CAMPUS LIFE grid strip of images

One thing I love about University is the strip of images that is full width, just below the STAY CONNECTED social links and newsletter signup option. I love the styling here and hope to import this into MUSIC STATE template.

Currently I see this is connected to JomSocial Social Photos and when I try to change it to K2 content it says "Specific data source is not supported by selected Portal Mode. Please change the data source or portal mode"

What I want to achieve is a mixed grid of content pulled from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and web sites.
Can I do this within News Show Pro GK5 and do I need to use JomSocial to do so?

Very interested in the answer to this one!

Thnx

Hi

I'm afraid this would need a different module than. NSP is using multiple source, but not a direct facebook/twitter.

What about using Grid GK5 module and using each block to load a different module. This way effect should be similar.

Teitbite, can I potentially use images from Facebook / Twitter / Instagram with Grid GK5?

Hi

Do You mean like it's in (m)Social template demo ? It is a straight custom html in a Custom HTML module.

Code: Select all

<a class="gkIcon gkColorFb" href="https://www.facebook.com/gavickpro">
<i class="icon-facebook"></i>
</a>


just remember to disable using editor to not let it strip <i> tags.

You will also need some extra css for that:

Code: Select all

.gkIcon.gkColorFb {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #3b5998;
}

.gkIcon {
    height: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
}


No Teitbite, I don't just mean a straight link to a Facebook page, such as https://www.facebook.com/gavickpro

I'd like to integrate the content of the Facebook page or Twitter or Instagram so whenever the users posts on these channels it displays within a grid.

Grid GK5 looks perfect but can I use it to do this?

Hi

I think yes by using some 3rd party modules published inside grid which will be able to pick this informations from social websites. Unfortunatelly we do not have an extention capable of that.

i'm having a problem getting all the "lates photos" added to this strip on the home page. It appears to be based off individual users creating an album, then uploading, but I only have 2 of the 8 showing.

Are new additions based of "recent photos PER DAILY basis"? I've tied adding photos from different users and only 2 show up here. I don't have caching enabled, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

Using Joomla 3.3.3 and PHP version is 5.4.29, Gavern v.3.11.1 - the configuration check says "Your GD library configuration, cURL library configuration and cache directory permissions are proper"

Sorry, forgot to mention using Version: 3.2.0.5 of JomSocial

Just figured it out. Images and photos uploaded in a photo album do not show up here, rather it's any photo shared from the status of the activity stream. Most likely uploaded photos into each respective users default "Username's Photos" are the items that will show up here in this gkNSP module of JomSocials recent photos.

Thanks guys, sorry for the multiple posts

Hi

Yes, this module only shows images from statuses. You need to use a different module to hande showng latest images.
