Offset Feature in Pro?

Hi,

What do you mean mix the layouts? You have the possibility to add different layout on a same page already or it's something else ?

Cheers,

Let's say I want two columns and then three columns. And I want the posts to be sorted by date. Unless you can tie the two directly together, you would need to offset the 2nd one with 3 columns so that it doesn't start over at 1.

It would be:
1, 2
3, 4, 5

Starting at 3 is not possible without an offset feature. It is a basic feature in other recent posts plugins. Your plugin looks like a fantastic plugin everywhere else so I was hoping you had the feature but I haven't seen any mention of it.

The same concept would apply if you wanted your recent post to be a feature post and then all the others in a sidebar. If there wasn't an offset feature, it would duplicate the most recent post.

OK got it it's something to force a number of columns and sort all news in the same widget.
Indeed it's useful to build a complete news page layout.
We may think about that in a new theme for a future version, thanks a lot for your time.

Cheers,

Actually, I wasn't referring to the use of the same widget. That would be extra work. It should be fairly easy to put in offset for the widget.

Imagine I have two widgets.
The first widget I want 2 posts sorted by date.
The second widget I want 3 posts sorted by date, but starting at post #3 (since post #1 and post #2 are in the other widget). The offset feature would tell you which post to start with so you don't duplicate the post.

At least the top 3 on this list have offset features.

If you can add the offset field to the admin panel and use the code example from the link in previous example, then you will have just made a big update in flexibility.

Yes yes I got what you mean, I already seen the offset feature. I'll add it in our todo list for sure.

Cheers,

Thank you very much! How long will it take to add that?

I don't know really, we should start a new version this month, we should be able to include it inside I think.

Cheers,

Thanks... all the other features look like what I am looking for. Would it be possible to get the beta code for the offset with a pro version or will I need to try and add it in myself? I am just trying to get up and going prior to the next release.

Hi,

Yes of course, I will send you a test version on your Email.

Cheers,
