Hello,

I have a GK5 Grid configured to show in its grid some K2 items via GK5NewsShowPro.

Now my help request is about what kind of GK5ShowPro basic setting shoudl I choose to have a display (in each grid) as the image attached.

I tried to configure among the various NSP basic settings choices; some of them suits my need (i.e. Portfolio II or Product gallery II), but they don't have any possibilty to show the K2 item intro text;

I feel lost and confused in all those possible image/text/header settings :shock:

What I would like to get is displaying (possibly with some cool effect of MusicState template I'm using) a grid of news made as in the image attached.

Alternatively is Ok also if the title and intro item text are over the image...

Thanks in advance :-)

Hi

I would use a "Normal Mode". Set it to show 1 row and 1 columns in article layout and select rest of the elements You need.

BUT

If evary grid box should be like that than why simply not use one module with for example 4rows and 4 columns.

Hello,

thanks for your answer.

Ok standard mode works quite well. But I'd like something cooler... some overlay effect of text over image rather than simple standard mode... or even a text with color background just under the image...

Is there any module suffix of MusicState template that I could add to standard mode (or other modes)?

I tried "grid title overlay" mode that works as I would need, also with a cool shading effect, but for the lack of intro text; I did not manage to get the introtext show even if in the text settings the option "text link" is enabled as well as in article layout "text enabled" in ON.

PS I'll also try to show the news with N x N rows/column without GKgrid

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi

"Normal mode" just matches what You show on example image, but most of the NSP styles should be usable. Please show me the site so I'll check the title overlay module.
