The plugin can’t be installed twice. The templates, yes, but I wouldn’t really know why. Not perfectly sure what you are referring to. I guess that’s an additional field in your article database? Just open the settings of that field and turn off its display in the listing view.

No. You better stay on the previous version then. (Or at least keep the old templates as customized versions.) If you are skilled with CSS you could also override some of the Plugin settings on the specific pages. There are already so many settings. I don’t want to complicate it too much. So even though I get there could be a need to manage different instances with different settings, I don’t really want to do that, since that probably isn’t how most clients use it. But good point nevertheless. I add a note about the unified settings to release notes.

I am happy to announce SuperGrid 2.0 with these changes: New SuperGrid Plugin. No more copy and paste and editing settings in 5 different templates. All templates were recreated so all settings and the CSS are now part of a plugin. Much easier to use and upgrade! SuperGrid Horizontal Block! By popular request: The block template now has the full functionality of the database listing template. Create database feed widgets with the 3x3 SuperGrid layout and put them anywhere on your site. The possibilities are endless! For example: Create an engaging SuperGrid homepage with multiple SuperGrid widgets as horizontal and/or vertical blocks. Or: Show 3/6/9… featured/recent/popular articles below or above your articles. Improved Record View on Mobile By popular request: The record view template has been improved, so the avatar and the article/author information now adopt to the screen width and don’t take up as much space as before. Make sure to follow the upgrade instructions in the PDF if you are upgrading. You need to fully remove SuperGrid 1.x first and the installation process for 2.0 has changed (i.e. made easier) as well. Also: The new settings are now unified and independent from specific templates. So you cannot install the templates multiple times anymore and use different settings for each template set as you could with SuperGrid 1.x. All instances will use the same settings in SuperGrid 2.x.

That’s fine. Looks like it is working, but you don’t have record images (or a manually set fallback image) and your theme deactivated the color differences which normally creates the visual boxes for each entry.

Okay, I corrected the PDF for the next version. My design app wanted to be clever and use curly quotes and in that typeface the difference wasn’t visible. Replace the ” with " and it should work.

Then your IMG HTML code is wrong. But you would need to show me the original description or the actual site so I can see what it might be. The examples above use the wrong quotes. ” instead of ". Maybe it’s related to that.

Just go by the included instruction PDF. It’s all explained in there. Pages is an IPS app and a requirement to use Pages templates like SuperGrid/SuperHelp. If you don’t have it yet, SuperHelp will be worthless.

You can set the permissions per category if you want. So yes, that’s doable. You can move the categories via drag and drop in the ACP as with any Pages database. That allows you a quick and easy reordering of the FAQ categories. The records themselves are ordered through the Pages database settings. You can add an ordering field to the database if you need better control. The installation PDFs gives some tips about that.

Okay, needs a little more strength to override the theme settings: .SG_record_right_with_image { background-color: #FFF !important; }

What’s the URL of that site?

The default background color is missing or set to transparent in your theme. You can override it in your custom.css so it looks right again: .SG_record_right_with_image { background-color: #FFF; }

can you post a screenshot of the section you are referring to? If you mean the sub categories which can have records with the step counter list, then no – they will always be left-aligned, because the lists need to be left aligned and a centered headline over that left-aligned list just looks terrible. I actually started putting in that option, but then removed it again after seeing the result. ;-)

I know, it’s easy to overlook, but the instruction PDF has a page 2. It’s explained there.

Again: please open a new topic. The content of your pages and the support for a template set are different things.

That isn’t really possible, since it’s just HTML templates. There is no programming code in there that has the ability to delete anything. I would suggest to either open a support ticket with IPS to check out these “blank pages” or to open another forum topic and explain in more detail what you are seeing. The description “blank pages” doesn’t say much about what is going on and what might be the cause.

There is some CSS on your site (from your theme?) which overrides background stylings. Quick fix: Go to the SuperGrid CSS styling for .SG_image_container_sidebar in custom.css and change: background-size: cover; to background-size: cover !important;

You can. It was added as default option in SuperGrid 1.1.

Integration with Twitter Cards
In the Pages template your database uses for the “record view”. It isn’t. It’s an application of the Twitter code. You can’t just paste the Twitter code. It’s just an example. The fields need to be populated with the dynamic content from the database record. Also, don’t just copy my code above. That’s also just an example. My Pages template include Twitter card support. You don’t need to do anything else than add your Twitter handle to the template.

How to embed iframes
If the iFrames need to be only used by admins, then the mentioned method of turning on HTML in posts and allowing the iFrame base is the way to go. If the regular members also should be able to add iFrames, then in addition to allowing the iFrame base, you can create a new editor button for the specific external service. You can then safely let users paste a URL or a media ID and the button creates the embedding HTML snippet.

In the future, please ask first to clarify what the intended functionality is and how one can set it up. What you describe here isn’t true and it is not helpful to make false statements in the support topic and cause unnecessary confusion among existing and future customers. There is no sub-category view. There is a front page view and a listing view. Both have their own settings. So if you visit a (sub-) category, you can of course have clickable thumbnail (resolution) images there, if both are options are turned on for the listing view and you make sure that you are using the latest templates. The other two points are a matter of opinion. You are free to have yours, but that doesn’t mean there is a lack of “refinement for a paid script” on my part.

Please be more specific. What does “doesn’t work” mean exactly?
