Customize portfolio layout in Blask?

  • mcthfg · Member ·

    Hey all – new to programming wp sites, but hoping someone can help.

    Working on this layout – http://test.spacific.net/ – and I want to make sure the portfolio is organized by date published. Right now, they are mostly organized, but then sometimes display randomly, when the width of the page is changed.

    I’m using Blask, and have tried code to change the layout, but not having any luck.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi,

    See the topic Re-ordering portfolio projects, particularly the post by staff member @dcoleonline in which he says:

    Blask uses a Javascript library called Masonry which automatically fits the portfolio images together to maintain the grid. On my test, I added portfolios without images, so they were all the same size on the front page. This made them appear in reverse chronological order because their size/shape meant that the grid didn’t have to reposition them to fit nicely.

    However with images of mixed sizes/shapes, the grid’s logic takes over to decide where to put each image. So in this case, it isn’t possible to force the order by using the date if the featured images for portfolios vary in their size/shape.

    Also, the site http://test.spacific.net/ is not a WordPress.com site, so WordPress.com support pages may not be relevant, and this forum may not be the appropriate place to submit support requests regarding that site.

    This support forum is primarily for issues regarding WordPress.com accounts and websites, and not for issues regarding self-hosted sites such as yours. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are different versions of WordPress, with different support forums. See the WordPress.com and WordPress.org support page.

    Support requests regarding self-hosted WordPress.org sites should ordinarily be posted to the WordPress.org support forums. If you haven’t already done so, you can register here: https://wordpress.org/support/register.php, to use the WordPress.org support forums.

    musicdoc1 – thanks for pointing to David’s post that explains how Blask fits together its grid.

    mcthfg – If you have any further questions about Blask, please do post in its specific WordPress.org forum, rather than the general WordPress.org support forum, where we’re not likely to see it.
