Gantry j16 3.2.1 - Font sizer transaltion - Display Component - 16 Column Layout

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Hello guys,
I have few issues with gantry 3.2.1 for 1.6
1. In language files there is no translation for font-sizer feature on frontend 
(missing):
TEXT_SIZE
DEC_FONT_SIZE
INC_FONT_SIZE

2. Display Component feature:

I dont know why but display component feature does not work for me, no matter 
if this feature is on or off nothing is happening on frontpage - default joomla 
blog, single article, frontpage articles or whatever is choosen for home link 
is still showing on frontpage.

3. 16 Colums Layout

Could you tell me please is there is a other way to activate 16 column layout 
in gantry for 1.6 comparing to 1.5?
I was trying to change it like in versions for 1.5 but I'm stuck on 2 issues:
1. After renaming template-options.16.xml to template-options.xml I get error 
on template admin:

C:\xampp\htdocs\strony\gantry16\templates\rt_gantry_j16/admin/tips/iphone.xml 
file not found

I compare "template-options.16.xml and template-options.12.xml" with default 
template-option.xml file and in both files whole section for tab mobile in admin
<fieldset name="iphone" label="IPHONE">
...
</fieldset>

is diffrent comparing it to defualt template-option.xml (it doesn't include 
also android in options.)
I swapped whole fieldset from template-option.xml 
<fieldset name="mobile" label="MOBILE">
...
</fieldset>

in to template-options16.xml and template admin start to work again but layout 
options in Layout Tab are unusable, please take a look at screenshot in 
attachment.

Thank you in advance for your time and looking at my issues.
Any answer or help is much appreciated.
Thanks once again,

Best Regards
Tomek

Other than this above I don't have any problems with Gantry or Joomla

Hello,

I was having the same exact issue you mention above regarding the layout panel 
for template admin. My screen looked identical to your screenshot. I'm still at 
the beginning of the learning curve with Joomla and Gantry, but learning 
quickly. This morning I determined the cause and solution to the problem you 
mention:

It seems you cannot modify the 16 grid parameter in the template-options.xml 
file after the template has been installed. More correctly, you might be able 
to change it, but there are probably changes required in the MySQL database as 
well.

The solution to your problem should be to change the grid from 12 to 16 in the 
template-options.xml file within the gantry (or other template) install zip 
file. Don't forget to also modify the layout <words> appropriately in that file 
(i.e., from 3,3,3,3 to 4,4,4,4 or other combination adding up to 16 instead of 
12). THEN install the template. This worked for me this morning with 
RocketTheme's Quantive template for Joomla 1.6.

Knowing the solution, I am now more curious about the install process and 
understanding what entries are made in the database related to templates. This 
would be helpful in understanding how to change the grid without uninstalling 
and then reinstalling the template.

I hope this helps solve your issue.

Kind Regards,

~Wes

Hello,
@Wes - thank's for your suggestion, I will check that  ;)

Regarding to second question: Displaying Component - after one of gantry update 
this problem disappeared for me, so or I had some problems with my Gantry 
installation or that was fixed with gantry update - make sure that you have 
latest version of Gantry Framework installed,
Regards
Tomek

Hi Tomek,

thank you for your answer. I installed the latest Framework 
gantry_joomla_framework-3.1.13 and it didn't solved the problem.

But I have found the way around ;) What I did is that I have installed the 
Module Anywhere plugin and now I just upload the module in the Homepage 
content. Quite simple solution withe the same result ;)

Hope it helps somebody ;)
Regards
J.

Hi

I have struggled getting a 16-col layout to install. This is what I did to make 
it work, I hope it help someone. PS I am not sure what effect its going to have 
on the iphone/android/mobile layout.

Before Installing:
1 - unzip rt_gantry_j16-3.2.6.zip
2 - rename \rt_gantry_j16\template-options.xml to, eg template-options.old
3 - copy \rt_gantry_j16\template-options.16.xml to 
\rt_gantry_j16\template-options.xml

4 - re-zip and install

5 - there seems to be a difference between the .12 and .16 XML files in the 
iphone/mobile area. The system will probably now display an error saying it 
can't find iphone.xml. The way I got round this was to copy (on the server) 
/templates/rt_gantry_j16/admin/tips/mobile.xml to 
/templates/rt_gantry_j16/admin/tips/iphone.xml

I also got quite a lot of cache type errors during several installs. 
Ensure that /libraries/gantry/admin/cache and all its files are writable.

Hope this can save someone a few hours of head scratching...and if anyone finds 
out if there are problems in the iphone/android/mobile area I would be pleased 
to hear.

Hi, if you want to use 16 columns grid please follow few simple steps:

unzip Gantry defalut template:
open file : rt_gantry_j16-3.2.6/rt_gantry_j16/template-options.xml

change line 25 - <field name="grid_system" type="hidden" default="12"/>
to:
<field name="grid_system" type="hidden" default="16"/>

You need to compress template installer files once again and install on joomla.
That's all, you will have template based on 16 column grid.

If you get "Ensure that /libraries/gantry/admin/cache and all its files are 
writable."
then try to make sure that your folders and files permissions are correct.

I hope that this will help.
Regards
Tomek
