Have a look over here. I'm afraid it doesn't work with newer Geeklog versions.

You mean a two columns layout of the stories? http://www.geeklog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=71001
http://www.geeklog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=38522

Seems to be a feature that is being asked for every now and again.

how about create a static page and set to featured with no right block. insert the news menully in the table.

Text Formatted Code
<tr>
<th><center>Page 1 title</center></th>
<th><center>Page 2 title</center></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#ff9966" valign=top>
<ul><li>put your first news here.
<li>feature news 2.
<li>feature news 3.
<li><a href="http://yoursite.com/staticpages/index.php?page=2008101714094xxxx">feature news 3</a>
<li>news tible 4.
<li><a href="http://yoursite.com/staticpages/index.php?page=200810171354xxxx">news tible here</a>
</td>
<td bgcolor="#99CC33" valign=top>
<ul><li>Myspace

Good… this example is good, but it is not what I look for, I put as it in the image, I want to see if there is the possibility that the articles in the main page appear in the form of columns to the Joomla style but that is made automatically.

I think Geeklog can't do that way. because joomla and geeklog are difference code, form and much more. what you looking for is a new rebuild geeklog. I guess geeklog have to do some thing difference from joomla. they will not follow joomla style any way.

if you really what to use geeklog as the way joomla do. I think you have to pay for a programmer to rebuild geeklog as joomla for you. (my opinion).

I am waiting to see Geeklog 2 to see how the look.

thanks.

Hi Koalasoft,

With a hack of the index.php you could enclose the render of the first half of the stories in a div (float left and width 50%) witch will display stories on the left and for the second half another div for stories on the right.

If you have 6 stories per pages:
for story 1 to 3 > display left
for story 4 to 6 > display right

Like this, every page (page=1, page=2... topic=1, topic=2...) will be 2 colons like on Joomla.

I wonder, could it be possible to use a variable in place of the hack you made above and place the changes in the functions.php file of the theme? Cuz then this could go a long ways. All the admin would have to do is just change out that index file or make the changes in it. Then theme devs could program for that in the themes.

Just my :twocents: worth

Hi,

Another idea, if your don't want to hack the index.php file, is to make a plugin and with the function PLG_showCenterblock you could replace the entire index page.

Michael (sorry for my late response),

To replace the normal content by another in the index page and because it's not only a variable, a easy way is to get code from a hack, a static page or a plugin.

functions.php in the template folder is more for content order and template variables.

William,

This hack is working. Maybe you will have to theme the divs.

In index.php near line 317
Text Formatted Code

    // get remaining stories
       
        $storycount = 2;
        $limit = 1+((int)($nrows/2));
               
        $display .= '<div id="columnleft" style="float:left; width:48%;padding-right:10px;">';
               
    while ($A = DB_fetchArray ($result)) {
        $display .= $storycount . "/" . $nrows . ' ' . $limit;
        $story = new Story();
        $story->loadFromArray($A);
        $display .= STORY_renderArticle ($story, 'y');
        if ($storycount >= $limit)
                    break;
        $storycount++;
    }
        $display .= '</div>';
        $display .= '<div id="columnright" style="float:right; width:48%;padding-right:10px;">';
               
    while ($A = DB_fetchArray ($result)) {
        $display .= $storycount . "/" . $nrows;
        $story = new Story();
        $story->loadFromArray($A);
        $display .= STORY_renderArticle ($story, 'y');
        $storycount++;
    }

        $display .= '</div><div style="clear:both"></div>';
                       
    // get plugin center blocks that follow articles

That looks like a great hack Big Grin . Is a featured article still full width? When yes, this would be nice to make this a standard feature for GL 1.52. I'm no developer Mr. Green , but I'm sure there is a way to put this in the config. options.

Hello,

Just a little one Smile

I'm working to a new plugin call "Blocks plugin" witch allow to replace content by a block... and in a block you can put a hack. So this hack would be available if you need it.

I'm looking for some cool old php blocks and will add them to this Blocks manager plugin. There will be a place for this one too before the next media gallery release.

Maybe it's a good way to allow hacks without hacking the core.

This works great!!! Thanks for the code!

I did comment out both of these, so the story count does not show.
