Is it normal for the display order on photo view to be not in order?
This is what I’m getting –
July 8 || July 9 || July 10
July 16 || July 15 || July 11
Aug 17 || Aug 27 || Aug 8
It’s like that on every page. Some lines in order, some not.I’ve tried removing the featured image photos (which defeats the purpose of using that view), and it still does not display in the correct order.
Does the sort order rely on the length of the excerpt text?
· No other plugins in use
· using Twenty Sixteen Theme
· WP vs 4.5.3Hi, Patti. Sorry you’re experiencing this.
There might be some new updates available. Could you please make sure all your Modern Tribe plugins are at their latest versions?
Once you verify you’re on the latest versions, please test to see if the issue is still happening for you.
If it is, please follow our Testing for Conflicts Guide and see if that helps narrow down the cause of this (like you were already doing with only Modern Tribe plugins active and using TwentySixteen).
If it doesn’t, please share your System Information. That will give me a lot of extra information to help diagnose the problem.
Let us know what you find out.
Thanks.
I updated them all this morning, before posting. But in case they are not the correct versions:
· TEC vs 4.2.2.
· TECP vs 4.2.2(from previous post)
· No other plugins in use
· using Twenty Sixteen Theme
· WP vs 4.5.3FWIW – I’ve checked other sites I’m using this on, and it’s doing the same thing there.
It sounds like we’re looking at the same thing. Please see 15-seconds into the video I shared. The events are in order if you look at the top of each Photo View item in relationship to the top of the page (not in relationship to each other). Said another way, if your browser’s address bar is the North Pole, all the Photo View items are in order by the earlier start dates being “more north” than later events.
I hope this clears things up. If you’d like to see the sorting script improved, feel free to suggest it as an enhancement at our plugins’ UserVoice page.
This allows others who are interested in that feature to easily voice their support. We frequently review suggestions there to find out which ones are popular, then we implement as many of them as we can.
If you post it, feel free to link to it from here in case anyone comes across this forum thread in the future.
So, let me see if I understand this right…
The viewing /sort order goes like so:
1 | 4 | 7
2 | 5 | 8
3 | 6 | 9Which means viewing requires up & down scrolling, rather than the standard reading left to right that would be used with this structure:
1 | 2 | 3
4 | 5 | 6
7 | 8 | 9Patti, I’m very sorry this is causing so much confusion for you. I asked someone else from the team to look over our conversation, and they confirmed that I’ve explained Photo View accurately. Others have had similar feedback in the past.
The Photo View uses jQuery Isotope to output the items in a Pinterest-type grid but not in a rigid row-column type grid.
Everything at http://www.mi-demo.com/wpsample/events/ is displayed how I would expect it to be (and how I previously described it should be).
Of course, I want to astound and amaze you with my answers to your support questions, but I’m not sure how much more I can help you on this topic. 🙁
Please thoroughly review my previous replies, focusing on the events being in their Start Date order and only looking at where the top of each item starts (regardless of which column it’s in).
I don’t know if it would, but I’d guess any customization would need to be done via JavaScript, not CSS.
If you need some coding help, you may want to ask your developer or reference our list of known customizers.
Sorry it’s not how you’d like it to be, but I hope you’re at least understanding how it works now.
Truly not trying to be difficult.
What I am is stuck in the middle, trying to explain to non-technical people, in non-technical terms, what you’re telling me in technical terms, why a simple grid is not laying out in what they (the non-techs) perceive to be a logical fashion.
Thought it might be easier edit everything than trying to explain to them (again) why there isn’t a switch to flip to make it “normal”.
Thank you for your time.
