Hi guys,

I'd like to create a menu-link which lists all posts in a grid pattern (let's say 3x3), without changing my blog-main page (listing the articles in a single column). I used the module "EasyBlog - Latest Blogs Module" and included it into an article. Please see attached image. This fits almost all my needs. However, as i hope to write 1.000 posts in future i'm wondering if there is an pagination possible? Additionally: If there was a wish-day...maybe such an grid-layout (including pagination) could be added as a menu-category.

Just for information, I checked the Nickel-Theme. But as there is no 1-column choice at all, my main page shows a multi-column view as well, without any chance, switching back to my lovely one-column "Wireframe"- Theme.

Many thanx!
Marcel
Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

I'd like to create a menu-link which lists all posts in a grid pattern (let's say 3x3), without changing my blog-main page (listing the articles in a single column).

Unfortunately currently we do not have pagination for latest blog post module at this point of time.

Just for information, I checked the Nickel-Theme. But as there is no 1-column choice at all, my main page shows a multi-column view as well, without any chance, switching back to my lovely one-column "Wireframe"- Theme.

The reason why the Nickel theme do not have 1-columns choice is because if display 1 columns it actually exactly same with other theme for display 1 columns layout. If you would like to use Nickel theme to display 1 columns, I can provide you a quick hack for this.

Hello Arlex,

Thanks for youn quick replay!
The tweak would be really cool. Because then i can use my lovely one column design for my main page and create another view with 3 columns as main-page of the Nickel Theme has a pagination.

Thanks Marcel

Hello Arlex,

nice tweak. Bacically exactly what i need. However, the thing is that the Nickel Thema always takes the same pagination values (number of visible posts) from the backend setting. Therefore my "All Posts" link (perfectely would be 3x4 posts) shows exactly the number of posts as my mainpage shows (7). If this could be fixed with a little tweak it would be great. Otherwise i definitely don't expect you to do so, because i know it's always effort.

Thanx
Marcel

Thanx Marcel
