The Opal live demo pages show content in the Main Body position, for example the football page, on the left side for example the football page

But how do I put any articles in the “Main Body”?

Each article has a Section and a Category – but I just want several different articles to be placed in the main body – just like the Opal Football page.

Thanks.

Go create a Category.
Create 5 articles and assign to that category
Once Done , Go create a Menu with “Category Blog Layout” and select the category in the right column of the Menu Edit page.

Thats it. For your Reference check the attached images

Thank you. I see that if I put an image at the top of the article, the image is cropped in the Category Blog Page. Can the image crop or resize be controlled? Is it possible to have for an article, one image for the blog page, and a different image for the article page? Thank you again.

Image1:

To resize the image in the screenshot 1 – image1

Go to this File : templatesja_opalhtmlcom_contentcategoryblog.php


//Leading image size
$this->imageWidth = 310;
$this->imageHeight =230;


Image 2:

To resize the image in the screenshot 1 – image2

Go to this File : templatesja_opalhtmlcom_contentcategoryblog.php


//intro image size
$this->imageWidth = 185;
$this->imageHeight = 115;


——————————————————————-
you can’t set one image for the blog page and a different image for the article page

since the code functionality is about getting the first image in the content to be shown in the blog page and the same in article page.

Thanks. I think I need to set the Article/Parameters advanced/Intro Text to “Hide”. Then I will put a different image below the “read more” section of the article. For the blog intro section, I will create the correct size image so it will not be cropped or resized.
