How should the included containers be handled?

Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi,
I have purchased, installed and activated the theme Subatomik.
There are 6 container files in the /themes/subatomik/elements/containers directory, yet no container is displayed for insertion to a page.

Shouldn't the containers be installed during the installation of the package? And even if it should not be necessary to have them installed and Concrete should automatically detect the container files in the Containers directory (I actually don’t know how Concrete handles containers) - they just do not appear.

How to use the containers provided in the theme?

Thank you,
Michael

For some reason, right after installing the Subatomik Theme Package, the included containers do not appear.

As a "solution" I reactivated the Core Atomik Theme, then deactivated it and activated Subatomik again: now the containers appear and can be used.

Hi,

Currently, the configuration of containers requires manual setup. To configure a container, you need to navigate to Pages & Themes > Containers, click on "Add Container," choose a suitable icon and name for the container.
The handle for the container should match the file name (without extension). For example, if the file name is "contact_us.php," the handle should be "contact_us."

Currently, containers in Subatomik match containers in the Atomik theme, and Atomik installs containers when it is active.

We will consider implementing automatic container installation in a future release.

Kind Regards,

Thank you very much for the detailed information! While it's certainly handy to have containers installed automatically by the theme, it's also not a problem to do it manually, I just wasn't sure if it should be done that way.
