• I’ve created a Page called BLOG and in the Customiz’it plugin (3.0.13) section, in Front Page > Post Page I pointed it my BLOG Page. When I access this page I see my posts and they follow the Customzr style with the rounded pictures switching sides and the content on the other.

    I am to style to it feels like the ordinary blogspot style – i.e., http://murilolessa.blogspot.com, with content and page all aligned in the middle of the page but I am having a real hard time in figuring out where/how is the content of my BLOG page generated and how to work around it.. Do I need to hack in the code (I am a developer)? Do I need to only play with css?

    I would be very thankfull if someone could point me to the right directions and how to go about that.. even if it’s the case of creating a new page from scratch.. but cant really get it how the whole thing works 🙁

    Kind regards,
    Murilo

  • This snippet will show you the selectors you need to change. Also a php filter which as a developer you would be better off with.

    Extend the php part of that snippet to (something like):

    add_filter( 'tc_post_list_layout', 'my_post_list_layout');
    function my_post_list_layout() {
    	return array(
       'content'           => 'row-fluid span6 offset3',
       'thumb'             => 'row fluid span4 offset4',
       'show_thumb_first'  => false,
       'alternate'         => false
    	);
    }

    All based on the 2.3.2 bootstrap’s scaffolding. Check there to understand the spans.

    There’s something odd going on between 480px and 767px. You’ll have to look at the styling and fix it up. If I get time (not very likely right now, unfortunately), I’ll try to figure out why.

    Thank you SO MUCH! I now know how to figure out the rest. Very much appreciated the support guys, cheers!! A last question, is it a simple process to update my Customizr without loosing my configuration and settings? Can I just drop the new version over the older one?? 🙂

    Have you all a great weekend.

    Best regards,
    Murilo

    That’s the beauty of filters and hooks: they will almost certainly still be there in the next version, which means they should work fine. (Much better than copying chunks of code yourself and then having them decay. Or worse, breaking the theme.)

    I keep an eye on them as I upgrade, though, as new features may be introduced that you want to take advantage of, or the array might change, for example, in the case above.

    A good file-contents search app is useful. In the case of the code above, tc_post_list_layout leads to class-content-post-list.php which in turn leads you via post_list_layout to class-fire-init.php, where you’ll find the array above.

    Take a look at the site rdellconsulting linked to above. There are lots of examples there.

    Yes it’s simple to upgrade, but if you make badly-executed customizations, sometimes things can break a bit as Nicolas gets over excited with new features 🙂 This is generally because people (wrongly) make changes by copying reams of code over into their child themes and making mods. The interfaces between the modules change and it breaks. But if you use hooks and filters you should be fine.

    I’ve installed Bitnami (from the app store (free I think)) and there are alternatives like MAMP and WAMP, all of which allow you to run locally so you can test stuff out first (and fully and easily search the application folder, which you often can’t do easily with FTP).

    Good luck!
