Error when displaying GK5 grid module

I have just installed the GK5 Grid module on my Joomla 3.2.3 site. I have setup the Grid GK5 module to a custom position and the Custom HTML modules with the content reference the grid defined position.

However, I always get an error of "Specified module on the used module position doesn't exist!" in the grid cells, and the content is not displayed. This is a different error, than as is documented ("Specified module position doesn’t exist or is blank!").

Is there a simple tutorial on how to position a GK5 grid in an article in 3.2? Do the positions have to be defined in the templateDetails.xml or other xml or php files?

It is probably a simple solution, but I cannot understand the documentation, and am new to Joomla.

Thanks, g

Did you create a custom position in the template code? or just enter a custom position name in the module settings?
Sounds like the position wasnt created. This needs to be done manually, you can find tutorials im sure or contact me if you would like help

I can display text in the proper grid locations, and the grid margins, but the images do not appear. I updated my template and that has stopped the error messages, but it still does not add images to the grid.

attached is the rendered output

Im sure I could help you out if you could share your url for starters. I dont have any gavick templates installed anywhere and do not work for them so may need admin also

Hi devsmi,

Here is the URL that shows the grid -> http://matthewkliewerpainting.com/index.php/gallery

The grid looks well formed, and I moved the images into a dir in /images.

The grid rendered:
<div class="gkGridGK5" data-animation="1" data-random="0" data-speed=
"normal" data-type="scale" id="gk-grid-100">
<div class="gkGridGK5Wrap active" style="margin: 1px -1px">
<div class="gkGridElement gkGrid-grid2_1-1 active"></div>
<div class="gkGridElement gkGrid-grid2_2-1 active"></div>
<div class="gkGridElement gkGrid-grid2_3-1 active"></div>
<div class="gkGridElement gkGrid-grid2_4-1 active"></div>
<div class="gkGridElement gkGrid-grid2_5-1 active">hello 5</div>

I set the grid content modules' background to images, they get stripped out though.

Will have to take a deeper look tomorrow.

Cheers,

What is the custom position you have created? can you send me admin and ftp. I will look at this for you

Problem solved with the help of devsmi.

To make a long story short:
Initially this was a Joomla 2.x version, and 2.x template, and I used a Super User to edit site.
I upgraded site to Joomla 3.0, and updated template and all extensions.
Installed GK5 Grid in 3.0.
Checked all permissions in filezilla, and ran Fix Permissions from admin tools.
After using GK5 module, issue as described appeared.
Got pissed off because it should have worked, when I opened the modules the data was there.
Created another admin user for devsmi to use to debug. He logged in and saved a module and it rendered and worked.

The issue was in the user. I created a new user and saved the grid item modules, and it worked.

Lesson learned. Try a new user.

Thanks for the help devsmi!
