NOTE: Gantry v3.1.8+ is required for Mercado to work correctly. For more details on the Gantry Framework, please visit its Dedicated Website. Dedicated Sidepanel
In Mercado, the Sidepanel is forced on every page, and has a grid distribution of 3, leaving 9 to the Mainbody. Therefore, the Gantry layout controls only allow you to edit the Mainbody/Sidebar distribution, and not the Sidepanel distribution. You can switch the left/right position of the Sidepanel in the Gantry controls.
Control whether the Side Panel displays on the left or right in the Gantry settings: Admin → Extensions → Template Manager → rt_mercado_j15 → Settings → Side Panel Position.
To disable the Sidepanel altogether, set Layout Mode to Component Only. Do this on a per-menu-item basis only.
