Masonary layout from Menu Link

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Confused ??
So am I
Ok I deleted the module and created a new one
No change :(

I added an image to the Projects category and added a menu item for that.

For clarification:
What "code"is used here to achieve the layouts?
The Quick Install doesn't generate that content for me to work through.

Apologies for all this stuffing around Paul
I figured this would be a simple task. :huh:

Hi Andrew,

Make sure you have the latest version of zentools2 installed and that you have clicked the to re-compile the master css at some point

It's a bit harder to be precise with the masonry size in the theme tab (right at the bottom)

In there you adjust the widths - I'd suggest using the custom css option in the module if using more than 1 masonry type module

Deleted again
Rebuilt and all the settings the same as you inicated Paul
No cache
If I could get something to show I could start to massage the CSS, not going to bother until I can get this happening.
Downloaded and reinstalled the Quick Start ... no content in that section. Might be worthwhile looking into
Thanks

Hi Andrew,

Is it worth opening a ticket and we can look at the module?

Mark it for Paul and I'll have a look

Cheers
Paul

HI Andrew,

Just a note for others finding this thread:

Loadposition loads modules by the template position they are assigned to.

Loadmodule loads module by their name, eg:

loadmodule mod_zentools2

More in the documentation here: docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_put_a_module_inside_an_article%3F

As usual for this place ... support is exemplary :woohoo:
Thanks Guys

A replacement QuickStart with all the contents from the demo, which was missing, has enabled me to correct the errors I was experiencing.
Module settings are, as I knew, absolutley paramount.
Use these QuickStarts even if you only want the template, for an existing site.

Still seeking to get the images on this page more in proportion.

How to get the "featured" to reduce in size?
May be more columns ?
