Tip for creating a second “Category blog” layout

Asked by CdF 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi,
on a site we manage, we use the Finion Joomla 4 template.
In the News section of the site, we are using the template's default blog layout (Category blog).
For a new section we need to create, we need to have a second layout of the "Category blog" version (we need to change the graphics a lot). For the main page only (the single article page can remain the same).
We would be very happy to have your indications/suggestions as to how best to proceed and which file should be modified.
Thanks

Hello cdf12345

Please go to this location and create a new file.

templates/finion/html/com_content/article

Right now, there are 3 layouts: default, finaticblog and casestudies. Create a new file with a new name. Then on the menu item Category Blog -> Options settings, select the layout you want.

Thanks so much Ofi,
following your instructions, I duplicated the "finaticblog" file and then renamed it.
Now, however, I would like to change the CSS of the new main page, without changing the main page of the original.
(see the example of changes in the image)
Can you help me on how to proceed?,
Thanks again

This will require a lot of customization. Please contact a developer for this. Sorry, we do not provide customization support.
