Differentiated layout - Newest Blog item in different styles

Hello

I was wondering if it is possible (of course it is, but is it easy) to make s9y display the Blog items in the following way:

*************************
*...................*....................*
* Blog Item 1 * Blog Item 2 *
* ..................*....................*
*************************
................Blog Item 3 ...........
*************************
.............. Blog Item 4 ..........
*************************

And so on and on.....

Blog Item 1 and 2 being the latests entries.

Thanks,

Soren

Well, you could do it with CSS 2.0, but it wouldn't be supported in InternetExplorer.

The other way is to use Smarty templating in our next release 0.8 (we're working on it currently).

The last way is to patch the file serendipity_functions.inc.php, function serendipity_printEntries() - but that would mean you'd have to do that every time you update your s9y installation with our release files.

Regards,
Garvin.

Thanks Garvin

I'll hack serendipity_printEntries() until Smarty is available.

It's a great product you've made. Rarely, have I seen a more user friendly admin interface. Great work.

Thanks for swift reply.

Thanks a lot for your compliments :)

You might want to check out our Smarty-Snapshots (on http://www.s9y.org/4.html) - our current rewrite is already quite usable. :)

Best regards,
Garvin.
