Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
July 29, 20177 yr A question or two if I may. We're now using SuperGrid on www.smartphonegurus.com as you can see here: When we hit a title (link) we get: The problem is that linked page only has the content on the first half of the page, as you can see here. Ideally for us we'd love to have: A fix to the above so that the entire page width is used. As we use the system to post a copy of the article into the forum the possibility of linking to that post instead of back to the article. I can understand if 2) is not possible but I'd love to fix 1). I've looked through all the settings and I can't see anything that might affect the width. Oh, I have reverted the entire site back to the standard IPS theme but that didn't help. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You probably have your page (on which you placed the database) set to “2 columns” and placed the database in one of those. That’s why half of the page is empty. So change the settings of your page to “1 column”. Quote As we use the system to post a copy of the article into the forum the possibility of linking to that post instead of back to the article. That’s a core feature. I don’t intent to interfere with that. Edited July 29, 20177 yr by opentype
July 29, 20177 yr Thanks for the swift reply. 1) is fixed, it threw me that the 2 column template was assigned in a different page than the one I was using which is block driven. Thanks. On 2) I don't want to change the core of the system, just I'd prefer to link to the topic instead of the article?

Your CSS is probably just malformed. You were right, the problem was if this line, that had the code to avoid css reading... /* GOOGLE AD CODE FOR RESPONSIVE ADS */ @media (max-width: 500px) { .adslot_1 { display: none !important; } } /*
August 5, 20177 yr Hi, a quick "nooby" question. What is the "twitter handle" ? If you add a Twitter handle and the record has an image, a Twitter Card will be created Should i add my id @dukennl? or twitter url like: https://twitter.com/DukenNL ? Thnx

Thnx You would add DukenNL in your case. No URL, no @. Just the handle. Edited August 5, 20177 yr by opentype
August 5, 20177 yr Ah ha good to know, I'll take the @ out of there. Might be worth mentioning it in the configuration docs
August 6, 20177 yr SOLVED - PLEASE IGNORE i've just installed this, and trying to figure out how it works. 1st question, where do i add a featured image for a new page, in order for it to display as the page image in the grid? Edited August 6, 20177 yr by Steph Jensen figured it out - sorry!
August 10, 20177 yr Hi, I'm new to the platform and to SuperGrid, so may have overlooked something obvious here. Problem: Here a screen grab of one of my articles (although the problem affects them all). The image is blurred as you can see and is using the following image, shown natural size, as a source: How can I control this? Is there a setting somewhere that I've missed? Many thanks, Chris

In the SuperGrid Plugin settings you can choose to use thumbnails or the full-size images. (Another and possibly better option might be to increase the thumbnail image size in your Pages database settings. But that will only affect future uploads, not existing articles.)

August 13, 20177 yr Made some minor customizations and I'm very happy with the result. In mobile though, would it be possible to show this buttons inline instead of stacked? Edited August 13, 20177 yr by -FP

August 16, 20177 yr Hi, The Mobile View of my site is missing the "Add Article" . Was that intentional? Thanks, Steve K.

August 16, 20177 yr Yep. The default templates hide the usual add button for smaller screens but produce another one at the bottom of the page, using code like this {{if ! \IPS\Request::i()->isAjax() AND ! isset( \IPS\Request::i()->advancedSearchForm ) AND $category->show_records}} <ul class="ipsToolList ipsToolList_horizontal ipsClearfix ipsSpacer_both ipsResponsive_showPhone ipsResponsive_block"> {{if $category->can('add')}} <li class='ipsToolList_primaryAction'> <a class="ipsButton ipsButton_medium ipsButton_important ipsButton_fullWidth" href="{$category->url()->setQueryString( array( 'do' => 'form', 'd' => \IPS\cms\Databases\Dispatcher::i()->databaseId ) )}">{lang="cms_add_new_record_button" sprintf="\IPS\cms\Databases::load( $category->database_id )->recordWord( 1 )"}</a> </li> {{endif}} {{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}} <li> <a class="ipsButton ipsButton_medium ipsButton_fullWidth ipsButton_link" href="{$category->url()->setQueryString( 'do', 'markRead' )->csrf()}"><i class="fa fa-check"></i> {lang="cms_mark_read"}</a> </li> {{endif}} </ul> {{endif}} in categoryFooter.
August 17, 20177 yr Author Yeah, there is something wrong there. I changed it locally and it will be in the next update. It’s too minor to release a new version though. Just paste this in the SuperGrid category footer template: {{if ! \IPS\Request::i()->isAjax() AND ! isset( \IPS\Request::i()->advancedSearchForm ) AND $category->show_records}} <ul class="ipsToolList ipsToolList_horizontal ipsClearfix ipsSpacer_both ipsResponsive_showPhone ipsResponsive_block"> {{if $category->can('add')}} <li class='ipsToolList_primaryAction'> <a class="ipsButton ipsButton_medium ipsButton_important ipsButton_fullWidth" href="{$category->url()->setQueryString( array( 'do' => 'form', 'd' => \IPS\cms\Databases\Dispatcher::i()->databaseId ) )}">{lang="cms_add_new_record_button" sprintf="\IPS\cms\Databases::load( $category->database_id )->recordWord( 1 )"}</a> </li> {{endif}} {{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}} <li> <a class="ipsButton ipsButton_medium ipsButton_fullWidth ipsButton_link" href="{$category->url()->setQueryString( 'do', 'markRead' )->csrf()}"><i class="fa fa-check"></i> {lang="cms_mark_read"}</a> </li> {{endif}} </ul> {{endif}} {{if !\IPS\Request::i()->advancedSearchForm}} <div class="ipsResponsive_showPhone ipsResponsive_block ipsSpacer ipsSpacer_both ipsClearfix"> {template="follow" app="core" group="global" params="'cms','categories' . $category->database_id, $category->_id, \IPS\cms\Records::containerFollowerCount( $category )"} </div> {{endif}}
August 17, 20177 yr I just updated to 4.2.2 and it looks great when using the default template. However, when using my custom template, because it uses the same IPS classes, I am having layout issues between box spacing, borders, profile image alignment, etc. Is it possible to add a custom css just for this or create a custom css file and have it reference that? EDIT, I just saw where there is a box theme setting to use classes or not. I am creating a pages css file and including that to overwrite some of my layout issues with my custom theme.

August 17, 20177 yr Pages > Page Management > Templates Navigate to Supergrid Listing, then categoryFooter. I've confused myself now, though; my template contains that snippet. I suppose I might have added it yesterday when I became aware.
August 25, 20177 yr Hi, Just bought this so a newbie to it I have created my first interview article and included photo with it here - https://www.walkingfootball.com/interviews/walkingfootballplayers/interview-with-tom-cowan-r1/ But the main page is using my fallback image instead of interview image as per here https://www.walkingfootball.com/interviews/ What am I doing wrong?
