Brand new to Joomla (very familiar /w WP) and I think Gantry is exactly what I need, but I'm not sure.

[Rob]

Hi all.  I want to create a *very* basic user-content-generated site.  A place where people can log in and post stories, post photos, and embed videos.  It would essentially have a banner logo as the header, a very simple menu on the right side, and the submitted content would show up newest-to-oldest on the screen (20 or so per page).

To make this easier I've attached an example of the layout I want to create.  I am not averse to purchasing a theme but so many of the ones I've looked at seem like overkill given how I want to keep the site very simple/functional.  

Being new to Joomla I had to do some reason and discovered the difference between templates and frameworks, and after finding gantry I think I could put this site together myself but I'm not sure where to get started.  I've looked at all the documentation but I can't figure out how to simply start with a blank slate and then start adding modules.  I feel like I'm missing something.

My question is: Can anyone with some experience tell me if I'm completely off the right path here?  If what I'm talking about is doable can you give me a quick rundown on the workflow you would follow? 

Thanks in advance for any/all info.  Have a good one!

Sounds like you still don't know how sites are consructed using Joomla. Might I suggest you use Google to learn from the many video tutorials on how to do this. This group is for Gantry Framework issues and not really suitable for someone who is still at a basic level.

 

Best wishes

Josef
