I'm trying to find an article module that will have the top page looke like the listings of wfdownloads "Main Category Listings" section. Smartsections has a good start, but the listings ar in a single column. If smartsections could be hacked to change the way it displays, that could work, but I have no idea how to do that.



Is there a module out there or a hack somewhere that will do what I need?

Thanks all.

If you are going to have a fixed number of sections, you could make a static front page to it... I'm currently doing this for one of my own projects - as I need something a little different from the norm.

Alternatively, you could try "Magazine" - which is based on WF-Section 2.08 - which has a very different layout design.

Thank for the reply. I have tried for weeks to get the Magazine module to install on either a 2.2.3 or 2.0.13.2 site.

In the 2.0.13 site, the Magazine module won't even show up as an available module to install. It gives the error:
Fatal errorCannot re-assign $this in C:public_html2013modulesmagazineclassarticle.php on line 613


And in 2.2.3, I get the same error plus all layout formatting is gone on the page. I've posted this issue but never received any response. And reading the "Comments" section of the Magazine module, it appears that others were having this problem without resolve.

I've downloaded the module several times thinking maybe something was curruped, but no lock. If you know of anyone that has gotten this module installed, could you point me to them?

Thanks.

I've had no problems with Magazine on 2.0.x - but as I'm involved in the SmartFactory now.. i'm moving my project to that instead.

Understandable move :) And I also would like to stay w/ the smart* set of modules as I feel the support/development is much more active.

Any chance to get this "feature" I'm looking for added? Maybe have two index layouts for an admin to choose from?

Being able to template the index page would be a great idea to be honest.. and some of the features on Magazine are excellent...

Sounds like a design plan... I look forward to the next revision of smartsections...
