“Show a quote (only when this article shows up in blocks that support quote and only on blocks that are on one column)”
Which blocks are these?
I can’t get the quotes to work. I pasted a quote in the post, but it did not appear>
Would like to do something like this: http://www.timeout.com/london
Instead of having an excerpt pop up under the image. Is this possible?
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately there is not a list with blocks that support quotes. The code is added in the modules and those are used to create the blocks. Every module(especially modules with big thumbs support it) that has get_quotes_on_blocks() should display quotes – http://screencast.com/t/HO5TlUuifFj and only when is used in 1 column.
For example I use the same block on 2 columns and 1 column – http://screencast.com/t/2HGDAFUzd it looks like this – http://screencast.com/t/yBhKV7BrL3N
I have added this on our list to specify in the docs what blocks support quotes.
Not sure what you mean about the excerpt under the image. We also have blocks/modules without excerpt – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-14/ or you can alter the code – http://screencast.com/t/b9ZjYbEFoeT I suggest to hire a professional developer if you want to modify the blocks/modules as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
Thanks!
I just don’t get it. Way too confusing.
I just made a custom field using ACF and called it, “blurb”, pasted in the text and added the code to td_module_11
<div class="blurb"><?php the_field('blurb', $this->post->ID); ?></div>
I then deleted
<div class="td-excerpt">
<?php echo $this->get_excerpt();?>
</div>
Would you be able to add this function into the next release? Excerpts are not good for SEO in my opinion. It’s just more duplicated copy on the home page and categories. Why not create fresh copy about your post for display?
Hi,
The quotes on blocks appear only on blocks used in one column. When you create a page using Visual Composer you can split the row – http://screencast.com/t/0wh7KX1GVs – http://screencast.com/t/fWhbPZStVwot
You can use custom fields instead of excerpt if you want this. This is how the theme was designed to display excerpt on modules, I guess it will not be changed soon(Newspaper 6 was released just for few months).
Thanks!
