New kind of articles, same format

Looks good, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

And so, you don't recommend sub-categories at all?

do what you want lol

Hello,

I quickly tried sub-categories, and falied.

I tried what you suggested, and suceeded!
Like you said I added a new radio field to distinguish between usual kind and new kind of articles.
In the Flexi template (category view) I put it in renderonly position, then set the class with the PHP code.
Added this new class in the CSS file (indeed in the LESS file).

But... my new class was below other classes and :

1) I had to comment out "background: none;" in #flexicontent ul.introblock > li
OK I can do that because it is in my own Flexi template category view.

2) I had to comment out classes fcodd and fceven in components\com_flexicontent\assets\css\flexicontent.css
I don't feel OK with this one because this is native Flexi, and will come back again with each Flexi upgrade.
Is there a better way to do? How could I have my new class higher?

Good night.

Hello

1. You can create a copy of 'blog' template (which contains of course a category layout)

and call the new template

myblog
or
somename
or
anyname

2. assign it to a category and (thus to its child categories too)

3. Remove / Custom --ALL-- or --any-- part of CSS inside category.less

you do not need to keep any CSS that exists inside the *.less files files of the layouts !

Dear George,

At this stage I've already got my template, based on a copy of 'blog'. You can see it in my website homepage , just below the carrousel.
I only want to highlight some specific items in the list with a special background colour.

My issue is the CSS hierarchy:
1. #flexicontent ul.introblock > li { background: none [from my template category.less]
2. fcodd and fceven { background-color: something [from components\com_flexicontent\assets\css\flexicontent.css]
3. #flexicontent .Interview { background-color: specific [from my template category.less]

Could I modify this hierarchy?


And another question:
Is it possible, in the "opening text" of a field, to test the value of another field?
I tried this below, but it seems php code isn't taken into account:

yes only in template not in field option
