Layout for Articles Category module

hpalevratzis

Hi. I am setting up a website with JA Vitality Template. I want to create a menu where I will show articles grouped by category whith different number of columns in each category (3 or 4 cols). So I chose to create a menu with feature articles type and assign a number of Articles-category modules, one for each category. The problem is that the layout options that I have do not include the "Blog2" layout that used to be in JA Uber in T3 framework or something close to it, so that I can create the standard grid layout for blogs. The only options that exist are "list" and "highlight".
Is there some php file for this layout I can copy to the template or perhaps some other alternative?
Thank you in advance.

Hi hpalevratzis,
I have checked and see that the "Blog2" layout in the Uber template shows 2 columns, and the List layout in the JA Vitality template is the same as the "Blog2" layout.
You can duplicate the \templates\ja_vitality\html\mod_articles_category\list.php file to custom.
or could you let me know the layout you want, we will check and help you customize it.

Hi dominic
Actually the blog2 columns number can be set parametrically through the JA Extra Fields tab of the module. This tab does not exist in JA Vitality. Furthermore, the layout of the outcome is completely different (see screenshots)

So, it needs a lot of work to modify the php file of list layout, which I will do, unless there is already such a file I could reuse.
Thank you

Hi dominic again
I eventually copied and used the blog.php from JA Stark template and works ok for the moment.
Thank you
