Image Tab (practicals) vs Module Positions
-
-
I am a newbie when it comes to Joomla and setting up these tempaltes and I just wanted to know the advantage to Image Tab, such as in the Ambrosia tempalte instead of using module positions.
I find that its very simple to setup module positions but imagine tab requires a little more understanding, such as when using it with roksprocket.
I am refering to the home page of Ambrosia for this example
So what is the advantage, does it make the page load faster? does it resize better for other devices, what's the deal? - Last Edit: 6 years 9 months ago by .

Particles are in effect like Joomla modules. They're just a chunk of functionality to do something on the page. Ok so what are the differences.
1. particle are easy to develop and code using TWIG and YAML. They much quicker and easier to write than PHP/javscript for modules.
2. particles can be put inside a module "wrapper" called "Gantry 5 particle module" which means that they too can be assigned to module positions.
3. Modules can be assigned to specific menu items.
4. Modules can use Joomla ACL
5. Particles can be put directly on the layout - therefore you can construct an outline (page) entirely from particles and be able to visually see what you are getting on the layout.
6. particles work the same across all the Gantry 5 platforms (Joomla, Wordpress, and GRAV) making them easily portable between each CMS.
