If I create a view (v 6.x 2.x) using Style = Grid and Row Style = Node (full) then the view results do not render in the format stipulated by Composite Layout. No layout is applied at all, each node simply shows as list of fields.

Is this a known limitation?

ps - best module ever.

Thanks.

Composite Layout only operates on full nodes. If you use Views to display fields from a node, or display node teasers, then Composite Layout will not do anything.

You might like to try getting your view to display full non-teaser nodes.

Thanks for the reply.

To confirm, I am using full nodes in the 'Row Style' settings but to no avail.

Hi,

Just been testing this ... I have a view that uses a Page display that overrides 'Style' to be Grid and 'Row style' to be Node (Build mode: Full node), and the view selects nodes which have Composite layout enabled ... it's working correctly for me.

The nodes shown by the view in a grid have been operated upon by Composite Layout, ie. multi column layout.

Do you want to double check your settings, and that it isn't something else interfering?

If you switch your Style from Grid to Unformatted momentarily, does that make any difference?

Thanks for coming back to me. I replicated your settings but still do not get the results you do. My page renders each node as a list of fields rather than as per the composite layout, which is two columns (images on the left, text fields on the right).

As you suggested, I switched style to Unformatted: the output was exactly the same as in Grid style.

If you don't use Composite Layout, can you get your view to render nodes as full nodes instead of a list of fields? Is there any views configuration for which this works?

It sounds like your issue isn't with Composite Layout, but with Views or your theme or something else.

Expiring this issue as it is old and uncertain whether it is still applicable.
