articles from differnet sections and different categories ?

Post by hanott »

hi, I'm searching a solution which combines your RAXO All Mode PRO & RAXO Module Template - All-mode Rational.

I have to display on one 3-column-mainbody
(1)
a combination of articles from different sections and different categories.
(2)
The articles should be sorted depending on their category:
One column - articles descending date (dd-mm-yyyy),
other columns - articles ascending date.
(3)
Article limitation should be depending on the shortest column
/ or collapsing the column with less articles than the other category.

To imagine the layout:
Always left side are holiday event offers (actual upcoming first),
always right side product offers (newest first).


** Is this possible with your 2 products ? **

I've read it many times and still not sure what you mean.
It would be helpful if you send us a link to a similar site or a screenshot.
1. you can choose either categories or sections; or IDs of any articles from various sections/categories.
2.
The articles should be sorted depending on their category:
One column - articles descending date (dd-mm-yyyy),
other columns - articles ascending date.
please, explain
3. Intro limitations can be done by characters (note: words won't be cut) so the length of texts will be the same.
Don't understand this:
or collapsing the column with less articles than the other category.
and this:
Always left side are holiday event offers (actual upcoming first),
always right side product offers (newest first).
Please, send us a screenshot.

Your image and explanations are understandable.
I've quickly recreated your situation on my test site - see the images.
1. I used 2 module copies and built-in templates default and column
example01 (basic).png
2. I used 2 module copies: 1 basic template (default) and 1 additional "All-mode Rational" (http://raxo.org/additional-templates.html)
example02 (basic+rational).png
All displayed data are contents of the article. Also the one or two (to max. three) thumnail-pictures.
I say it again. The module uses the first image in the article to make 1 thumbnail (not 2 or 3).
"Order here" and "Subscribe here" are only Links. They may be content in the article, or be generated depending on the article's category. They must have variable data from the article.

The module displays whatever you have in the article. If you change information in the article - it will be changed in the module also (because it's the same content).

Hope this helps.
