Thumbnail page list using ListPages

By elishapetersonelishapeterson

Description

The code below shows how to use the ListPages module to generate a list of "thumbnail" previews of pages. As currently configured, the thumbnail displays the page title, the first 200 characters (using %%preview%%), and the page tags.

(Warning: If the title or tags are longer than 2 lines, the content will "spill over" the thumbnail.)

Code

[[module ListPages category="*" separate="true"]]
[[div style="float:left; width:200px; height:250px; border:1px solid gray; background:#eee; margin:10px 10px 0 0"]]
[[table style="width:100%;height:100%;table-layout:fixed;"]]
[[row style="height:40px"]][[cell style="background:#ccf;"]]
**%%linked_title%%**
[[/cell]][[/row]]
[[row style="height:160px"]][[cell style="font-size:80%; vertical-align:top"]]
[[div style="height:150px; overflow:hidden"]]
%%preview%%
[[/div]]
[[/cell]][[/row]]
[[row style="height:40px"]][[cell style="font-size:80%; background:#ddf; color:blue"]]
%%tags%%
[[/cell]][[/row]]
[[/table]]
[[/div]]
[[/module]]
