Grid-based Layouts
Permalink
Have been watching some of the screencasts, and am playing around with 5.7.2.1.
I also have been looking at Wordpress, and there is an interesting plug-in called Page-Builder, which creates grid-based layouts "on the fly". Am I wrong in thinking that this is the purpose behind this new feature of integrating grids in C5 Layouts? This will be way better than Wordpress, and will also practically eliminate the need for more than 3-4 Page Templates?
However, I noticed that although this way of building a page is very fluid, (which is fantastic) - I couldn't move the layouts around once created. The button is there, and the layout becomes a little black tile when you pull it, but it can't be moved.
I know that up to 5.6, Layouts have generally been a last-ditch special needs solution kind of thing, but including the grids and making Layouts moveable would be fantastic.
Thank you C5 team for all your efforts thus far....

Just an FYI: you can also only move layouts up and down in an area (Since moving layouts from one area to another could be very problematic for many reasons.)
Great to hear that it's working for you – we're pretty excited about the upgraded grid-based layouts too.

Wow - this is fantastic!
