Hi,

Is there a way that you can show an selected post in a module.
I want to show two selected post next to each other on the home page.

The random module is unfortunately no solution if there is no option for a single post.

Regards, Perry.
Hello Perry,

I am really sorry but I don't really have an idea of what you are referring to here. Can you please elaborate more on this please?

Hi Mark,

Oke, I'll be more specific. I'm referring to this topic: http://stackideas.com/forums/two-colums-on-homepage
I try to do the same thing but I prefer to use modules.

So I found EasyBlog Latest Blogs, but I want to select / order the post instead of the latest (per category) so I can be more in control witch two items I show on the home page.

It's more a layout issue that so it seems can not be solved with Themes (the is no two column layout)

Hope this will help.

Regards, Perry

Hello Perry,

Hm, I don't think you could achieve this out of the box but if you can publish the module on your site and provide me with the link to the page, I could craft out some css codes to display the module in 2 columns.

Hi Mark,

I managed to get the preferred layout so far:
http://www.rioned.com/

Maybe I come back when we have more entries to manage.
For now this will do.

Hi Mark,

I'm back because the solution I came up with doens work with multiple enties.
As you see no at http://www.rioned.com/ we show the latest two entries,
but we want them next to each other.

It would be great to do this with parameters (like K2) but if you have any suggestions for CSS styling, do please.
Will this also bee responsive like the template.

Regards, Perry

Hello Perry,

Hm, when I access http://www.rioned.com/en/ I only see 2 entries on the front page. Am I missing anything here?

Hi Perry,

I learned that you planned to give your blog at http://www.rioned.com under Dutch language to be in 2 columns.

I tried to access your site but somehow your shared access is not working.

Below is the code to make the module item to be display in half, with 30px spacing between them. Please place them in this CSS file: /templates/rioned/styles/toolbars/css/style.css at the bottom of your source code for your future reference.
.ezb-mod.ezblog-latestpoststyle-blank * {
box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
}

.ezb-mod.ezblog-latestpoststyle-blank .ezb-mod{
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 -15px;
}

.ezb-mod.ezblog-latestpoststyle-blank .ezb-mod .mod-item{
float: left;
width: 50%;
padding: 0 15px !important;
}

Hope this will help, please advice and let us know if you need further assistance. Thank you

Hi Ikram,

This does the job!

I added this as well for additional styling:

.ezb-mod .mod-item + .mod-item {
border-top: none;
margin: 0px 0 0 !important;
}

Thanx for the quick response and excellent service.

Regards, Perry
