Hi,
I’m working on a couple Poster 2 blog pages for my redesigned photography website using the Origin theme by Archetypon, and would like to ask for some help fixing something that isn’t working right and adding a feature as well. I’d love help from the community, or would be willing to pay someone including the designer of the stack, Jannis for help with these 2 customizations. I’ll include pictures.
1). I’ve added some text stacks as well as a few “ReadMore” stacks (stacks4stacks) above the Poster 2 stack so I can have introduction text above the blog, and in one of the blogs I’ve used the ReadMore stack to make fake blog entries so I can have them pinned to the top, which isn’t possible in Poster 2. It looks great when viewing the page, but when clicking on an individual Poster 2 blog entry, it shows not only that blog entry, but all the stacks above it, and often it opens the post scrolled way up, so the viewer would be very confused as to what happened, not knowing they need to scroll way down to get to the individual opened blog entry.
a). So I need a way to hide the stacks above the Poster 2 blog entry when they are opened in “read more” view.
b). Also, when you click the “back” button when a blog entry is opened, it doesn’t go back to where that blog entry is, it goes back to a seemingly random place. I would love to make this button take you back to where you were in the blog so it’s not disorienting. Back to the collapsed view of that blog entry.
The best way to see this is with a screen recording, which I made and which you can download from my dropbox. Here’s the link: Dropbox - poster_2_stacks_above.mov - Simplify your life
2). I would like to show a list of blog archives for all the Poster 2 blog entries plus a list of tags you can click on to see posts in those tags (I’m not using categories or anything else at the moment) at the end of each opened blog post. So each time you open a blog post to read it, when you’re done you’ve got a nice list of all the blog entries to jump to one. I’m also going to try to have a web developer I’ve hire add a list to the main page but I don’t need help with that at this point.
I’ve hired a great RW web developer to help with some other customization of the project and he had some javascript added to the theme that generated a nice list that worked great when I was using the standard RW blog. But then I found Poster 2 and had to redo them because it’s so much better! But his javascript actually created a “Blog Archives” header below each blog entry when opened in “read more” view, at the end of the blog post. But it only showed one blog entry - the one that was open - I’m guessing because this javascript scans for blog titles and when a blog post is opened, there’s only one blog title visible. Is there some code I could add that would generate this with of all my blog posts plus the tags in a list? Here’s a picture of what it looked like with his Javascript that added the header and showed the current blog entry. I’d love it to look the same, but show all my blog entries plus tags if possible.
Here’s a picture of how it looked with his Javascript
3). I think I can probably fix this by just erasing the post and re-entering it as a new entry, but I’m curious why/how it’s happening so I could do it on purpose if I wanted.
The first post in my blog shows in one column, even though I’ve selected “flexbox columns”. This is because I created the blog by just dragging the Demo project page over to my project and then customizing it. And in the demo project, the first post shows as a single column as well. I can’t figure out how though, there’s no custom code, or setting to override flexbox columns or anything. I’d like all posts to be in the flexbox column format. Here’s a picture of this
I’m posting this as 2 images, the second one scrolled down so you can see that the rest of the posts are in column format. The images actually overlap if you look at the text.
Thank you for any help! And again, if anyone has a solution but needs compensation because it will take time, I’m happy to hire you! I’d love to hire Jannis!
