I tried this many times but failed because of the layout I want.
I used Articles for blog but failed in creating masonry or magazine style blog because Articles show only articlerowtpl posts. So I cant make it grid wise so it post articles like masonry. Like 1 and 2 then 1 and then 2. Currently Articles posts only 1 and then 1 and then 1.. simple blog layout. I want masonry layout. I have themes but I failed on this step.

Please tell me is this possible with Articles ? Or any other Extra?

As an example here's my masonary style blog http://www.hotly.com.au/library

Never used Articles and it doesn't use Collections.

tested in wamp too but same result.

with

you can get the first image from content and use pthumb to resize and crop the image]]> Bruno17 Jun 07, 2015, 12:49 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/97312/how-to-create-masonry-or-magazine-style-blog?page=2#dis-post-526565 <![CDATA[Re: How to create masonry or magazine style blog?]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/97312/how-to-create-masonry-or-magazine-style-blog?page=2#dis-post-526558 Quote from: markh at Jun 06, 2015, 11:43 PM

Thank you very much Mark. I almost got what I what. Just a little problem here.

I am using this snippet -
$content = $modx->resource->content;
if(preg_match("/src=\"(.*?)\"/",$content,$matches)){
    $img  = substr($matches[1],1,strlen($matches[1]));  
}    
else {
    $img  = "assets/images/defaultImage.png";      
}
return $img;


When I use it for a document, its working but this call 
[[getFirstImageInResource]]
generating url ttp://imagepath/image.jpg instead of http. I have to put h before snippet call to make it working. so its like 
h[[getFirstImageInResource]]

The main problem facing -
When I use this 
[[++site_url]][[getFirstImageInResource]]
in my Article extra's container, it only generates default image. I want it to generate image from the article to make it featured image.
I hope you understand what I want to say.
Aslo tell me how can I use this to crop image with phpthumbof?]]> Mayanktaker Jun 07, 2015, 08:41 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/97312/how-to-create-masonry-or-magazine-style-blog?page=2#dis-post-526558 <![CDATA[Re: How to create masonry or magazine style blog?]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/97312/how-to-create-masonry-or-magazine-style-blog?page=2#dis-post-526550 http://onsitenow.co.uk/modx/how-to-get-the-first-image-from-a-blog-post-for-the-open-graph-protocol-html-head-tags/
