Module "Articles - Latest" number of columns and articles to display

lawyerlinguist1

Hi there,
in the module Articles - Latest for Joomla4 (template Morgan) the layout is ok if you have to display at least 4 articles, but if I have less than that, there are still 4 columns and that doesn't look nice. Please note: the same module on a J3 installation (template JaLawFirm) works fine: if you have only 2 articles to display they take up the whole space.
Can we have the same thing on the Articles - Latest module for Joomla4 - Morgan?

Thanks

Hi
Kindly share the page URL on which you published the module and issue is present.
Also provide a screenshot how you would like to show it

Hi there,
thanks, but my site is still offline.
However, you can easily check what I mean in the demo site: in the first screenshot you see how the module looks like with 4 articles, as you can see in the demo site here: https://ja-morgan.demo.joomlart.com/index.php/home/home-style-4
In the second screenshot you see how the module looks like if you set 3 articles to display: there's an empty column on the right; same with the 3rd screenshot, with 2 articles: there 2 empty columns on the right.
That would be great to have the articles taking the whole space, I mean no empty columns if there are less than 4 articles.
Is that possible?

Thanks

Hi
For this you need to edit the layout file of article latest module in the template /html folder and need to change the col-md-3 to 4 as here :

thanks,
but wouldn't it be great to have it changed dinamically when setting "Articles to Display" in the module?
So regardless if you have 4 or less articles, they take the whole space/columns.
I have many modules like these and sometimes I have 4 articles to display, sometimes less, and the number changes depending on new articles being published.
Can we have that?
Thanks.

Hi
In current stage it does not work as the custom override for article latest that has very few option by default in the Joomla as plain links.
