I modified the first one, but you should modify the second one to make that number less. The third one, please paste as is.</p> <p>1) You can change the 20 to whatever you want. right now it is at 0.<br /> <pre><code>#top .post-entry img { padding-bottom: 20px !important; }</code></pre> <p>2) Right now the distance between each blog post is 50px as is shown below, please change that to what you like.<br /> <pre><code>#top.page .post-entry { padding-bottom: 50px !important; }</code></pre> <p>3)<br /> <pre><code>#top .sidebar_left .template-blog .blog-meta { float: left !important; margin: 0 0 0 0px !important; }</code></pre> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-97185 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 08:19:14 +0000 siobhan13 97185@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Nick, </p> <p>Thanks for the new code. It works perfectly!</p> <p>I put the php in front of the excerpt code that you gave by mistake. Do I need to add it somewhere else as well or leave it as the new code seems to be working fine?</p> <p>Also...<br /> 1. I would like to create more of a space between the image and the title of the blog post.<br /> 2. I would like to lessen the gaps between the blog posts as they are quite far apart.<br /> 3. We have a secondary blog in our Help Centre with a few blog posts like this one here <a href="http://etool.net.au/support/40_release_notes/etool-again-leading-building-lca-software-2/" rel="nofollow">http://etool.net.au/support/40_release_notes/etool-again-leading-building-lca-software-2/</a>. I haven't added the image headers yet, but the meta data is still looking odd with a longer line underneath than above.</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p> <p>Many thanks,<br /> Siobhan </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-96855 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 01:02:19 +0000 Nick 96855@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Upload seems to work, though you didnt show the upload text box after you saved the page. If the image url is still there that's fine. The problem is that the code that is supposed to execute the image instead gets displayed on the page as though it is text. </p> <p>Please delete the code I gave you before, and in its place, please paste this<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php $blog_feature_image1 = get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, &#39;nick_featured-image-blog&#39;, true); if(isset($blog_feature_image1) &amp;&amp; $blog_feature_image1) { echo &#39;&lt;img src=&quot;&#39;.$blog_feature_image1.&#39;&quot; width=&quot;618&quot; height=&quot;177&quot; &gt;&#39;; } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>I could see in your video, that you did not add the &lt;?php to the start of the code and ?&gt; at the end of the code. Please do this, and things will start working again. Thanks for the video.</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-96646 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 03:07:54 +0000 siobhan13 96646@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Nick, </p> <p>1. I've updated with the additional PHP beginnings and endings and looks fine now.</p> <p>2. CSS worked as well and the meta data is much neater.</p> <p>3. Thanks a lot for doing the screen-cast - I've made one to show you how I've been doing it (same as you did in the video) but the outcome is not the same.<br /> The image still isn't showing up on the blog or post pages. Obviously there is nothing wrong with the code you've written as it works on your example :), but this is why I'm thinking there is a code conflict in my edited theme.<br /> Here is the screen-cast <a href="http://www.screencast.com/t/Cv7z10k3d" rel="nofollow">http://www.screencast.com/t/Cv7z10k3d</a></p> <p>Let me know what you think.</p> <p>Thanks, Siobhan </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-96571 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:32:04 +0000 Nick 96571@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>For this page &gt; <a href="http://etool.net.au/eblog/" rel="nofollow">http://etool.net.au/eblog/</a> Your line numbers and mine must not match in file loop-index.php. Would you put this in front of the code I gave you inside loop-index.php<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php</code></pre> <p>and this behind the code I gave your previously<br /> <pre><code>?&gt;</code></pre> <p>2&gt; Here is the css for the meta location, and please add it to the end of the custom.css file or to Quick CSS:<br /> <pre><code>#top .small_image .blog-meta { width: 610px !important; }</code></pre> <p>3&gt; Here is a screen-cast I made for you showing the process. <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hqGBMSfHtKZlUydlIzX1NnYkE/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hqGBMSfHtKZlUydlIzX1NnYkE/edit?usp=sharing</a>\</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-96441 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:17:03 +0000 siobhan13 96441@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Nick, </p> <p>Thanks for all your help :)</p> <p>1. I've added the excerpt code in, replacing this line which worked fine - the_content(__('Read more &rarr;','avia_framework')); </p> <p>2. For the meta data, space and line issue, here is how it looks for me <a href="http://i.imgur.com/inPvaeq.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/inPvaeq.png</a></p> <p>3. I've clicked "Insert Into Post" and the URL isn't showing in the box (same as before) but if I click Link URL and then insert into post, the link shows in the box. However after hitting update post, the image isn't showing on the blog homepage or individual post page, just the code and an image box.</p> <p>As I mentioned I also cannot add media into the post through the usual "insert into post" way which is why I'm thinking there might be a conflict somewhere.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks, Siobhan </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-96375 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:03:36 +0000 Nick 96375@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Code on pastebin is fine since I created and tested it out locally before pasting it there. Please add the code back.</p> <p>1) To get the excerpt on blog list page please find the code in /includes/loop-index.php which looks like (around line 119)<br /> <pre><code>if(has_tag() &amp;&amp; is_single())</code></pre> <p>and add the code below *before* that line<br /> <pre><code>if(is_single()){ the_content(__(&#39;Read more →&#39;,&#39;avia_framework&#39;)); }else{ the_excerpt(); }</code></pre> <p>2. Please provide an illustration, pointing to what you are referring to.<br /> 3) Have you clicked the ''Insert into Post' after selecting and uploading the image?<br /> 4 &amp; 5) You need to first correctly add the image in step 3 . Please look at this image, and notice the Insert into Post button, that is the button you need to click when adding a blog image.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-96314 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:40:54 +0000 siobhan13 96314@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Nick, </p> <p>I've taken the Code for line 15 out so that it doesn't show on the blog page, but I've also noticed that when I try to add pictures normally inside the blog post it's not inserting them.</p> <p>It's going through the motions, but not image is showing. Maybe something wrong with the code from Pastebin? <a href="http://pastebin.com/7tWgQUKb" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/7tWgQUKb</a></p> <p>Hope you have a fix I can use!</p> <p>Thanks, Siobhan </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-96091 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:23:07 +0000 siobhan13 96091@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Nick, </p> <p>Thanks for you help.</p> <p>I've followed the steps above and have encountered a few problems...<br /> 1. The blog landing page is still showing full blog posts instead of extracts - <a href="http://etool.net.au/eblog/" rel="nofollow">http://etool.net.au/eblog/</a><br /> 2. The meta data is still looking odd, there is a lot of white space between the bits of information and the bottom line of the data is longer than the top line.<br /> 3. Once I added the code, the additional upload field appeared in the post editing section but when I added a picture, the URL didn't show. I tried adding a few different images, in gallery, media library and from my computer but nothing happened.<br /> 4. So the images aren't showing up on the blog landing page or individual page just boxes where it should be.<br /> 5. Code is also showing up next to where the image is supposed to be - would this still be there if an image was attached?</p> <p>I think having the large 618x177 image would be fine with the post extract on the blog landing page instead of a small featured image. Just need a bit more help to fix the issues please!</p> <p>Do you think it could be a conflict in the CSS or loop-index.PHP? I have followed a number of other support threads and made some changes so that might be the problem...</p> <p>Thanks, Siobhan </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-95915 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 00:00:08 +0000 Nick 95915@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>To fix the meta data please add this to Quick CSS located in the backend Corona &gt; Theme Options &gt; Styling ... text area at thethe bottom of the page.; or you can also add it to your /css/custom.css file .<br /> <pre><code>#top .small_image .blog-meta{float: left;}</code></pre> <p>----Images</p> <p>I think there may be a temporary issue with the blog images. Here is a quick workaround.</p> <p>1) Please add the code from this page to the bottom of your functions.php file <a href="http://pastebin.com/7tWgQUKb" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/7tWgQUKb</a></p> <p>2) This will create an additional upload field in your Post page. Add the images through there , making sure they are of the correct size. When you add the image you will be given 2 options to either 'use as featured image', or to insert image into post. You need to select 'Insert into Post'. When you return to the Post page, you should see a url to the image located in the images field just as you see here <a href="http://www.clipular.com/c?2046620=DlOEEqL22YZHr8Nd45sjs5hvc24" rel="nofollow">http://www.clipular.com/c?2046620=DlOEEqL22YZHr8Nd45sjs5hvc24</a> </p> <p>3) Please open /includes/loop-index.php and find line 15 which is the empty line after line 14 which looks like<br /> <pre><code>&lt;div class=&#39;post-entry&#39;&gt;</code></pre> <p>please add the code below on line 15 which is empty<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php $blog_feature_image1 = get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, &#39;nick_featured-image-blog&#39;, true); if(isset($blog_feature_image1) &amp;&amp; $blog_feature_image1) { echo &#39;&lt;img src=&quot;&#39;.$blog_feature_image1.&#39;&quot; width=&quot;618&quot; height=&quot;177&quot; &gt;&#39;; } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>Its just a patch for now, and a proper update should be out in not time at all.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dynamic-blog-template-with-neat-meta-data#post-95797 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:31:40 +0000 siobhan13 95797@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey, </p> <p>I'm trying to create a blog that has a small featured image and extract on the Blog Homepage/Landing page and then for each individual post it has two columns with two thirds blog post content and a large featured image at the top with meta data under the title and a sidebar on the right.</p> <p>There have been lots of other threads relating to editing the blog page with suggestions I have followed without success -<br /> <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/where-are-those-blog-templates" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/where-are-those-blog-templates</a></p> <p>Currently, the featured images aren't showing at all - either on the blog homepage or the post page and the metadata isn't sitting neatly under the title.<br /> <a href="http://etool.net.au/eblog/" rel="nofollow">http://etool.net.au/eblog/</a><br /> <a href="http://etool.net.au/eblog/design/how-to-design-low-carbon-buildings/" rel="nofollow">http://etool.net.au/eblog/design/how-to-design-low-carbon-buildings/</a></p> <p>The last few posts layout are set to big preview with right sidebar.</p> <p>I think I'm almost there, just need a few tweak ideas for the Loop-Index.PHP and the CSS.</p> <p>Many thanks, Siobhan </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-link-to-blog-page-template#post-90752 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 07:23:44 +0000 Ismael 90752@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>You can create a page then apply a template created on the template builder with the "blog" element on it.

This blog page does not come up as an option, as the other pages I have created with the template builder does. I am specifically speaking about the "blog" page that the theme uses as a default home page. How should I go about linking to it?</p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>Ruyan </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30526 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:53:35 +0000 daveyfifi 30526@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Let's not spend any more time or grief on this. I will use some workarounds. I will use the oldest post as a template to produce the topmost preview on the mainpage and the leftmost panel in the slider. That will be OK for my purposes and give me a little bit of needed control. I will make the rest of the slider panels pages instead of posts, and the layout control over pages is great thanks to the revised code you sent earlier. Not an ideal situation, but I need to move on to creating content. </p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30520 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 12:40:11 +0000 daveyfifi 30520@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I already have them assigned to the slider category called "slide". Am using the code you suggested to combine posts and pages in the slider. If I don't make the posts sticky (right now) only ONE of the THREE slide-category posts appears in the slider. They all show up if I make them stickies. Pages appear fine. </p> <p>Any posts that are simultaneously slide and stickies appear in reverse order. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30492 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 08:05:09 +0000 Dude 30492@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'd unsticky the posts and create a special slider category. Then assign all posts which should appear in the slider to this category. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30476 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 02:49:08 +0000 daveyfifi 30476@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>OH WOW. Deactivated ALL my plugins, and the problem still is there. It is got to be some code that I have changed somewhere along the way in one of a half dozen or so key files, probably difficult to trace or backtrack. Will have step back from this a bit and take a deep breath. *depressed look* </p> <p>Thank you for your help on this. Any ideas of where to go from here? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30474 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 02:18:57 +0000 Chris Beard 30474@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'm still thinking this is caused by one of your plugins you've installed, the normal order of the posts is from newest to oldest. Have you really tried disabling all your plugins? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30414 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:42:22 +0000 daveyfifi 30414@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yes, I have experimented with adjusting the dates, and that does not solve the problem. In the Slider and Mainpage, the posts set as stickies display in reverse order,with the lowest number on top of the previews, and at the left of the slider. I am beginning to think that the stickies arrangement is set by the post number, not the date. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30397 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:52:23 +0000 Dude 30397@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Did you try to adjust the dates of the sticky posts only. Set the publishing date of the first post in the slider to i.e. 25.10.2011 and older dates for he other sticky posts like 24.10.2011, 23.10.2011, etc. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30370 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:44:19 +0000 daveyfifi 30370@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I downloaded Admin Extender plugin and it works to reorder Posts and Pages in normal formats via drag-and-drop. Thanks for that suggestion. </p> <p>HOWEVER, what is fouling the order up in the slider and the mainpage is the fact that I have made the posts STICKIES. Making a post a stickie ignores altered creation dates and the Admin Extender plugin and displays the posts in reverse order. If I don't make a post a stickie, then it does NOT appear in the slider or mainpage, despite being in the slide category.</p> <p>Is there something I can do or add to the code that sets up Stickies to keep the order correct? I think that is the problem specifically.</p> <p>Where and how? Thanks. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30352 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 16:07:16 +0000 Dude 30352@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>That's really wired. I can only suggest to add an orderby-parameter like:<br /> <pre><code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query(&quot;cat=&quot;.$negative_cats.&quot;&amp;paged=$paged&quot;.&quot;&amp;order=ASC&amp;orderby=date&quot;);</code></pre> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30303 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:00:51 +0000 daveyfifi 30303@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>That didn't work either. This is such a weird problem. But will try the Admin Extender plugin and hope for the best.<br /> Thank you for this fine template and your continued assistance. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30238 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 02:30:48 +0000 Chris Beard 30238@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> Newscast should show your posts from newest to oldest, so your latest/newest post is showed on top. I'm uncertain how this would be reversed with your installation.<br /> Anyway, you can open up your index.php and find<br /> <code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query(&quot;cat=&quot;.$negative_cats.&quot;&amp;paged=$paged&quot;);</code><br /> replace it by<br /> <code>$additional_loop = new WP_Query(&quot;cat=&quot;.$negative_cats.&quot;&amp;paged=$paged&quot;.&quot;&amp;order=ASC&quot;);</code><br /> if this doesn't work replace the ASC by DESC.</p> <p>If this isn't working maybe you're having the exact same problem as the other guy in the topic you've linked. You can also try disabling your plugins. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30160 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 02:14:41 +0000 daveyfifi 30160@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Since this is a critical feature I need, I will take your suggestion and try the paid Admin Extender plug-in. Hope it works, and will report back on the results.</p> <p><a href="http://wpplugins.com/plugin/817/admin-extender" rel="nofollow">http://wpplugins.com/plugin/817/admin-extender</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/reverse-the-order-of-the-posts#post-30150 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 20:44:37 +0000 daveyfifi 30150@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p><a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-posts-in-reverse-order#post-22689" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/blog-posts-in-reverse-order#post-22689</a></p> <p>In the above linked thread, you gave advice for altering the blog template file (in Aviso) so that the order of the posts could be reversed.
