class to DIVs it a problem.
@dmleeman yeah know what you mean. We are currently using the Pro version of Cloudflare. Bit sticky with some of the rules etc but managed to get it working ok after a time. Found their documentation pretty useless. The way it optimised the images is great but had to turn off all other optimisation plugins. Just make sure it doesn't cache admin, cart, checkout and account pages were the main rules.
@Wicko-Design Exactly that! The Cloudflare service is great, but the docs require investigative work rather than flowing as a means of achieving what you need from the caching. The caching did cause me some real bother on a cart/checkout site that cost me hours/days of consternation!
@mattfletcher: use this code in your custom.scss file
.g-owlcarousel.has-color-overlay .owl-stage > .owl-item:nth-child(2n+1) .g-owlcarousel-item-img::after {
content: none;
}
Remember to recompile CSS from base outline too.
To create a custom.scss file refer to Gantry documentation http://docs.gantry.org/gantry5/tutorials/adding-a-custom-style-sheet/
I'm having trouble with Hydrogen/Gantry5 to work with PHP 7.4, attached is a screenshot of the live site on PHP 7.3, no errors in the console. then i switch to PHP 7.4 and my layout goes haywire. i'm not seeing any errors in cPanel logs... and I turned on Display Errors = Maximum in Joomla Global Configuration, I'm not getting any hints. Where else should I check?
Hello. I've just updated a site to 7.4 and it trhows a gantry 5 error. Can someone help me to investigate if there is a gantry 5 error? I'm using latest gantry 5.4.37 and the site is http://cangenis.cat
(7.4 means php 7.4, and it's a joomla gantry package)
@aaaakel123_twitter Security can be improved by following protocol. WordPress or Joomla both have options to increase security. I alot also can be done on your server and using htaccess settings. I would say Joomla is probably more secure out of the box than WrodPress but don't let that put you off. On my latest project I have had vigeroius Penetration testing done on the site and with a few minor amendments passed with flying colours. But a lot is also down to the plugins and extensions you add. Make sure they are from well supported and reputable developers.
