Adding a Simple News Feed to a Layout Element

[neilhartley]

Hi,

I’m trying to do something really simple which is to add the last 3 news item titles to a column in Pro/Renew. Just as a list in that single column.

I tried Loopers but that kept adding the 2nd and 3rd news items into separate columns. Is this standard behaviour or should I be able to achieve this in a single column.

Am I left with using php to create a shortcode or is there something simple I’m missing? This is for News not Posts.

Thanks, Neil

Hi Neil,

Thanks for reaching out.
If I am able to understand your requirements, you want to show the latest three news items in three different columns. If that is the case, you can achieve it using the Looper Provider. If that is not the case and you are trying to point out something else, please provide any screenshot marked with the issue or any video that helps us recognize the problem.

Thanks

Hi Tristup,

No, I want to show the 3 latest news items in the same column. I was hoping Looper would do this but I couldn’t make it.

Is there a simple way in Pro, or do I need to write php to create a shortcode?

Thanks, Neil

Here’s a screenshot showing the looper settings for the column. Note it’s set to a count of 1 but if i change to 3 and the consumer to All, I get 3 columns not the 3 titles in the same column.

Hi Neil,

It seems that you have set the Looper Consumer to the Column and that is why the Column repeats with the Loop. I would suggest you add a DIV element inside the Column set the Looper Consumer to it and place the Title section in it.

Hope it helps.
Thanks
