REQUEST

Hi Guys,

I’m sure I am not alone when I say that a lot of the features of Newspaper 9 are great – and as soon as you can sort out the Child theme functionality it will make the management a lot easier.

However, I am sure I am also not alone when it comes to a major shortfall in the support for customisation of blocks. Blocks 9 and 10 are a traditional news snippet style, and the flexibility of the Flex blocks is also good.

However, I would like to request a detailed tutorial that shows how to replicate these blocks. The tutorial here, https://forum.tagdiv.com/developer-info/ is not of any use to someone who wants looping or to have two versions of the same block where one shows tags – courtesy of custom code – and the other doesn’t. I want to have the option to play with the page view at the design level.

Please, please, please can we get a tutorial that addresses this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Gary

Hi Simon

That is indeed great news and thanks for taking the suggestion on board. The proposed guide will absolutely blow open the creative possibilities, particularly for those who don’t have the coding skills to dig deep into the php and CSS to write new code from scratch.

Also, great news about the Child theme. I am running 9.7.2 so I presume the child theme will work with this, save the few quirks you mentioned.
