Site Breaking Bug in 5.7?
Permalink
Actually, I think this is a site breaking bug. I've tested this on two sites now.
Basically, when you add a layout to a GlobalArea(); you can not remove it. Usually when you add a layout you are able to delete it from click on the column tag and selecting Edit Container Layouthttp://i.imgur.com/2vGcEiw.png and pressing the bin iconhttp://i.imgur.com/7rO30tp.png
If you add a layout in a global area these functions are missinghttp://i.imgur.com/ePdWUVg.png
Personally I believe the documentation really needs streamlining. Coming from Wordpress I found my self getting more information from the Concrete5 youtube channel than the actual documentation it's self. It seems versions out of date when compared to 5.7.

Thanks, I've registered for your site. It looks promising :) I love the logo
As c5hub says, this is a known issue in active development.
This is a challenging issue, so we're postponing it. For those affected, here is something you can try. I haven't had a chance to test it personally
1. Go into Dashboard > Stacks
2. Select "Global Areas" from the dropdown menu at the top.
3. Find the global area you added the layout to in the list.
4. Click through. Click the delete link above the content.
That should clear out the global area.

That's sad news, but I have faith in you guys
I've been a WordPress developer for a long time and have used it and recommended it to the agencies I've worked at. After using Concrete5 for only a couple of weeks I can say I'm completely sold. This CMS system is so versatile and limitless that its now my favourite CMS. You couldn't get WordPress close to this without 6-8 plugins. I'll be using this in all future projects. Not to mention its actually easier to theme than WordPress
Keep up the great work guys!
Edit: Could you completely disable layouts in global areas until its fixed just so clients don't accidentally do it for whatever reason?
