Thanks @Dadparvar for this great modification, very nice.
I hope you can add some day a modular layout with headlines.. and maybe an option to display features threads by category ( forum).

Just a question: Does the grid layout works in Explorer versions older than IE10?

Thanks @Dadparvar for this great modification, very nice.

Your welcome. Glad you like.

This is not hard. It can be done easily. But if this:

display features threads by category ( forum)

be supported by the main add-on. I'm not sure if its possible in current version of @Brogan 's add-on or not. If he says it is possible, then I will add a new layout called "Modular" to get what you want, when I get some free time. (And as you know modular layout, it will support other layouts within itself)

Ahh, beautiful.

In IE 8 and 9 and 10 and 11 its OK:


but in IE 7 Its like this:


(tested using IE developers tools)

add-on also tested on xf 1.4 and worked as it must.

Hey @Dadparvar

How can I make this look better?

Stretched images, small italic text etc.

Hi @Solidus ,

If you want, you can edit its css template. But if not, then just wait a few hours so that I get back on keyboard, then I will add some new style properties to grid view to get better access to things.

(but about stretching the image, its the normal behavior of grid view, to cover its thumbnail container to look neat. But I'll try to find better way for it)

Dadparvar updated [HA] CTA FT Layouts with a new update entry:

Some improvement in Grid View

• Grid View Improved
• Title Style property added for Grid View
• Description style property added for Grid View
• Stretching thumbnail in Grid View layout fixed (now is like XFMG, in square shape. So if you also upload square image, then will get the best result.)

In order to upload icons (thumbnail) for your featured thread in higher quality, don't forget to set its option in CTA FT add-on's options page. In "Featured Thread Icon" you should set the quality field to 100....

In 1.0.2 a version you can easily control the Title and Description of Grid using style properties:

Also the Grids are not behaving just like XFMG (square sharp + size and ...)

Images still look bad. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere?

Images still look bad. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere?

It looks bad, because this setting of CTA FT add-on affect on the uploaded image when you uploaded them before:


Now if you set this setting to 313 * 313 and below it to 100, then edit one of those featured thread and update their image with exactly the same image, you will see that the image will look in its best way.

(this is out of scope of my add-on. I could add an option for it, but it would affect on your main add-on and this wouldn't be nice anyway. So just once you set that option and enjoy the good quality images since now)

Much better!
Also, is it possible to show the thread title in the middle of the featured image with a frosted (or kinda of blurred) background?

 

[Dadparvar]

with a frosted (or kinda of blurred) background?

In next version you will have a new style property to set if you want to blur thumbnail or not:
Style properties:
Before:
After:

you will be able to control the blur value.

I am also seeing a problem, how do i make it have 3 grids rather than the 2 it displays at the moment? and also its cutting of the bottom grid at the bottom of page?

 

[Brad P]

Is it possible to make the main grid box smaller in side?

In the style properties of the add-on, you can control how many grids to show in different situations.
