cafeboricua Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Hi Steve. I get a blank page with the error EX0Knowing what error you got might help someone to come up with solution
jaeitee Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Hi Steve. I get a blank page with the error EX0I can confirm I experience the same error.*fixed* make sure you select correct template type when creating. I applied it to my existing template which was not created using Featured Records. Edited July 13, 2015 by N4H fixed
jaeitee Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Well ignore my above solution, that's incorrect. Error EX0 returns on reload. Is there a way to see what's causing this error?It happens on a fresh template when I add :{{if count($articles)}} <div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'> {{foreach $articles as $id => $record}} <div class='ipsGrid_span6'> {template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="article_grid" params="$record, $database"} </div> {{endforeach}} </div> {{endif}}If I remove the above line and revert it to the original the page works again.
Knux0r Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 It works if you copy and paste just the changes, not the whole section of code. For some reason when you do that the </section> turns red and throws errors. If you add: <div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'> <div class='ipsGrid_span6'> </div> </div> around the existing code it seems to work fine.
xert77 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 @Ralf Herrmann Would it be possible to change the title of this thread? Perhaps to something that shows this thread is informative. I didn't expect so much information to be provided on how to improve the look of pages.

Tiki Tiki Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 And a bonus for all those who want the 2x1x1 layout from 3.4 – use this instead: This is a great start! Thanks! How would one go about producing smaller record image thumbnails for the older articles in the grid below the full-width latest article? Likewise, what if you want to use a smaller font for the titles in the grid?
Joel R Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 And regarding the grid view for article listings: while that is not a default option, it only needs a small template change, since a responsive grid is already in the CSS. So to have a grid view for articles: 1. Add a custom database template in the Pages’ template manager. Make sure it’s of the type “Featured Records”. Also make sure you assign it to your article database. Also call it “Article Grid” (that name is later used in the code). 2. Open the “index” template of this newly created template group. Replace this part: {{if count($articles)}} {{foreach $articles as $id => $record}} {template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="article_grid" params="$record, $database"} {{endforeach}} {{endif}} With this: {{if count($articles)}} <div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'> {{foreach $articles as $id => $record}} <div class='ipsGrid_span6'> {template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="article_grid" params="$record, $database"} </div> {{endforeach}} </div> {{endif}} That’s it. Your articles are now displayed as a grid which automatically collapses on smaller screen. And a bonus for all those who want the 2x1x1 layout from 3.4 – use this instead: {{if count($articles)}} <div class='ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone'> {{foreach $articles as $id => $record}} {{if ($id == 0)}} <div class='ipsGrid_span12'> {{else}}<div class='ipsGrid_span6'> {{endif}} {template="entry" app="cms" location="database" group="article_grid" params="$record, $database"} </div> {{endforeach}} </div> {{endif}} I'd like to nominate this post for being the "Mind-Blowing Informative Post of the Month" and to suggest this gets saved to documentation. tAPir and craigf136 2
ZakRhyno Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the feedback, Danny. You are certainly right about the documentation. Pages has it’s own structure and logic of modules and without proper documentation it can be be a struggle to understand it and get good results. And lastly, where are those “tons” of forum questions about Pages with 0 replies? If the questions are understandable and can be answered with reasonable effort, I keep answering them for months. There is only 4 help docs out or Pages. Were the be more coming sooner than later like a week are to not months? Edited July 28, 2015 by ZakRhyno
Ralf Herrmann Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 There is only 4 help docs out or Pages. There are actually more, but they are being reviewed and finished. So expect more articles very soon. Lou Adducci, Ausy and craigf136 3
kar3n2 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 oh god I just bought the pages but I wish I hadn't now. I saw it used on a site and it looked fab but seeing this little lot it sounds awful. Just have to cut my losses I guess as I'm not going to spend hours of my time trying to work all this out.

Just have to cut my losses I guess as I'm not going to spend hours of my time trying to work all this out. Ip.Pages is honestly one of the better purchases you can make with IPS. If you'd like a full blown website built around your forum community, Pages is not bad. It could be better admittedly for non-technical admins but once you start using it you'll recognize its intrinsic power. kar3n2 1

GoAncestry Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 There are some fixes coming in 4.0.12 and then more feature improvements in the early September timeframe. These may make things much better for you to integrate Pages. I was a heavy user of IP.Content and have struggled so far with Pages, but I want to hold out some optimism for the upcoming releases and then determine what path is best for me to work with. I think Pages will get there, and I am just hoping I don't have to customize everything to get the functionality I am hoping for.
kar3n2 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 hi @steve00 saw your videos on pages part one and two very helpful thanks
Ralf Herrmann Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 they don't really think about us little persons who need step by step instructions do they?We will provide step by step instruction for all the the main functionalities and modules of Pages. Just give us a little time. Feel free to tell us where you are struggling at the moment. This helps us to make the documentation better.
GrooveOnBeat Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Documentation aside (which is a very good thing it's in the works ), will IPS start to support Pages when a help ticket is submitted?
Ralf Herrmann Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 … will IPS start to support Pages when a help ticket is submitted?I don’t understand. Can you clarify?
steve00 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 hi @steve00 saw your videos on pages part one and two very helpful thanks Glad you liked If tutorials help people then am happy with that kar3n2 1
GrooveOnBeat Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I don’t understand. Can you clarify? Sure. I asked about template logic to call a field in Pages, but received a reply that customization (code and design) is outside the scope of technical support. So I asked in the forum and you helped me with it, I believe it was your first reply as IPS staff. Conditionals/template logic have been documented by IPS staff in the past and it was a way to help developers to do things in Pages (at the time Content). All I wanted was this: {$record->field_x}
Ralf Herrmann Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 I asked about template logic to call a field in Pages, but received a reply that customization (code and design) is outside the scope of technical support. That will always be the case and is not related to whether it’s about Pages or any other app. If you need to modify templates, you can be sure that this falls under customization and will be out of the scope of the support – even if it might be a question that is easy to answer.

I figured as much. I got the answer in the forums so I'm happy.

I know the saying - "when its ready" - anyway - could you give a closer estimate on the timeframe for the documentation? This month? Marius 1
