grid layout for post lists

  • I’d like to list my posts in this grid style with thumbs and excerpt/meta data exactly as seen here.

    There was another discussion on this topic, here, but I wasn’t quite able to follow it, as I’m not terribly skilled in php and css. I looked for hours for a simply solution in the form of a plugin or widget, but that seems not to exist.

    What I have is a Suffusion-themed setup.

  • Suffusion lets you set up a “tile” layout. Look under Suffusion Options → Layouts. Depending on what you want to display as tiles (E.g. categories), go to the appropriate tab and pick the “tiles” option there.

    Thanks, Sayontan, great idea. I did not know that was there.
    I enabled the tiles for tags and categories.. but when I view either one I get error messages where the thumbnail should be..

    Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s):(/f5/freethoughblahgs/:/nfsn/apps/php53/lib/php/:/nfsn/apps/php5/lib/php/:/nfsn/apps/php/lib/php/)

    so for whatever reason the location it is looking for the image to make a thumbnail is not working; I’ve tried different thumbnail settings for the posts such as featured image, image from post etc.., with no luck. any idea?

    The theme doesn’t use is_dir checks for thumbnails. Which version are you on? Which line number is showing this error?

    This might be a more basic problem with WP itself. Did you upgrade to WP 3.4? Is that when the problem started?

    As I said, Suffusion doesn’t make this call for thumbnail generation.

    No, I’ve never upgraded. I only noticed the problem when I tried to use the tile layout, so it may have always been there. Images in the posts work fine. It’s only trying to use the tile/mosaic when it’s a problem.

    What do you suggest?
