How to show all sections in front page of New Custodian theme - Newscoop Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Loan Nguyen

I used New Custodian theme and created more than 10 sections in each issue, but don't know how to show all of sections in front page which just show only 3 sections like demo.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You will have to change the theme template _tpl/more-news.tpl (you can do it Configure/Themes, choose tab with the name of your publication and then in 'actions' dropdown choose 'edit'; open 'theme templates' tab, enter subfolder _tpl, and choose template 'more-news.tpl')

Then in line

change constraints and length parameters to reflect what you want to show, or just delete whole constraints part and length settings if you want to show all sections.

Thank you, however I am still confuse about how related between list_sections length # and constraints #.
For instance I would like increase the list_section# to 6, and what is the constraints# should be input in this case? I tried with several num but the output look so bad.
Thanks....

Length tells how many list items you need - you can skip length parameter if you don't want to limit the number of results.

For constraints, you can either tell which sections to list (number smaller than 50, greater-equal 30 etc), or, if you omit constraints at all, then no conditions will be applied.

thanks you, but when I input:
{{ list_sections length="6" constraints="number greater 10" }}
The output look so bad, see the attached, could you explain and tell me how to fix it?

It's styling problem; you can solve it by changing this line

<div class="fourcol{{ if $gimme->current_sections_list->at_end }} last{{ /if }}">

into

<div class="fourcol{{ if $gimme->current_sections_list->at_end || ($gimme->current_sections_list->index mod 3 == 0) }} last{{ /if }}">
