Pages SuperGrid support

[Pedro Ibáñez]

Hi,

I just updated to use the promote feature and didn't remember how to put the background with no color, help please.

@opentype after upgrade supergrid to latest version I see some issues with the plugin, for example when I set "show byline" or "use theme box" after some time those setting are without reason turned off. Just like that. I need to change them again and after some time it happens again. plugin version is 2.2.0 (10001). Previous 2.1 version works fine and settings are saving permanently. I use IPS 4.2.6 with redis.

How did you upgrade the settings plugin? If you just uploaded the new version, try removing the plugin entirely and then install it again. 
It seems to be what helped the last guy who reported something like that. 

[Qubabos]

I start from remove old plugin, remove templates, import templates again and install new version of plugin. All my settings was reverted to default ones. Again, remove plugin, install again and this two mentioned settings was reverted, but others are intact (like fallback image). Need to reinstall one more time again ? I didin't use "upload new version" feature.

[opentype]

Reverted/default would mean “on” in the case of these two settings. So seeing that after an installation would be okay. 
But you are saying they get turned off again after a while, right? Do you saw that on the front-end first? Or just in the settings itself?
Are there other admins on your site which might have changed those settings?

In any case, it’s still puzzling to me. As mentioned to the other user, the plugin just hands over settings to the IPS core. It literally doesn’t do anything itself and it doesn't write to the database, so I wouldn’t know how it should cause those settings to change or disappear.

yes, right there for start - missing theme boxes styling and without byline, next checked plugin - it's off.

nope, there are no any other users in acp

For start I think its a cache issue, cache was pruned, plugin removed and instaled again and still byline and theme boxes are missing after a while. It takes 3 to 4 hours (as today for example - i posted this issue 4 hours ago just after reinstall and set up from scratch).

I wouldn’t know what to do about that. As I said: The plugin just hands over setting names and values to the IPS core. I don’t control how these settings are handled, stored, cached …

Using it I have got to change the record box background but please how to change the article background?

Hi opentype,

It was related to my theme internal boxes, it's solved!

Would there be any scope for allowing different Hero image aspect ratios for larger and small screens? Mine's set to 40%, which is great for most screen sizes. But on mobile, that has the effect of using most of my better half's head. If I could set a default of 40% but have the option of something else for small screens, then that would be great.

(Typical example here: http://timeofftakeoff.com/holidays/2017/italy-south-2017/day-5-procida/ Watch what happens once viewed on mobile.)

I'm looking into hacking it so as not to cause you any trouble but it doesn't look possible because you're testing for the presence of the setting in the record template. It's not something written to CSS which I could override with a media query.

I understand that this is unfortunate in the specific case, but in my opinion it’s more a problem of the image itself than the aspect ratio. Not sure more aspect ratios would solve it. It might even make it worse since that could increase the problem of different cutting.

Try this -> add in your custom css

@media screen and (max-width: 767px){
.ipsGrid.ipsGrid_collapsePhone > [class*="ipsGrid_span"] {
    width:25%;
  }
.ipsUserPhoto_large img, img.ipsUserPhoto_large, .ipsUserPhoto_large:after {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    border-radius: 25px;
  }
.SG_record_right_with_image.ipsGrid_span9.ipsAreaBackground_reset{
  width:75%;
  }
.SG_card.ipsPad.ipsAreaBackground_reset.ipsType_left.ipsGrid_span6{
  width:50%;
  }
.SG_card.ipsPad.ipsAreaBackground_reset.ipsType_left.ipsGrid_span4{
  width:33%;
  }
}

Blagodarya, Adlage  That didn't quite work but it led me to an obvious solution:

@media screen and (max-width: 767px){
  .SG_record_image {
    padding-bottom: 60% !important;
  }
}

So far it seems to be behaving perfectly.

Wow, this hint that Bulgaria will enter your site too? I'm waiting for your 2018 travel book

[Mahumba]

PDF for installation doesn't open for me. Is there another way to view the installation instructions?

 

Roger

[opentype]

Can you maybe try a different PDF reader? There is nothing special about the PDF. It should open in almost any viewing app that supports PDF. 

[Mahumba]

I tried to open it in two different pdf readers. It's telling me the file is damaged. So I redownloaded supergrid and tried to open the pdf again and still doesn't open.

I got the exact same issue, I am using redis, I will turn it off and see.

[Wonster]

Would be nice to have categories like this:

Can be done?

Turned off redis, same problem. sad can not use this beautiful template.

[AlexWebsites]

Does anyone know what controls in record view to have the article text overlap the hero image with the title like below? Mine does not.

I've got some sort of conflict with 

html[dir="ltr"] .ipsGrid>[class*="ipsGrid_span"] {
    margin-top: 20px;
}

 

[SJ77]

followed instructions. I can see a database that I created and it's using supergrid for articles, listing,displa yand category.

Got to "That’s it! Open the page with your database and check the results." <-- how would I do that?

 

Trying to use this supergrid thing with fosters https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8830-feed2db-rss-feed-to-ippages-database-importer/

It's easy for a noob like me to be confused. still don't have the hang of it.

If you don’t have it in the menu yet and don’t want to type the URL, use this from ACP → Pages → Pages

[Chris59]

I would suggest to add support for 3rd party plugin category images also in supergrid ..

Thank you !

[opentype]

Makes sense. I can do that when I upgrade the templates for 4.3.
