Imageboard layout for topics (topic excerpts)

Marketplace

AI-generated summary

In a Marketplace discussion titled “Imageboard layout for topics (topic excerpts),” minami requests a new topic layout resembling imageboards: topics with ≤6 posts shown fully, while longer ones display only the first and last 5 posts, sorted by latest activity. An image mockup is attached. No strict deadline is given, and minami asks for a price quote to evaluate feasibility. merefield responds that such layouts are already achievable via the “Topic List Previews” theme component, citing Starzen.Space as an example, and notes the layout can be adjusted to single-column if needed. minami thanks Robert and plans to review the suggested solution.

What would you like done?

I need someone to create a new topics layout/listing, in addition to the existing “Latest” and “Top” (both of which are just sorted lists of topic titles). Something that we may call “Excerpt” or something like that.

Basically, this is the layout of imageboards: Topics with 6 or less posts are displayed as is. Topics with more than 6 posts are truncated: only the 1st and last 5 posts are displayed. Topics are arranged by latest post.

I have attached an image of how it might look like.

When do you need it done?

No particular timeline, as soon as possible.

How much would you pay to get it done?"

Please quote me a price, so I can decide if it’s worth it.

Such Topic Lists with images and excerpts are already possible, look at Topic List Previews.

Here’s an example: https://www.starzen.space

(and yes if you want you could tweak that to be one column (it’s one column on mobile), it just adjusts given the provided width).

Thanks for the reply Robert. I’m going to take a closer look at that!
