Pages SuperGrid is a set of Pages templates and a complete solution to make your Pages databases (with articles, directories and so on) appealing and engaging.
SuperGrid is one of the most popular files in the Applications & Plugins category on the IPS Marketplace.
What’s needed:
IPS 4.2 or 4.3 in its most recent version with the Pages application
A pages databases that uses the stock Record Image field and has images with a sufficient resolution uploaded through that field.
(Technically, the templates also work without images, but it’s an image-centered design and works best when most or all records have images.)
Which templates are included:
A beautiful grid-based Front Page template with two records featured at the top — for when your database is set to article mode.
A beautiful grid-based Listing template replacing the dull forum listing design — for when you open a category or have a database without categories.
A unique Record View template with a large header image — for when you open a specific record.
A category listing template – in case you use more than one category.
Note: You can use the templates for any number of databases, but the settings will always apply to all SuperGrid templates.
Bonus Feature:
Block template! Create blocks anywhere on your site – pointing to your database – and make them as beautiful as the database itself.
Detailed Feature Description and Notes:
Pages SuperGrid is built with the IPS design framework and is therefore fully responsive and compatible to most well-coded/well-designed themes. The styling of your theme(s) is inherited and the Pages SuperGrid templates will usually work out of the box.
The template is designed to work on single-column pages with or without a sidebar. The grid will automatically adopt to the available width and collapse on smaller devices.
The content field is not shown in the grid-based listing templates and all images will be scaled and cropped (without distortion) to the same size to allow a consistent look.
The templates come with lots of options you can easily adjust within the template.
