Hi There,
I’ve implemented a gallery which will displayed instead of post featured image. By default it shows one image in landscape format. Clicking on it will bring up a lightbox and you can you left and right arrows in order to navigate through the post attached media. In order to make this work I am using a GP Element (Hook/PHP) a plugin justified image grid. The definition here fits to the overall container witdh of 1200px and particularly good for images in landscape format. It looks like a featured image, but it works like a gallery. This works very good. Let’s call the solution VirtualFeaturedImage.
The issue I encounter is the following: once the featured image is in portrait ratio the idea of a featured image is broken. The implemented solution is showing the first two images of the gallery. Reason for this is the overall container witdh 1200px. So I cut the gallery to one image what I don’t want.
I am thinking about a solution with a more narrow container width of ~400px when finding a an featured Image in portrait format with the VirtualFeaturedImage and keeping the default container width 1200px in case of a landscape format.
Can you give some thoughts, please?
Thanks in advance, Ernst Wilhelm

Hi there,
The theme can NOT control content that are from the 3rd party plugins, I’m not sure what we can help with here.
Let me know!

Hi, dear Ying.
I don’t need any help with the 3rd party plugin. I just thought you would appreciate some background information for better understanding.
I am wondering how can I call a custom block with a container and some php coding inside. What would be your approach?
Many thanks in advance, Ernst Wilhelm

Maybe creating a custom hook to store the container, and create a shortcode for the PHP coding, and add the shrotcode to the custom hook as well.

Hi There. I’ve created a custom block. Is there a json file be stored for these definitions. If so can you tell me where this file is located?
-
GP does not have a
theme.jsonfile.Are you trying to call the custom block on the site?
If so, try this method:
1. Add your blocks into a block element – hook, set hook name to
custom>portable_hook, set location to entire site.2. Add this PHP code to create a shortcode which can pull the block from the element. Then you can use
[my_portable_hook]to pull the element.add_shortcode('my_portable_hook', function($atts){ ob_start(); do_action('portable_hook'); return ob_get_clean(); });Let me know if this helps!

Hi.
Indeed there is a possibility to export the custom block definitions as a .json file.
Lucky me, now I have two options for investigation.I will let you know.

Sure 🙂
