CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

[Paul B]

I have sent the two edited templates to you via conversation @FredC.

 

[erich37]

I am wondering if something like this could be made for the Homepage ?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, it would be possible.

 

[erich37]

Yes, it would be possible.

that would be awesome !!!

 

[Paul B]

This took about 30 seconds via Style Properties @erich37.



Obviously there would be some more tweaking required but it would be a simple matter to turn it into a grid layout.

 

[erich37]

cool

would that be fine in "responsive" as well ?

Now if you tell me that it can show the "Prefixes" in default XF-Style, I am your next customer

 

[Paul B]

If you mean on the titles, no.

Only the prefix text is retained, by design.

Not sure what happened here, this is my first FT since the upgrade to the newest FT version and I have this image that I don't care for here it's in thread area, it obviously looks strange, any suggestions?

 

[Paul B]

It's in the original thread.

If you don't want it to appear in the featured thread block, edit the featured content to remove it.

Thanks for the add-on @Brogan , we picked it up awhile back and glad to see it developed into what it is today.

We modified the front output a bit to use Masonry, still a ways to go on styling but it's coming a long .

Quick question is there a conditional I can use to see which node the featured thread is coming from? Sorry if it's been answered.

Something like...
<xen:if is=@ctathreadnode=1">ect...</xen:if>

Hope that makes sense.

I'm trying to add a different mini icon depending on which node the thread gets promoted from.

Hi @Russ,
Any chance of a detailed tutorial on how to achieve this look via masonry?

this is looking great


did you really use Masonry or just CSS ?

I am wondering if Isotope could be used as well, as Isotope is much faster / better performing than Masonry ?

It was very little css on my part, like a few lines at most. Masonry took care of the rest.

@Brogan on my homepage when i post a feature thread the text is set to the lest, is it possible to have it in the center.

 

[Paul B]

Update the SP for the title and add text-align:center; to the miscellaneous field.

would it be possible for you to make it into a package/Addon with using the "XF-default style" + Masonry ?

Or some kind of tutorial of how to achieve this / how to insert the Masonry-files in order to make it work.....


Many thanks!

How can I display a grid layout ؟

 

[Paul B]

You will need to change the SPs to float the blocks left, give them a % width, add some margin, clear them, etc.

There isn't a checkbox to tick which will do it all for you.

 

[HenrikHansen]

If anyone wants to do something similar and needs some pointers in getting there, then I'm happy to help.

Yes, that anyone would be me for example . Can you share some css examples to put in the relevant SP´s ?

 

[Paul B]

To make it easier to ask questions, share tips, create guides, etc., I am in the process of setting up a dedicated support site.

I hope to have it live later this evening.

Excellent! I did wonder if something like this would be useful, so glad you are doing it.

@HenrikHansen I'll post some guidance on the new site once it is up and running.
