👋 Blogging with Stacks Plugin Power - Say hello to Poster Stack

[dadama (Doug)]

Perhaps a naive question but can poster stack be used with Armadillo ?
For formatting Armadillo post in a grid format.
Thanks

[instacks (Jannis from inStacks Software)]

I wouldn’t do that. Wouldn’t it be better to put Armadillo posts into columns itself?

[grajay (Graham Jackson)]

Can this Poster stack show a full blog entry rather than an abbreviated version that the demos show please? I’d like to take ownership of my Blogger blog and transfer it over to my own hosting company and this looks like it would be worth the pain and effort, but only if it will show a full blog entry.

Thanks

[instacks (Jannis from inStacks Software)]

Yes, that is possible. The demo shows the usage of summary content in list view. It is also possible to show the main content both in list as also in details view.

[grajay (Graham Jackson)]

Perfect - thanks very much

A great new project by @webdeer build around Poster Stack:

Webdeersign Project 8 Foundation project released

[image] The Forkin Fox has arrived. Now available for those using Foundation stacks and the incredible new Poster stack from inStacks. What started as an idea to use the new inStacks Poster stack for a RapidWeaver blog, turned into a whole project built around Poster. This is an ideal complete layout, or use to cherry pick for your designs, with a set of layouts for a wide variety of web site applications. The design is fresh, very current and has a number of tricky to achieve layouts, alr…

Not that there was anything wrong with Armadillo, but I will take a Stack over a web-based or plugin add on any day.

I’m in the process of setting up a new blog using Poster Stack. So far @instacks has been great in responding to my questions and it’s easy to set up.

thank you!

[instacks (Jannis from inStacks Software)]

Thanks @SteveB for your kind words

I really have to say that @webdeer 's RapidProject8 blow my socks off. It’s great what Gary created there.

I purchased the Poster stack the other day, had a little play around with it earlier and I gotta say it’s pretty awesome. Great for a product catalogue too! Nice job @instacks

[dylan (Dylan Banks)]

@SteveB I feel another project coming along!

[Do_again (Kingsley)]

Are you able to show me an example ? i.e product catalog.
Thank you.

[webdeer (Gary)]

The product page at http://webdeersign.com/pr8demo1/products/ is one example of how you might use Poster to build a product or Catalogue page.

With Poster, you have complete control over what appears in the from end list of "products"and also the product details. You control the size of the Poster list items, and each Poster list item could just be an icon or just some text. You also control the number of items on each page.

The other thing about Poster that makes it perfect for a Catalogue is that it is easy to add, re-order, delete, copy items and the whole list of products adjusts itself.

@webdeer
Hi Gary, would like to know if this stack will work perfectly with Foundry.
I’m not aware of any incompatibilities between the Poster stack and Foundry but maybe the only thing to keep in mind is that Adam does not include any styles for the RW Blog page as part of Foundry (most theme developers do include such styles; Foundry likely doesn’t have them because it is a “blank” theme). So my question would this affect the Poster stack or not?
Cheers

NB. In my case it’s would be also for a catalogue page.

Hi @TINO, I’m using the Poster stack with Foundry and it works perfectly. There are at least 2 demos on the Poster stack website which use Foundry.

Forgot to add a link. Just added it now

[webdeer (Gary)]

@TINO As others have confirmed, yes of course Poster works with Foundry.

If you were asking about the Project8, then although it is based on Foundation, there is actually very little Foundation used. You could for example, cut and paste the pages from P8 and replace the Foundation Image and Top Bar with the Foundry Image and Navigation. The stacks used within Poster are Paddy and BWD stacks which as far as I know work perfectly in Foundry.

I have today ‘complained’ to Jannis of InStacks about calling “Poster” something for blogging…it is like calling the Pope - a lay preacher, the Danube - a river, the Oktoberfest - a Monday night in the pub, the Mercedes F1 cars - quick Ubers…

“Poster” is truly AMAZING; I have about 20 or 30 Rapid Weaver sites and now each one needs re-writing…but with “Poster” that won’t take long.

[Do_again (Kingsley)]

Hi SteveB,
Thank you for that.
Awesome

[instacks (Jannis from inStacks Software)]

Today, I cracked a magic sales number.

BTW: Version update 1.1.6 gives you a new layout option, a masonry like grid layout: http://posterdemo.instacks.com/parker/

One request: If you like Poster Stack, give it a thumbs up here, and if you have a little bit more time, a small review would be awesome!
