Core issue or Theme issue?
Asked Modified Viewed 871 times
asked
I am not sure if this involved the core or the theme, however we have multiple news and magazine type websites we would like to convert over to php-fusion, in order to make it easier and more secure for writers to submit stories.
However, we have been unable to get the home page to offer the same type of display we are currently using.
We want is to find a way to make the MAIN section of the home page only display news OR articles.
We have accomplished this, but we only end up with a maximum number of THREE items displayed .
Is there a way to increase the number of items displayed in the main section of the home page to 15 or 18 items such as having 3 columns of articles OR news items across and 5 or 6 rows down, in the main section of front page?
The other thing we would like find out is if there is a way to have a thumbnail image from the snippet included in the “latest news OR latest articles” that are displayed in the main section of the home page?
If anyone can tell me how we can accomplish this, I would appreciate it?
Thank You
We are using 9.03.90 and the Magazine theme

You can have Custom Templates to every area in any given Theme.
Here is an example Theme we have made that have overrides in a lot of Core sections, including home page and it has a custom news template.
https://www.php-fusion.co.uk/infusion...ost_208815
Since the base is Bootstrap, you can simply copy the templates in to your Theme and then include them in the same way we have done in theme.php ( far down ).
We have an updated version of Darkcore for latest v9 that contains some adjustments and optimizations. It will be released when our Marketplace is up again.
otherwise, you have in home.php a variable that states limit, "$limit = 3";

Thank you for the tip for the setting in the "home.php" file. That should take care of the limit problem as to how many posts or articles show up.
It may even have a clue as to how we can get thumbnail images to show up without creating a ton of svg images to use.
Thanks for the quick reply.
