    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.

    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.

    I'd just like to gush my thanks for creating these templates. I pretty much purchased IPS because I loved their Guides section so much and was very disappointed to discover that their guide to how to make guides didn't exist. I'd been making do without them but I'm so happy to have been able to move my content over to this format. So thank you so much!!!

    Okay, needs a little more strength to override the theme settings:

    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.

    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.

    @opentype Thanks for offering this into the Marketplace.  I'm about to get this up and running in less than 3 minutes; your instructions were very helpful.
    Note: If anybody is using the application "Advanced Tags & Prefixes" by @Ryan H., you will need to disable the application first in order to save SuperHelp's templates to the database.  Then after saving, enable the application.  This is a known problem with Advanced Tags & Prefixes.
    Another Note: This really does work better with a mix of sub-categories and records.  The layout is much better.  
    Questions:
    Category Images.  I'm able to get the record image to work on my articles, but not sure where I upload the category image??  I've looked through all tabs of the category settings, and do not see anything.  This would be your "Apple Watch" photo or the "2 Mac computers" in your Marketplace listing's screenshot.   Suggestions:
    Customize fa-icon per category.  I don't really use steps in my help database, so I've defaulted to the fa-information icon.  It can be kind of bland when it's the same fa-icon for every category.   Suggestions on wording: In the language for the Plugin settings, I'd like to suggest changes to the language string to make it more clear: Frontpage: Category Title / Description Alignment Frontpage: Subcategory Title / Description Alignment Listing: Category Title / Description Alignment.

    Sounds like a case for customization for a specific site. Since there is no “category image field” or anything like that which I could call from the template, it’s not something I can support in a “general use template”.

    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.

    Pages SuperGrid is a set of Pages templates and a complete solution to make your Pages databases (with articles, directories and so on) appealing and engaging. 
    What’s needed: 
    IPS 4.1 in its most recent version with the Pages application A pages databases that uses the stock Record Image field and has images with a sufficient resolution uploaded through that field. 
    (Technically, the templates also work without images, but it’s an image-centered design and works best when most or all records have images.) Which templates are included:
    A beautiful grid-based Front Page template with two records featured at the top — for when your database is set to article mode. A beautiful grid-based Listing template replacing the dull forum listing design — for when you open a category or have a database without categories. A unique Record View template with a large header image — for when you open a specific record. A category listing template – in case you use more than one category.  2 Bonus Features included: 
    Twitter Card support! Yes, you read that correctly! The SuperGrid record view template adds Twitter Card support to your records. You just have to provide your Twitter handle. Tweets with images have a significantly higher click rate and with Pages SuperGrid any link to an article in your database (which has a record image) will automatically get a beautiful Twitter Card like this:

    Block template! Create blocks anywhere on your site – pointing to your database – and make them as beautiful as the database itself. A block template with options is included in the package.

    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.
