Hi everyone,

I am using "flexinode" to create different contents such as news and products. I use it as well to design each content according to specific requirements, adding images, texts, and complementary texts.

But my problem is that I cannot design the "block" shown in the home page. It is only possible to see the title of each "node". I would like to add an image and a short brief in order to complement the news.

Here is an example of what I need:

(thanks to imageshack.us)

Does "flexinode" or other "module" can create this type of design or layout?

Thank you all!

There isn't an easy way, but here is what I did:

1.) Create custom blocks (use the PHP snippets page in the handbook- the page snippets also work in blocks, if you choose them carefully) that pull in your flexinode content.
2.) Use the dashboard module to print out content in blocks.
3.) Style the dashboard blocks using css

I am just learning it myself, but the results are reasonable although I haven't added images yet and the boxes are squeezed together as I am still experimenting with the css.

Here is another implementation without the borders.
