@scott_mcnaught Facing this exact issue today ... have a huge population of custom fields for a client's projects portfolio, then the same fields appear on the basic blog post category. Would be great to specify different custom fields to each category!

Trying to figure out how to display the category title/name in the post display. Seems like it should be something like <h3>[? $post['post_category_title'] ?]</h3> but no variations other than 'post_category_id' seem to work (which just shows the category number).

Also wanting to set up logic to check if there's any posts within a particular category, and if not make the section containing the posts display block not appear on the page. Something like:

<logic:if test="CODE TO CHECK IF THERE'S POSTS IN CATEGORY 3">
templates:section
<p>West End:</p>
<data:postrepeater paging="true" pagingrows="6" templatetype="list" postcategory="3" />
</templates:section>
</logic:if>

@kimguevarra Yep, that was it. One little word in the CSS! Thanks for the advice!

Have edited the standard cards style of post listing to simply use an image rather than testing for and using the post icon, however any time I edit the code the flex breaks so I end up with a tall line of post cards instead of the proper three across the row style.

Thanks Scott ... your answer would help explain the lack of straightforward solutions out there on the web!

Glad to hear you're looking at implementing it once the standards are established.

Masonry might be the actual term for the gallery style.

Wanting to create an image gallery that uses the full (or close to full) height of each image into a vertical cascading gallery, similar to how Pinterest lays out its images. At the moment the Oncord gallery defaults to square images, and I can't work out how to alter this.

@StephenBlignault Thank you for your detailed response; that certainly looks like the type of solution I was after. Hadn't thought of using two design templates, but that makes perfect sense. Appreciate the insight and code!

Wondering what the best way is to create single page 'under construction' home page, while being able to freely edit and design the rest of the website—including headers and footers. I tried the PHP redirect from the Oncord Developers page, but it kept throwing a redirect error and would load the page (when not logged in as an admin).

@alex_cumberland Thanks Alex.

I'm a brand designer so website coding isn't my usual activity. However one of the most exciting things about using Oncord is that it bridges the gap between designers like myself and the skills needed to code pixel-perfect websites. Even when I'm stealing code from other places to push the envelope with our client websites, it's the support from the Oncord team that really stands out and gives me confidence to keep trying new stuff. I'm sure this forum will help even more, so look forward to connecting with other designers and coders.
