Thumbnail page list using ListPages

By elishapeterson

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]]

Order of pages

How can I change order of the pages? I have letters as page titles a, b, c,…. How can I change order to alpha?

Sorry, I found the answer.

Is there a possibility to show a thumbnail picture instead of text preview?

This is just pulling text from the page, so the same thing wouldn't work to generate images of the pages, if that's what you mean. There might be a plugin of some sort that could be used to accomplish the same thing (?)

Very nice solution!

Of course I wanted a 'perfect' result so I removed the tags row and tweaked the table until i got an exact fit for my preview thumbnails for a particular category. I also prefer to print the page title with a "read more.." link to the side. I think it looks more intuitive.
