Lay Theme Forum

@arminunruh — AMAZING response/implementation time, and apologies from my side for not saying it sooner — T R E M E N D O U S thanks!

Yes(!)

1. to "lazyloading of images enabled" — Check: already enabled but mindful of lag-time for those with weaker connections, mobile/roaming etc + it hurts to know each thumb is nearly double the size it needs to be just because i'd like to use the Search function. Just sayin' ;)
2. to "writing it down" — Please do(!) + consider it would offer possibilities to people who would prefer a search-driven site but currently not adopting that design route due to limitations with the feature

Much appreciated.

Hello —

I’m having a bi-polar relationship with my THUMBNAIL imgs in relation to your SEARCH feature: On the one hand trying to keep file sizes to a minimum resolution that display nicely across my site, however end up with an unacceptable low-image-res in the 4-col/full-width search layout; Or increasing thumb size, resulting in increased load on thumbnail-heavy pages/sections. Hmm, what to do?

Towards helping to solve this dilemma and further empowering the Search feature, I’d like to suggest the following:

1. To provide an option for specifying the # of columns on the Search page
2. To allow for a constraint of the max-width of the Search page

Crossing fingers you’ll consider it. I’d love to see the Search function empowered more as it’s a sweet way towards minimising filtering(+) components on a page. Note: the forum yielded no results or issues along this line from what i could find; of course, open to any workarounds/suggestions if I’ve missed something.

Many thanks again, U.

@arminunruh — and thank you! (says “she” ;))
I was blind, but now i see — helpful redundancies all around! Once you see it you can't unsee it. Bravo. Keep on keepin'on with the great work you're doing at LAY and tremendous thanks for the excellent support. Smiles!

@alasdair17 — thank you!
I see it now. I had looked in the top toolbar and somehow completely missed it in the side menu. Apologies for the inconvenience and many thanks for the quick reply/instruction. All best.

Hey LAY!

Your ELEMENT GRID is such a welcome/useful utility but could also be such A MORE POWERFUL TOOL if images within would also link to posts(!)

Possible?

In an intuitive world the viewer should be able to click on the image directly to link thru, especially when using the element grid in conjunction with basic images on a page (which actually can/do link(!)) … otherwise it's a confusing landscape to merge the two and so even the basic affordance/function gets scrapped out of necessity. Note: I'm currently adding an extra sidebar of link-text details (it's ok, but not an elegant solution + distracting from flow) + i did try and adapt my working grid to a larger divisible number so that on that page there could be more columns to work with but unfortunately the system wouldn't allow it (prob. related to responsive + margin/gutter combo (?)) Unfortunately, I'm already too invested in current layout to rethink this component hence the sidebar strategy.

In summary: what i love about your template is that it it's clean, flexible, user-friendly, intuitive and efficient. To those ends, I hope you'll consider this suggestion.

Kindest thanks, U.

just updated newest plugin and all works brilliantly again — yes!

Tremendous thanks to the community to help raise awareness + support for this issue. :)

@arminunruh SUPERSTAR
