GetSimple Support Forum

Hi community!

I was just wondering, what would be "best practice" to handle a layout-generator like Isotope/Wookmark/Vgrids in GetSimple. Maybe someone did use one of those in conjunction with a Blog/News plugin and could give me some advice. I'm rather new to GetSimple but quite ok with CSS/HTML derivates/JS.

Thanks & all the best,

Depends, you can simply use a gallery plugin to output a list and target it with jquery to reformat it.

Or for content, you could use a single page for all your content, or write a component that grabs specific pages by tag or whatnot, and add that component to your template to grid it.

You really have to have a design of what you want to do to figure out how to break it down.

hoi shawn!

..yeah, i wasn't very specific about the whole project. I think, i will go with one of the news/blog components and try to generate a really clean output to feed it through the layouter.

That would work, gs blog lets you customize the output you can wrap them in your grid tags.

that sounds perfect..
