A modification of the Featured Tiles theme component. Displays featured topics in a row of flip cards:
As the cards shouldn’t get too big or too small, the component uses breakpoints for different window dimensions. It basically shows two cards on mobile, four on tablet and five or six on desktop. You should at least feature six topics.
In any case, it’s more fun if you have some more and use the randomize feature:
Any chance for a square crop option? It doesn’t look great with different aspect ratios, or maybe a blurred version of the image behind it similar to what Topic Thumbnails does? Just throwing out ideas for you
Yes, it’s not set up that flexible yet. So it’s great to get some feedback about possible use cases, thanks! I’ll play around a bit with a more polished look for photos to see how to best adjust styles.
Regards more options I added adjustable settings for the aspect ratio of the cards and how thumbnails should be resized:
I can’t reproduce this on my site, but I see you have various components installed to show above the list area, and except “who’s online” none of them are displayed. Maybe look into this?
I think this is somehow a issue with safari, as since installing this the only members having issues on our forum are using safari, which it seems @Bank_Live is using also.
@Bank_Live’s site doesn’t display the component on chrome either. I don’t think that issue is related to the component, at least I can’t reproduce it.
But yes, there’s some css issues with safari and I can look into it in a week. Don’t have a mac at hand right now and can’t reproduce it on webkit on linux.
The component uses the aspect-ratio property. I thought it’s supported on Safari, but apparently only from the next release (15).
To make it work for now I added a quick fix to the settings. You’d have to add a calculated percentage and then the aspect ratio will be simulated with a CSS hack:
Can we have an Option to have this displayed on A Specific category page?
ie if viewing Lounge featured cards are shown here.
the image shown is Category Image. I am using Air Theme. Application to show featured topics related to that category from it’s subcategory Frontier news.
what is recommended image size for Card image?
This is my idea on an application to show featured topics Above a specific category of interest.
I am using Air theme. It will need to either or rather maybe have option setting to be below category logo. And if possible to have option to show in multiple selected categories.
Ie I have main Category with a couple of subcategories that I would like to showcase the News subcategory
