Featured / sticky post

Hi,

Here is current Big Grid 1 layout

View post on imgur.com

The filter is set to ‘Latest’

Is there anyway it could show 1 or 2 stick/featured articles, then sort the remaining blocks to latest?

Publishers might want to sticky a main / breaking news to the first thing to read but the rest of the articles can then follow the normal ‘sort by latest’

Thanks
Curt

Hello Curt!

There is no option to do this with the big grid 1 element.
A workaround here can be to use multiple flex block elements. Follow the steps:
1. Add a new row where you need to build the block design: https://app.screencast.com/yVjrEEYjri0Rr
2. Add flex blocks like this: https://app.screencast.com/e9993FopPnvCn
3. First module should be like this: https://app.screencast.com/eVYiMkOtTrJ4e and you can style it as you like, adding other paddings and hide the elements you do not like to appear there.
4. This is the distance between the modules in the row’s settings: https://app.screencast.com/OX0NOq0nJZY2w
5. Add an inner row in the second column: https://app.screencast.com/om6T2QtzkS5Sr and add a flex block in every column as here at point 2.
6. Duplicate the inner row: https://app.screencast.com/q12l2CEIgWUaL, so you will have 4 modules as in the big grid 1 layout.
7. You can change the filter of every module or use an offset value. Read more about it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/
8. We have a feature that will never let a post to be displayed twice on a page. Check it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles/
9. To be “sticky”, you can specify the post ID for every module. Please note that you can use only one filter and not multiple ones.

I hope that helps you!

Thank you!

Hi,

The settings are the same https://i.imgur.com/aseopIE.jpeg. The gap can also be on the column -> https://i.imgur.com/yt3AVck.png

Are you able to send here the raw example sourcecode/shortcode for this block to put in the Sourceview in the page, please?

Hi mbrckn,

Unfortunately this will not work, at least not entirely, because each user has different categories, so in you case if there are some filters set will not display anything, but if you want I can provide a code that will display the elements without filter apply on it, or you can use Bettina steps to create one.

Thank you!
