Blog all posts

markdunham · ‎Dec 4, 2018

hi, looking for a better view for my blog when someone selects 'view all posts'
currently, I get a very bland list of the blogs that do not look professional.

Looking for either a thumbnail image to the left or right with the title and a separator between each blog

any ideas welcome

thanks,

Hi @markdunham,

Do you mind sharing a link to your blog page, along with any styling options you've tried so far?

Depending on what you've tried, your level of coding experience, and how your blog is currently set up will determine next best steps.

Thanks,
Jenny

Hi, thanks for replying to my post.

here's the link to the 'All Posts' - https://insights.intuityconsulting.com.au/all

I'd prefer it to be like this standard listing and just click to next page - link to normal layout -> https://insights.intuityconsulting.com.au/

Or having the featured pic and the headline next to it.

I've not tried anything really. and my coding experience is low, but happy to try and give it a go 🙂

thanks,

Mark

Hey @markdunham! for starters, this looks like a template that our Migration Techs built out. You can tell this by going here to check out your blog template: https://app.hubspot.com/beta-design-manager/4927199/templates/6439020800. The blog follows the naming convention "CompanyName_MonthYear" which is how our techs name all Template Setups or Migration projects. This means you should be able to file a Support Ticket and a support rep skilled with design should be able to help you out.

That said, a bit about the "all posts" section. The all posts button comes default on all blogs that use our default blog template. Our migration techs deliver that default template if a blog template was not specified for us to copy over during a template setup or migration. Currently, your blog does use our default template, which is why the all posts button is there. It's meant to deliver a list of all posts written, which is why its simple in nature. Some blogs can have hundreds of posts, and loading up all posts on that all posts page would take reaaaallly long so that page is defaulted to just the title.

Support isn't a good spot for custom design requests, as that's not really the scope of what Support can offer, but you could turn to a freelancer for specific design help. That said, if you just want the all posts page to look the same as the normal blog layout at this url: https://insights.intuityconsulting.com.au/, you can simply click on the Blog Content Module > In the Right Sidebar click Edit listing template > then remove lines 34 and 66-68

thanks for this.

here is the code for the post listings.. not sure the line numbers we're the original as a support person helped me remove a few from somewhere to get rid of comments.

Yep! It'd be the same lines -- 34 and 66-68 that you should delete
