Strange Add Layout (Add Columns) Behaviour
Permalink
Hello,
I'm very new to Concrete5, primarily I am a WordPress developer. I work as a Front-End Developer/Designer at a design agency in my town. We have a client in which Concrete5 would work perfectly for. Though I'm having a few issues.
To demo the site to them I want to make a CMS conversion of their current site that's using Drupal. Originally we was going to use WordPress but they wanted to edit content them self's. We have used Visual Composer for Wordpress in the past and while good we felt didn't offer the same user experience as Concrete5.
Right introduction aside. Here is the problems:
a) Their current site width is 940px. For demostration purperses I wanted to keep this the same. When I add a layout to that content area it displays past the content (version 5.7). When I publish it and refresh it renders in place but causes errors such as not being able to add content in that block. Also eventually the entire system locks up and I have to refresh.
b) When I add a layout into the Main content area I can remove it by clicking on the column. The ones in the global header shows no such settings. At the moment I have about 6 columns and 3 rows because I can not remove them or edit them.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I forgot to mention these are the bootstrap enabled columns (layout)
Hi Tom0,
To better understand the problem can you take some screenshots of what's going on.

Absolutely Karl Dilkington. I'll do that as soon as I get in to work.
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....
As for the columns stretching further than the content. I know this is just an edit to bootstrap, I need to do to change the widthhttp://i.imgur.com/u74AywM.png.... So that's not a problem. I just had to tell it I provide bootstrap.
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 It seems versions out of date when compared to 5.7.

Hi,
yes, you're right, this has also happened to me.
There is already an issue opened on github for this:
https://github.com/concrete5/concrete5-5.7.0/issues/1227...
Hopefully this will be solved in 5.7.1
(This is a tough transition time from 5.6 to 5.7, surely things will be much more settled in a few weeks :)

Thanks Jordif for the information
