Display articles from different categories/subcategories

Post by apollonios »

Hello
Before I buy the RAXO All-mode PRO I would like to know if it can arrange the articles like in the picture I am attaching.
My Joomla installation is 3.6.2 and the template framework is Gantry 5.

Thanks in advance

Re: Can it display like this

Yes, this view is pretty easy to create with our module and its built-in layout Columns:
http://www.raxo.org/built-in-templates/ ... lumns.html

You'll just need to use two module copies. Then you just select in the first case category A as source of the articles, and category B in the second case. Also, you are able to change module settings (thumbnail size, number of columns, number of items, etc) independently for each module copy.

You can do it right now.
Place two module copies in one position. In the first copy display 2 articles from category X and in the second copy display 4 articles from category Y. Use the same layout in both module instances to make them look alike.

In our module, the source (from which categories) it should take articles is always clearly specified.
So your problem is solved as follows:

- In the module settings, select subcategory 1 as the source of the items you want to display. Go through the rest of the settings and do whatever you need to do until you are happy with the result.

- Then copy and create several instances of the module in Modules Manager.

- Go to the settings of each instance and all you need to do is change the source to subcategory 2, subcategory 3, etc.
