gábor hojtsyCan you explain your request in a little bit more detail? Have you reviewed the videos posted about the components of the distribution on the project page?

charlie charles commentedSorry, I'm still pretty new to drupal
I only know how to edit teasers
using display suite.
The problem the mobile responsive panels that are used in the
Spark distribution is they are not editable in display suite.
So, I do not know how to I can edit the teasers without
using display suite?
Many Thanks for your help

gábor hojtsyThe Spark layout builder is dependent on Panels, which is what provides the content placement (regions) capabilities as well as in-place editing for the layout content placement on the front-end and path assignment for layout-content combinations through page manager. I honestly have not tried putting display suite on top of this setup, but the layout builder will definitely not work without panels (and not be useful without page manager).

charlie charles commentedThe problem with Drupal 7 is
Layout is design is not an extra option
it's a part of a projects workflow
There are to many options for layout design
in Drupal 7
*Regions
*Panels
*Panelizer
*Display suite
*Views
Each one of these does something similar to the other
and each has a option the other doesn't.
There should be just one main
layout design tool UI and feature extra options for it
This would makes things easier to learn
and less confusing

gábor hojtsyPanels/Panelizer works well with Views, however not regular regions, that is true. We needed to pick a system we can integrate with. Unfortunately systems like panels and spaces/context don't use the same kind of backend solution to provide for layouting. It is theoretically possible that the layout builder would generate phptemplate files but then those are not exposable to the theme system if they are not in the theme, so we'd need to impose a specific frontend theme on you that supports our outside-injected layouts. We needed to pick which limitations we want to accept. I think working with Panels turned out to be good for us, especially with the growing popularity and cohesion of the system with Panopoly (http://drupal.org/project/panopoly).

charlie charles commentedI agree, panels is definitely a great choice! :)
So far my view spark is
*the admin very easy to use
*The Mobile - iPad - Desktop layout setup is fantastic!
*Easy to edit content
It's going to be a big hit!
Plus it's going to get more people from the Wordpress and Joomla
market to change to drupal because editing content and responsive layout system is best on the market!
I'm used to joomla where I used to just having to copy the component teaser template file
and edit it then load it into the HTML template folder - Simple quick and easy!
To change the teaser design in Drupal
has been to overly complex and time consuming
I had to spend ages watching videos on how to use panels
and display suite just to edit a teaser design

charlie charles commentedMany Thanks, I've just tried Panopoly and I wish tried it soon!
That was things I've been looking for :)

gábor hojtsySuperb!

AdamKahn commentedYou might also want to check out the Views Responsive Grid module.
The standard grid display uses tables, which is easy to generate programatically but murder to reshuffle on the fly. This one is div-and-CSS based, which allows you to control more of the behavior using media queries.
