Blog Entries

Stack settings

The Blog Entries stack's job is to render your Summary, Categories, Full Post and Search results views for your site's visitors as they're viewing your blog.

After the main Alloy stack the Blog Entries stack is the next most important stack when it comes to Blog Posts. This stack takes all of the main stacks data and processes it into the beautiful blog entries you see on your Summaries, Categories, Full Post views and Search results, creating what is essentially the bulk of your blog.

General

The Blog Entries stack contains a lot of different controls for customizing various aspect of your blog's design and layout. We've tried to break them up into logical groupings based on whether they affect the Summaries, Categories, Full Posts view, etc. Sometimes there is crossover between these different sections within the settings, so we've broken out some of the settings into their own groups as well.

Summaries

LAYOUT v3
This setting allows you to choose from several different layouts for your Summaries view. When choosing your layout you'll see an icon in Edit Mode that shows an example of the currently selected layout design. These icons can be seen below. We also offer up a suggested number of Post Per Page to help you with your design decisions.

An example of Previous / Next links that make use of Topper Images as their backgrounds. They also use custom gradients and button colors, as well as both Background and Overlay padding to create a unique style.

BACKGROUND
We can use this background setting to really make our Previous / Next controls stand out. While we're able to choose from some standard backgrounds like our Foundry preset colors or a custom color picker, the real magic is when we use the Topper Image setting.

When using the Topper Image setting for your Previous / Next links the background will be the Topper Image that is associated with the previous or next Blog Post that is linked from the controls. This gives us a beautiful visual cue as to what to expect when we go to the Previous or Next post.

BACKGROUND [Color Picker]
We have a color picker here for choosing the background when we've selected the Color Picker option from the above setting.

OVERLAY GRADIENT
To accent our images when we've chosen the Topper Image as our Background type we've provided the ability to set an overlay gradient on top of our images. You're given two color pickers here to select your gradient colors. If you'd prefer no overlay, set both color pickers to white with a 0% opacity.

We also provide an control for setting the angle of your gradient as well.

BACKGROUND PADDING
This setting is meant to control the padding around the overlay gradient, giving the content in your Previous / Next controls some breathing room.

OVERLAY PADDING
Much like the Background Padding control above, the allows you to add padding to your controls. This padding takes place within the Overlay area itself.

The Background and Overlay Padding controls together give us a lot of control over the styling of our Previous / Next Controls. Especially since we can adjust them at each of the three responsive breakpoints.

This setting allows us to adjust how round the corners of the Previous / Next controls should be.
