Greetings,

I'm working on a news theme (modified adaptive theme) and I like to display the information on this format :

*imagestitle 1
description

*title 2
*title 3
*title 4
*title 5

Currently the latest stories are formatted this way using Semantic Views style

*imagestitle 1
description

*imagestitle 2
description

*imagestitle 3
description

*imagestitle 4
description

*imagestitle 5
description

What is the best approach/way to format the views? I was thinking to just hide the image and description using css but I'm looking for better way.

Here's is the site www.buzzblab.com. Featured , latest stories and the category on the sidebar are all using block.

Thanks,
Eli

If I understand you correctly you could use the module Views Attach, as I did something very similar with it recently, dispalying a list of node titles but the top four have images too.

Views Attach lets you add another view to the bottom of a page view or Node View (or block?? have a look), so create say a page view that displays 1 item with fields; image, description, then attach a view to it that only displays your *title fields and is offset by 1 - its under 'Items per Page'.

What does the * mean??

I never thought the module exist, thank you very much.

Anyway, the asterisk represent a list type, or a dot. Thanks

UPDATE: the module works but for node only but not using block. Any alternative way to do this.. thanks

Could you just create two separate views as blocks, one that displays an image, the next is identical but without images and offset by 1 (under Number of Items to Dispaly) and then put them in the same sidebar under each other. CSS would let you theme them so they look like there in the same block...
