Many thanks

Also is there a way to fix the height of blocks pulling in content as we have 4 on here, two side by side

Block's height is a matter of block's settings. how many records, or if you choose to have description for them. but if you using Page Builder for you landing page, there is an option that helps to have more aligned design.

It would be good if we could truncate titles and text so they look uniform.

It's possible. I will add new option for this in next release.

Hi,

I have just installed this and the block title is not showing

Hello,

Individual title sections in blocks is being removed from templates in favor of plugin's settings, which itself works with "Page Builder" Template. There you can name every section with or without custom links.

Another question,

On the calendar block how would we change either the background or the numbers so the date shows properly?

Please see here:

Thanks

Your Theme > Edit HTML and CSS > CSS > pageslegendblocks.css > find this class:

.legend_GOT_ipsCalendarDate {
    background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8) !important;
    border-radius: 0 0 3px 0;
}

change it to:

.legend_GOT_ipsCalendarDate {
    background: rgba(130, 130, 130, 0.8) !important;
    border-radius: 0 0 3px 0;
}

Hi @shahed

Can you explain / show screenshots for what this plugin does on mobile?  

Hello,

Plugin works only in Desktop. IPS itself have something similar in mobile, so plugin just hide in those devices.

Hi Chris,

As you well know, with Pages app you can do more than just making pages. you can create static pages, databases and categories for storing articles, records, photos... and also you can create individual blocks and widget to use throughout your community. Legend news is mainly created to work with Pages "databases". you can change the look in areas like Frontpages, categories and articles in your database.

Legend blocks however is not about that. it's a series of templates for making widgets and blocks in pages app. for example you can create blocks in pages app for recent topics, recent posts, recent files and ... then use one of many Legend blocks templates at the end as their skin. then use IPS widget manager to drag and drop them in your front-end. sidebar area, top or bottom of your website.

I hope it's help.

Hi,

We previously set up a Wiki for our site using MediaWiki. Unfortunately due to lack of integration with IPS it never really came to life.  However the idea itself is still a good one for our community. As such, I was just wondering if it would be possible to use IPS Pages as a type of Wiki? Ideally we'd have a user group set up to restrict access to chosen contributors (who may not be tech savvy) rather than it being possible for everyone to edit it.

Cheers

Rich

@CanalWorld

There is also a "Wiki markup" plugin in Marketplace. with this plugin, you can use some of Mediawiki markups in your article.

Purchased this, but silly question - do I create a block from the templates?

And can this render designated topics?  I want 3 topics to be highlighted at the top of my forum.

Thank you for your assistance

You should create blocks, with Pages app's block management and based on your block type, choose one of the Legend Blocks templates at the end.

In your case, you should create a "Topic feed" block. in the options, I believe you have settings for number of topics and rate, views... as filters.

I created a block from a topic feed and used the legend horizontal topic card 2 and tried to implement and it did not show anything.

You should pick a legend block template, based on your block type. different templates may work with different type of blocks (like post feed template for topic feed block) but it doesn't give you best experience.

Scratch my last two posts. I figured it out, but where does it pull the image from?  Is there a way to have a static image?

Glad to hear it.

For topic feeds, template picks images based on "Attachments" inside of topic's posts. but you can set a default Image via plugin setting (plugins > legend blocks > Default image). this image will be display only to those topics that doesn't have any image attachments in their posts.

Plugin and Templates are now updated:

1.- Added css code to custom.css of my active theme, but no change.

2.- The link /video/tv/view/7-asi/ was just as a reference to see how the page blocks of my theme appears in other sections of my site.

3. Just seen that clicking any article I'm getting error

1. If CSS lines wont affect, it perhaps because of caching.

2. I see, but I can't see any block. perhaps you restrict it's permission to view.

3. Current DB working fine. it appear you use template in another database?

Anyway it's appear I have to investigate it further in your website. Please send me the details in a personal message.

Just bought it. Installation was easy as a piece of cake. I just have a small design issue, maybe I missed a setting.

1.- https://www.diziask.com/magazino/

Block background is white. Does not has template's background

2.- https://www.diziask.com/magazino/aglama-anne-r2/

Here the background is correct but that part on the bottom of image is white opacity, while it must be template's color with opacity.

Thank you

No, currently there is no background and text color setting for those cards, but I will make them soon in the next version. until then, use these lines in your "theme > custom.css"

.legend_card_container {
    background-color: #1d1d23;
}
.legend_title {
    background: rgba(34, 35, 44, 0.5);
}
.legend_PageHeader {
    background: rgba(34, 35, 44, 0.5);
}
.legend_autor_stuff::after {
    border-bottom: 140px solid rgba(34, 35, 44, 0.5);
}

Also I think that in article view the text block is a bit different. Not like in your demo. Is full container width and does not use the block like here:

https://www.diziask.com/video/tv/view/7-asi/

This page is not built by Legend News, I'm also won't see your block in anywhere. based on the manual have you create the block?

Thank you for your reply. Just an advice. Use "Quote" when replying so the poster will be informed. Didn't got any notification, and all by luck, when I came here to buy something else, I found that you've replied almost immediately.  Not all users are following all topics where they post.

Good point. Thank you.

Sorry, my bad, I should post in your other resource, Legend blocks

You also can ask pre-purchase questions with PM. best to use support topics for just supporting a resource.

Hi, this plugin contains blocks with multilanguage ability? Example, a block that let me place a redirect picture, or a topic feed, but according language it will show the selected topic feed record. 

Or in case only redirect picture block, in my case are 3 languages, according the member language show the picture related. 

Hello,

I'm afraid "Legend News" doesn't have any stand alone widgets/blocks. it's give users multiple "templates" to use for Page's databases, categories and record views. it does have some "block templates" but they can be use when you create a block with Pages block management tools.

Hi,

1. Yes, just like IPS default style, pagination exist in Front page and Category page. you can use IPS setting (Pages > Database settings) for the number of records in one page.

2. Yes, IF you choose to use it with normal IPS-Wrapper. in this case you basically can do anything just like when you do with IPS default style.

• For making Frontpage I also suggest to use this plugin.

Hi,

It seems you are using Mac for this test. I don't have mac for it so I send you a PM.

Hi,

I checked with Firefox / Windows 10 but I can't see slow performance. it's Identical in both Firefox and chrome in my review. can you show me in video or something?

With this plugin, you can make anchor very simple and easy.

just type in editor:

==anchor==

and save your article.

@shahed does this integrate with Blogs? in any way?

You mean as "Pages block > Blog feed"?

Considering that my IPS license was expired that time, it's now renewed and I believe purchase is available now.

You can't purchase the file? Don't  know why, I have Download button. I'll ask around about that.

I've since deleted the plugin and templates so I can't take this any further.

I understand.

If you decided to use them again, I'm up for looking into that. Image section uses more than one primary CSS classes, because it's like 40 templates. based on the template grid size (2/3/4 ... in one row) most of them normally works as display as cover, which is instantly can be modified (like full image in wider templates) based on individual needs. it's mainly designed for IPS default theme but I have experience with reported problems with 3rd party custom themes. even in these cases, I helped to fix their templates based on those custom themes. this is what supporting means anyway. I could do the same here or create entirely new templates based on your need. but it seems, you doesn't up to this and I'm respect that. 🙂

Yeah, I added a default image but that looked terrible too - sorry. 

It doesn't suppose to be terrible at all, and if you have image (or something Like Links of a live page ?!) about that, I can look into it. in other word, I should fix this imaginary problem.

Again I need a link, But about the gaps, seems you didn't upload any Image as attachments to any of your topics. For this scenario, you can define and set an URL address in plugin's "Default image" setting.

I really appreciate your efforts but they are just not for me in this state.

Support is open, at any time, if you want blocks and templates like the Demo. I hope you saw that before purchase the template anyway.
