Hello
I have a doubt about the featured image. I have created a smart list where I have 10 pictures, but I would like to choose another picture as featured image. I have checked it, but when I introduce a featured image, it is displayed on top of the post, and I just want it displayed on the blocks, not in the article itself.
How I could introduce it without display it on the top of the smart list?
Thanks
Hello Albert,
If you want to do not have the featured image displayed on the post when you are using the smart list, you have to use post template style 5 because this type of template is just recommended for smart list because does not show the featured image on the post, as you can see in our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-lists/
Thank you for the message!
Hello
Ok, I understand. But, if I don´t choose any featured image with smart list 2, which picture will be displayed by default on blocks? I would like to use smart list 2 in this case. Could I choose any of my smart list pictures as a featured image?
Thanks
Hello Albert,
Please notice that you can choose what image you want to featured image but if you want to use default template style for your post template and the featured image is an image from your smart list, you will have twice image, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/iliRl8CTWWbU -> http://screencast.com/t/9yt2w4bB and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/Jig4ZLaAk5A -> http://screencast.com/t/GEbbN2vq
I hope that you were understood the functionality of featured image -> if you want to avoid this repetition, you have to use post style 5.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello
It´s ok. Thanks for your detailed explanation, but what image appears on blocks when I haven´t a featured image set on smart list 2 or whatever post? Probably it´s a simple question, I have read all documentation about it, but I don´t know exactly how it works.
For example, if the first picture in the smart list 2 is showed on blocks or not. (not having choosing any featured image).
Thanks
In addition to the last post, I have tried to change to smart list 5, but it already inserts a top image on post. I don´t know exactly the reason. I could insert a featured image previously but now it doesn´t work.
– If I don´t insert any featured picture, I can see that any picture is displayed on blocks. In theme panel, I have activated placeholder image and it shows a gray space without image, and if I deactivate this option, a blank space is shown.
– Is it possible to display a normal post image on blocks? (Without any featured image)
Thanks
Hello Albert,
Please notice that if you not set the featured image from your editor, you will not have displayed the featured image on your blocks. Any smart list you use, the featured image have to be set it manually from the editor. Please notice that smart list and post template is 2 different things. The Smartlist is part of post template. As you can see in our documentation, we have a lot of post templates, each with different characteristics (post template default, style 1, style 2, and so on…) The post template style 5 is the single one that does not display the featured image on the top of the post and because of this is recommended to be used for the smart list to avoid the duplication image. You have to use without problem the smart list 2 or smart list 5 with the post template style 5 set it from editor, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/2PsHrz92VVR
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hello Catalin
I have understood now perfectly. I was wrong about the difference between post template style and smart list style, that was exactly my mistake. It helps me a lot.
Thanks
