Show Post Content instead of Title

    Hi there,

    Really happy with the plugin and using it alongside Twitter Tools/Social to display Tweets. However, I am relatively new to coding etc and cannot manage to get WP-Tiles to display as I’d like.

    1: I would like each tile to simply show the Post Content and/or image.
    At the moment it shows the Post Title which is truncated and does not allow for hyperlinks etc.

    2: I would like my tiles to be in a specific font and centered both horizontally and vertically in the tile. At the moment it is Top Left.

    3: I would like to add a background image to the tile instead of block colour.

    4: I would like to remove the fact the Tiles hyperlink to the Posts.

    Sorry for including lots of questions in one message. As stated, I am relatively in-experienced at coding etc so if you could give me or link me to ‘relatively’ simple instructions I’d appreciate it.

    Hi there!

    Sorry for the very delayed response. WP Tiles 1.0 was in the pipeline and would pretty much solve all your problems. I uploaded the first beta today, so by all means, give it a go!

    1. Showing content
    You can now customize the complete tile byline using the byline editor. You can do stuff like:

    <h4>%title%</h4>
<p><span class='post-meta'>%author% on %date%</span> %excerpt%</p>

    Just to give you an idea. You have full control over the content that appears on tiles.

    2. Font and alignment
    This should be done using custom CSS in your theme. You can target tiles with .wp-tiles-container or .wp-tiles-tile. WP Tiles 1.0 will default to your theme font, but you can override it using normal CSS. Horizontal alignment can be achieved with text-align: center. Vertical alignment then depends on your other constraints – if you know the height of your content for example. But again, that’s styling.

    3. Background image
    Tiles will grab the background image from the post (first featured, then attached, then post content) and only if it can’t find one default to block color. You can also make the block color transparent, so the page background will show. Alternatively, set a background image to .wp-tiles-tile to override the default behaviour.

    4. Remove links
    There’s an option for that now. Either set the option in the defaults, or set link to none in the shortcode.

    [wp-tiles link=none]

    Cheers,
    Mike
