Panel Menu is not compatible with layers

Post by mirco.giacon »

Hi.
I have a page with some anchored layers and floating inside them as shown in your tutorial on anchored layers.
It works correctly but if I add a panel menu it doesn't work. Is shown only the header layer and not the others.
The same thing if I add a panel layer.
I also tryed to insert the panel layer or a panel menu inside a floating layer or an anchored layer, but the result is the same.
I would like to have a page with some auto resizable layers and the possibility to open a menu on left side sliding the entire page as normally happens when you use a panel menu in a normal page.
Also I didn't find in the help and in the tutorial what does it mean 'Enable Form' in the property of the layer.
I trying to design a form that automatically reflows his fields. Do I must define various breakpoints or there is a way to obtain a real responsive form?
Thank you.

To be able to help you, I need a demo project so I can see all your settings.

Note that I do not need to complete project, only a small demo with one page and the objects that are relevant to your question.

You can create flexible forms with layout grids or flexbox
There are many examples for this available in the template section.

Thanks for your project.
However, I do not see a Panel Layer anywhere.
There is a Panel Menu, but that seems to work correct.

Can you please described exactly where k I need to look to see the problem?

For modern layouts, I recommend to use Layout Grids or Flex Box.
Anchored layers are a little bit outdated and were introduced before real responsive web design existed.

The panel menu works correctly in the flex grid page, but if you try to insert it in the anchored layers page the other layers are not visible.
Anywhere as you say that flex box are the best solution for modern RWD I will use them.
Whant do you mean for felx box? Are flex box and flex grid the same thing?
Please open the page flex grid in my project and read what I write about the problems that I need to solve.
Thank you for collaboration.

You cannot put a form object inside a flex gird.
A form is a fixed/absolute container, a flex grid is a fluid/flexible container, so a fixed container would break the flexible behavior of the grid.
However, the flex grid itself can be a form. So, if you move all the form elements insides the grid then you can use it as a form,

The text is not part of this grid so that is why it does not automatically resize.

Please try not to mix 'fixed' and 'flexible' layout, this will break the layout.
