Grid

 Note
First of all please note it is a bit confusing name for this page as the Grid term can be confused for Bootstrap Layout Grid system or other Grid systems.
About

Discussion about tools available and how to handle a "Dynamic Grid" Layout or a "Masonry" type layout display of content within Tiki: articles, blog posts, tracker items, etc.
Let's imagine that we would like to mimic Pinterest-like "cards" layout in Tiki or e.g. this type of display of objects:

Like a visual display of elements with sorting in a table by rows first and columns later.

Bootstrap and Masonry

From version 5 Bootstrap allow the integration of an external Javascript to setup a masonry grid system and cards component.
See: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/examples/masonry/

  1. Add the script line in your Tiki, Look&Feel, Customization, Custom HTML head content field
  2. Add the data-masonry attribute to the .row wrapper of your grid.
    1. If used in a Smarty template, the attribute must be added inside a "literal" block
      IE: {literal}data-masonry='{"percentPosition": true }'{/literal}

I've been using Masonry (e.g. on http://londonfieldworks.com/Projects and http://jfw-photography.com) and it seems to work ok. Was wondering about including it in Tiki but it's ever so easy to add: Add this to "Custom code just before the closing </body> tag" <script src="https://npmcdn.com/masonry-layout@4.0/dist/masonry.pkgd.min.js"></script> Wrap your list plugin in a div.grid in the wiki page like this: {DIV(class="grid")} {LIST()} {pagination max="100"} {filter field="tracker_id" content="1"} {OUTPUT()}{DIV(class="tile")}{display name="image"}{DIV(class="info")}{DIV(class="h3")}[Project-{display name="object_id"}-{display name="title"}|{display name="title"}]{DIV}{display name="tracker_field_description"}{DIV}{DIV}{OUTPUT} {FORMAT(name="image")}{display name="wikiplugin_img" format="wikiplugin" fileId="tracker_field_mainImage" thumb="y" responsive="n" width="250" default="fileId=1" link=""}{FORMAT} {LIST} {DIV} Then add this to a javascript document ready (in custom.js of a {JQ} plugin) $grid = $('.grid').masonry({ itemSelector: 'div.tile', columnWidth: 350, fitWidth: true }); and finally add your CSS, something like this: .grid { margin: 0 auto; } .tile { cursor: pointer; margin: 0 50px 20px; } .tile .info { width: 250px; padding: 0 18px 20px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1; } ...etc HTH :) jonny

1.3. CSS-only Masonry

This is very simple and achieved using CSS only properties column-count and column-gap and inline-blocks. Inspired by the Creating a CSS-only Responsive Masonry article.

Demo:

#1 Image
Some text for the first "card"
#2 Text only item.
#3 Image
#4 Here is an ordered list:
  1. list item 1
  2. list item 2
  3. list item 3
#5 Image

#6 Something else... This is actually a span.


Code:

Copy to clipboard
{HTML()}<style>.masonry {-moz-column-count: 3; -moz-column-gap: 1.5rem; column-count: 3; column-gap: 1.5rem} .masonry > * {border: solid 1px #ccc; border-radius: .5rem; display: inline-block; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 1rem; width: 100%} .masonry * {max-width: 100%}</style>{HTML} {DIV(class=masonry)} {DIV()}#1 {img src=display12?x=240}%%%Some text for the first "card"{DIV} {DIV()}#2 Text only item.{DIV} {DIV()}#3 {img src=display13?x=240}{DIV} {DIV()}#4 Here is an ordered list: # list item 1 # list item 2 # list item 3 {DIV} {DIV()}#5 {img src=display14?x=240}{DIV} {DIV(type=span)}#6 Something else... This is actually a span.{DIV} {DIV}

1.3.1. Alternative Row Layout Using CSS Flex Display Property


Demo:

#1 Image
Some text for the first "card"
#2 Text only item.
#3 This item has centered image: Image
#4 Here is an ordered list:
  1. list item 1
  2. list item 2
  3. list item 3
#5 Image

#6 Something else... This is actually a span in a p.

#7 Image


Code:

Copy to clipboard
{HTML()}<style>.flexmasonry {display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap} .flexmasonry > * {border: solid 1px #ccc; border-radius: .5rem; flex-grow: 1; margin: 1rem; min-width: 25%; padding: 1rem} .flexmasonry * {max-width: 100%}</style>{HTML} {DIV(class="flexmasonry")} {DIV()}#1 {img src=display12?x=240}%%%Some text for the first "card"{DIV} {DIV()}#2 Text only item.{DIV} {DIV()}#3 This item has centered image: {img imalign=center src=display13?x=240}{DIV} {DIV()}#4 Here is an ordered list: # list item 1 # list item 2 # list item 3 {DIV} {DIV()}#5 {img src=display14?x=240}{DIV} {DIV(type=span)}#6 Something else... This is actually a -+span+- in a -+p+-.{DIV} {DIV()}#7 {img src=display15}{DIV} {DIV}


We can also easily randomize the order of items using JS and by adding randomize class to the flexmasonry div:

Copy to clipboard
{JQ()}$(".randomize > *").each(function() { var nr = Math.round(Math.random() * 100); $(this).css("order", nr); });{JQ}



Result:

#1 Image
Some text for the first "card"
#2 Text only item.
#3 This item has centered image: Image
#4 Here is an ordered list:
  1. list item 1
  2. list item 2
  3. list item 3
#5 Image

#6 Something else... This is actually a span in a p.

#7 Image

1.3.2. Alternative Column Layout Using CSS Flex Display Property

To achieve simmilar result as with columns property we need to limit the height of the flex container.

Demo:

#1 Image
Some text for the first "card"
#2 Text only item.
#3 This item has centered image: Image
#4 Here is an ordered list:
  1. list item 1
  2. list item 2
  3. list item 3
#5 Image

#6 Something else... This is actually a span in a p.

#7 Image
