Skip+ 5 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 Hello I'm experimenting with the PL5 in attempting to recreate the website built with DMS and Voyant theme. Notice the switch and the way it is used with DMS & Voyant in the section 2 Our Process and right below starting with 1- The Idea and so on... https://www.trueblueauctions.com With PL5 attempting to duplicate the page here - http://www.trueblueauctions.com/beta/ I'm trying to use the "switch" Extension to make it the same but can't quite figure out how. Any ideas? Much thanks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nandorj78+ 8 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 Hi, how did you managed to create the blog posts to show in boxes like that? any plugin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skip+ 5 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 Not sure what you are asking nandorj78... The original website (https://www.trueblueauctions.com) I built with DMS and the one I'm experimenting on with PL5 (http://www.trueblueauctions.com/beta/) to see if I can re-create it with PL5. I like some of the things PL5 does but I personally want at the very least the same and then much more than what I have with DMS do I figured I would try to re-create the website with PL5. I'd be happy to pass on to you what I did with the original website. I used DMS and the Voyant theme. If you want to know any specifics, please ask... I'm happy to share...

Skip+ 5 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 nandorj78, I know what you are asking now... I used plugin "hover news" - I hid the author, categories and date. I used category style 1 and grid format. Hope it helps... All the best of Providence. Skip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nandorj78+ 8 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 Are you sure the name of the plugin is 'hover news'? Couldn't find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin_+ 56 Report post Posted December 10, 2015 Hover News was a 3rd party plugin not a PL plugin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nandorj78+ 8 Report post Posted December 11, 2015 Oh I see... I was actually looking for it in wodpress.org Thank you, @Skip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nandorj78+ 8 Report post Posted December 11, 2015 Btw, do you know any free plugin that would do similar things? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skip+ 5 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 Nandorj78+, I can't say that I do... I wish I did but the problems I'm finding so far is that PL5 maybe fast and easy and that is great but it does not provide the same as DMS yet... I hope that it does but can't tell yet... I personally don't like excuses called, "bloat" or whatever they want to providing plugins and whatnot needed to make it simple and easy for us... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin_+ 56 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 Hover News was a plugin I built for DMS. It was not very popular so at this stage I am not thinking about making it for PL5 - sorry. I am writing a TUT on how you can get the effect using CSS though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may not have been popular Gavin, but it worked like a charm & worked very well on my sites. You do good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
