Black Bear Pro--Category List Layout 2 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 0
I'm using the category list layout option for one of my menus but i want to change the formatting of how the articles are listed.

www.modernveejitsu-athletics.com/index.php/ athlete-spotlight

I would like to be able to include a thumbnail image of the subject of the article with a description of the sport the athlete plays below their name.

Any advice or suggestions of how I can try and edit this layout would be appreciated. I have some limited experience with doing html formatting etc...which is why i haven't tried playing around with it myself.

I think a blog article layout is what you're after. You might need to use some custom classes or html in the article.

I've herd of a plugin that pulls the first image form article to display in the blog article layout. That could be used as the thumbnail

would using the blog layout let me set the tumbnails up to link to a full article about each athlete?

I think i have an idea of what you're talking about but a little fuzzy.

It is possible but takes a little configuration. Sorry I can't explain it better. I'll try and look for the plugin I was talking about. It automatically pulls the first image in an article and links it to the full article in a catgory or section blog layout.
