News Feature

Hi @arminunruh,
I have another question concerning the "News Feature":
I added a News Elemet to my frontpage as a calendar. Now the News Elemet shows all of the posts I generated.
But I want the News Element to show just the posts that are released "today" or show just the latest post.

I could not find anything about it in the forum.
Do I have to use custom CSS or do I just overlook this option in the setting?

Edit:
We updated the site. We defined the hight of the News-Element and hid the overflow.
But it is not a very clean solution.

hey there!!
ok i will create a new option for the news element to limit the amount of news posts that are shown!

[arminunruh]

also maybe you should try and find a calendar plugin or sth like that to create a calendar

@arminunruh
Cool. That would be nice!

@arminunruh
Shure, that would have been an option. 🤪 But I wanted to try out the new feature on this small case.

We are currently building something @bbbfg wanted in the first place with projects instead of News:

Attention, it is not completely finished, we are still working on minor css improvements etc. but maybe it will give you an idea what would be possible.

@fabiandraxl Hi Fabian, the filter you've made is exactly what I'm needing for displaying images! Fantastic work. Would you mind sharing your process? Thank you.

@alasdair17

Just to give you an Idea:

We created several categories with one "Show All" over category, which is used in the project thumbnail grid. And we used the tags for the years (workaround). Afterwards we used quite some custom code mostly css to style the complete thing ...

Ah, actually, perhaps I am incorrect. Are you displaying project thumbnails with your filter? At first I thought it was non project content you were displaying.

Here is a basic example of what I meant: https://codepen.io/ozimas/pen/YydaGx

Yes, these are Projects with the Filter Options of the Project Thumbnail Grid.
