Views - Blog

This view is used to create a blog. The blog view may be inserted anywhere and it's content can be filters. This means it can just as easily be used to insert a full bloc section into a theme or only a small portion of posts from a specific category or related to a specific tag etc. The parameters available for this view are as follows:

Input data = Posts

Max	Set the maximum amount of posts to be shown. Leave this field empty for unlimited posts.
Selection	Use this control to manually pick posts to be included in the view.
Categories	Includes items in the view only from the selected categories.
Tags	Includes items in the view only featuring the selected tags.
Format	Includes items in the view which correspond to the selected format.

Blog Settings

Layout	Default - This is the standard blog format consisting of post media being full width of the available container and the post content being shown underneath. Search - This is a compact arrangement which is used by default to show results from a search, when more content is need to be browsed at one time. Here the post media is small and side by side with the post content. Alternative - This layout consists of media and content being side by side, but the post media is wide, while the post content is narrow. This would be used when the blog is mostly about the media and not the text content.
Show Media	Determines whether the post media is shown or hidden.
Paged Result	If set to "Yes", then any posts over the "Max" figure entered above will be accessible using pagination.
Load More	If the "Paged Result" option above is enabled and a value has been set in the "Max" field of the input data type, then this option, once enabled, will replace the default pager with a "Load More" button. This button will basically load more items and add them to the existing items using an ajax call, meaning the page will not need to reload as would be the case with the default pagination.
