socceronly Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I just want a normal list of articles like you get on the Article view, but in a block. Is there any plug in or template anywhere that won't kill your site on the next point release that does this? I really hope I am wrong, and I am just somehow missing how to do it.

socceronly Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just bought SuperList to try it out. Really nifty plug in, seems to work great. I need vertical output of db records. It just seems like such a standard thing. I don't get what I am missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socceronly Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 This seems to work well too. Can't seem to get any teaser text in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I don’t have one currently that is directly based on the article view with thumbnail and preview text. socceronly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socceronly Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Thanks. Trying out both these plug ins now. They work really well. I'll use Super Grid. Any chance teaser text would be added in a future release? I see Supertopics seems to do this, it looks fantastic. How do you buy it for use on multiple sites?

SuperGrid is images only. 9 hours ago, socceronly said: How do you buy it for use on multiple sites? No need to. socceronly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socceronly Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 I still find it very odd. Given how this system rams the listing view into the same template as the content view, then it should provide better options for listing that content in blocks. I have never used a system that does not allow you to display thumbnail, title & teaser. We need to be able to display listings of our content on the front page in a way that does not, frankly, suck.
