Joel R Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 For grid view on Forums, allow background cover photos. https://chevereto.com/community/ This looks gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas James Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 @opentype Sir, I've seen your Super plugins and plan to buy a couple of them soon as they are fantastic! Can you please make such Forum Grid Background Cover plugin for IPS 4.3 as the OP mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas the one I asked is regarding the Forum Index Page Grid View as the OP posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie LAC Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 4 minutes ago, Lucas James said: the Forum Index Page On the index also displays forums. If you have a cover photo for Pre-Sales Questions you can add it. It's css changes! 13 minutes ago, Lucas James said: I have that plugin but it only works with Forum Cover.

Lucas James Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks. But there should be a dedicated plugin or settings for Forum Grid Cover Image to avoid manual custom.css edits. Sure, I will ask @onlyME. But I like @opentype such plugins (though they are for Pages only) which gives a much beautiful look. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas James Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 @onlyME says he's busy and can't take custom work now. Hopeful if someone could make it for IPS Marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamamura Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I'm not sure that the background images for Grid View would be very useful (especially in the examples above). But in any case currently Grid View is very primitive and uncomfortable. I would like this view mode to be something like this — https://forums.macrumors.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that's related to grid view and my request for custom grid backgrounds. Thank you @newbie LAC for the reminder to @onlyME though.

Ocean West Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 i dislike the way grid view works, truncates too much text - i'd much rather have the Our Pick style cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the screenshot of grid view for your FNF file. Masonry style for a forum index is an interesting concept though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean West Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Nothing wraps properly, and long forum names all get truncated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel R Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Just now, Ocean West said: Nothing wraps properly, and long forum names all get truncated.. Oh. That's because your forum icons are big. Try to make them the same size as the IPS defaults, I think when I was making mine they were either 32x32 or 48x48. I see what you mean by long forum titles not wrapping.

opentype Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I agree with newbie LAC: If onlyME already has the functionality of uploading forum-specific images, then the use in the grid-view is best added to this plugin instead of building something fron scratch.

The Old Man Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The text can be hard to read though. I'd suggest maybe a 1px border around the Font to differentiate against some of the background image colours. Thanks for the tip Joel, I love grid view in forums but don't use it because of the text being truncated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
