Let me provide some examples, because I think they will help explain how you would manage this border different ways. If you want to place the borders around some element like a View, wrap that View in a div with the border class. If you don't want to wrap the entire View in a border, but you want to wrap some results in that div in a border, put the div around the results in the loop. If you want to wrap only some items in a border, use conditional HTML.
Example with border around the entire View:
<div class="border-rounded-view">
[wpv-view name="Your View Name"]
</div>
Example with border around each individual result in the View (this is inside the Loop editor):
<wpv-loop>
<div class="border-rounded-view">
// everything you want inside a border goes here
</div>
</wpv-loop>
Border around only some results in the View, based on whether or not a custom field on that post is equal to 1 (this is inside the Loop editor):
<wpv-loop>
[wpv-conditional if="($(wpcf-field-slug) eq '1')"]
<div class="border-rounded-view">
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="($(wpcf-field-slug) ne '1')"]
<div class="no-border-here-please">
[/wpv-conditional]
everything in the result goes here, regardless of whether or not the border should display
</div>
[/wpv-conditional]
</wpv-loop>
Clearly this request was toooooo much to ask.
This didn't work
<div class="border-rounded-view">
[wpv-view name="Your View Name"]
</div>
I didn't even bother with the conditional stuff.
I have spent about 2 weeks on this 1 task alone. You know what did work. Using my theme. I was able to put a border around the container I put the view in, complete with rounded corners.
it took all of a 1/2 hour to figure out how to round the corners.
Done.
Although I love how toolset can put one thing in a thousand places there are times when it is no longer worth trying to get something to work. I know I am not the only one who had this issue with bootstrap cuz I've been doing A LOT of research. The problem is nothing works. I just don't think it was asking for too much. Might be something to add to the list of things to make possible for 1 and for do a bit easier.
Thank you anyway I'll be tackling that search either tonight or tomorrow, I sure hope that isn't asking for too much.
