Flex blocks in widgets

Posted in: Newspaper

I’m transitioning a site away from using the Standard Pack and instead using the Cloud Templates.

Under the older version, TagDiv widgets could be used on a post template to display more posts related to the post. For example, in the right-hand column of a post (that has X categorization) the widget would display 3 other articles from X category. Using this same template (and an additional widget), I could display 3 articles from category Y on a post that’s categorized as Y.

Under the Cloud Templates, the only way I can figure out how to do this is to create a Post Template for every category. That’s a lot more time consuming on the development end, and an extra step for the content producer.

Is there a way to use widgets on a template that can leverage the filtering ability as before?

Hello !

You could setup the widget sidebar element that will pull whatever you want from Appearance – Widgets: https://www.screencast.com/t/V5eM00kA

Let me know the result !

Thank you !

Thanks, I did start using that method and it works pretty good.

I was looking for the flexibility of adding something like a Flex Box to a widget and then controlling the visibility. It looks like that’s not available.
