It’s your theme which is overriding lots of stuff without need. Try putting that in the custom.css .SG_record_image { background-size: cover !important; background-position: center center !important; }

If you are looking for a live demo, the use on this page looks quite nice I think. It also uses the category plugin as suggested.

Two requests for this in a couple of day … Interesting! I have a look at creating Pages block templates for displaying forum posts the SuperGrid way. Look out for a “SuperTopics” product on the Marketplace in a couple of days. ;-)

Have you turned showing the title on the plugin settings?

Pages → [Your Database] → Fields. If you are unsure about Pages features, please check IPS’s official guides: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/how-to-use-ips-community-suite/first-steps/terminology-r7/

It’s an additional database field using the “badge” display option.

Looks like you got it working in the meantime. As mentioned, an image needs to be uploaded to the Record Image field. Attachment images for the articles are not used in any way by the templates.

Yeah, it’s a bug in the current IPS release. It’s known. Pretty sure it will be fixed in 4.2.3.

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}}

Yes, its this way in the stock templates as well. I didn’t change these things.

Support topic for the Pages Superdocs templates.

I don’t intend to touch that. So you would be on your own figuring out how to do it.

Looks like you are showing lots of fields in the listing view. It’s not meant for that. You should turn them all off for the listing view and make sure that each entry has a Record_Image.

Yes. 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.)

You would add DukenNL in your case. No URL, no @. Just the handle.

Is there a toggle in the widget settings to control it?

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”. That’s a core feature. I don’t intent to interfere with that.

You can add a fallback image in the SuperGrid settings to appear in the listing views without having to upload it again and again for each article. That’s all I can offer. Picking the record image is a feature of the core IPS software. I cannot change that. You would have to recommend more options to IPS if you want to reuse existing images for example.

Yes, that is intentional. The fallback image is only used for the grid view, where “empty” slots wouldn’t look good. It’s not supposed to show in the display template.

So if you empty the custom.css, the SuperGrid styling starts working? Then its definitely not a SuperGrid problem. Your CSS is probably just malformed.

I wouldn’t know how to help further with that here in the support ticket. Your site isn’t calling the CSS from the plugin. Could be a problem in your theme templates or something like that. You could try to install it again on a new stock theme for your account and see if it works then. That would narrow down the problem or exclude the theme as potential problem.

No. It’s called ADD members, not INVITE. It’s not an invite. Its forcing members into the club. And that’s what you said you don’t want. ☞ The invite is an IPS core function, not related to the plugin. It works just like you want it. ☞

Already there:

I ask again: Have you installed the settings PLUGIN? You said, you are coming from 1.1 which didn’t have that. Now the CSS in embedded in the plugin and activated automatically on the system level.

The CSS for SuperGrid is missing altogether. Make sure the latest plugin is installed (not just the templates) and that there are no problems in your other CSS files like the custom.css.
