mixing newsgirl and project thumbnails

[bb_daniel]

Hey @arminunruh,

we are looking for a solution to combine NEWS and PROJECT THUMBNAILS in one grid (ordered by their publication date). Unfortunately it's not possible to combine them using the element gird (because you can't choose single NEWS).

Alternatively I´m looking for a code that mixes up the content of a news grid and a thumbnail grid (ordered by their publication date). I played around with some custom code using .append() to move the elements but I can't find the right parameter to sort them correctly.

Do you guys maybe have a solution for that problem?

Best, Daniel

ooh, lay theme doesnt support that sorry! :/

basically you want to put news post thumbnails into an elementgrid, and also put project thumbnails into an elementgrid?

so basically here, you want to have a +news button?

i would need to code that, but this solution wouldn't automatically make it sorted by date

@arminunruh Thanks for your reply. Having a +news button within the Element Grid would be a sweet alternative. Would that be easy for you to implement?

this would take some time, i added it to my todolist, but im not sure when i would have time for this

@arminunruh
thanks, I found a way to mix and reorganize both elements with a custom jQuery. Unfortunately when using "newpageshown" the script only fires after the page has rendered. So there is a short moment where the elements jump from one state to the other.

Is there another way to make a custom code fire, before the page has rendered?

Thanks, Daniel

you can try the event 'newpage'
or the event 'before_content_replacement'

not sure if it will work

maybe this

window.laytheme.on('before_content_replacement', function(){

setTimeout(function(){
console.log('hi')
// your code here
}, 0)

})
