I have installed the new "blocks". but where is it ?
I use WPbakery aswell but i was looking for a solusion to create a view och collage of custom posttypes.
Can i do this ?

#1624567

To create a collage view for your posttype, continue with the view creation wizard from your screenshot. First, choose the styles, that's the correct style from your screenshot. Then choose the posttype(s), then add blocks to the view loop section and customize your view block query on the right sidebar.

Im sorry, my "screenshot" is your image from your webpage. I couldnt find the function / Builder after i installed the block.

#1624645

Please check what Editing experience you are activating in Toolset->Settings->General.

A link to use the block editor should appear on your edit screens for views and content templates.

Otherwise, please elaborate more on what is blocking you. Provide screenshots or a screencast(using loom, or screencastify). Maybe provide access to your website and explain what you would like to build.

I have "order" as a slug. (i think field-order) but that does not work

#1625215

But now i need to do the "inner contet" (whole post div) to be clickable and maybe some animation on hover

Awesome 🙂

I set your next reply as private to let you share credentials safely.

Please give as many details about your view/content template/page/url. As I do not know your website, it will be hard for me to guess which is which. Preferably, use steps like this:
1. I go to ...
2. I do ...
3. I do ...
4. I expect to have ...
5. Instead, I get ...

#1625579

Thank you for the credentials and the details.

I wonder if this is what you are looking for hidden link
Basically:
1. Browse the content template blocks from the block navigation.
2. Select the view block.
3. Go to the block settings.
4. Select the desired limit.
You can also change order, filters, and various settings for the view from the view block.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

#1625597

YES! Thank you! that was exactly the settings i was looking for!!!

I see you are editing so i try later.

Did you also see the other issues i have ?

#1625621

My apologies if I missed something, but I am not sure what other problems, can you elaborate more?

#1625625

The testpage im testing where the view to appare with a shotrcode:
- I have used this "{!{wpv-view name='n3'}!}" (I use WPbakery)
It shows, but strange layout. Its looking wrong. Why?

URL front-end: hidden link
But it looks strange on front-end as you can see. ( i like to have the view on my startpage thou and not as an archive)

#1625713

I believe that WPBakery uses some Javascript techniques to render part of the view inside the WPBakery editor, which causes styling issues for the internal collage layout from Toolset.

I inserted the content template instead of the view,using the view_template attribute, and it seems to work 🙂

{!{wpv-post-body view_template='news1'}!}

https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views/views-shortcodes/#vf-153372

This was safe, because the content template does not display something from its context(the post to be rendered), during testing you have use "Mitt konto". But if the template needed a post/context, you can use the "item" attribute and pass it the id of a post. More reading here https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views/views-shortcodes/item-attribute/

I hope this helps. Let me know your feedback.

#1625741

Ibtried this before withoout wpbakery. Only wordpress editor. It also was wrong with the layout then.
If you like to debug later 🙂

Ill try your fix soon 🙂

Happy weekend!
