Tile view for Blogs

Hi all,

 

I noticed the Lithium blog page shows the blogs in tile format. Screen Shot 2015-05-13 at 12.11.26 PM.png

 

Is there a setting to get the same results? This is not the default style of the blogs currently. I noticed the html has class references to 'tile' added to them. 

 

Thanks

    Hi danaebaldwin 

     

    yes - as VarunGrazitti mentioned this is a customized version of the blog, using Masonry. There is also a TKB article that walks you trough the process of getting a basic similar styling, see here , completed with code samples and istructions.

     

    I hope this helps. If you change your blog, it would be great to see what it looks like when it's done!

     

    Cheers,

  • Yes, that is a cool way of implementing the tiles, but we wanted to make them configurable from the admin, along with the ability to have featured threads displayed with them so we wrote some custom code and generated the cards using FTL on the server side.

    Sure, that is also possible. The TKB example just gives an idea on how you could implement it but it can be done in a more configurable way with custom components as you mention. I guess it depends on the expertise of the people involved in the customization as well!
