    Pages SuperGrid is a set of Pages templates and a complete solution to make your Pages databases (with articles, directories and so on) appealing and engaging. 

    SuperGrid was one of the most popular files in the Applications & Plugins category on the IPS Marketplace and is used on hundreds of websites. 


    What’s needed: 

    • requires the Pages application and Pages databases using the stock Record Image with images with a sufficient resolution

    Which templates are included:

    • A beautiful grid-based Front Page template with two records featured at the top — for when your database is set to article mode.
    • A beautiful grid-based Listing template replacing the dull forum listing design — for when you open a category or have a database without categories.
    • A unique Record View template with a large header image — for when you open a specific record.
    • A category listing template – in case you use more than one category. 
    • Note: You can use the templates for any number of databases, but the settings will always apply to all SuperGrid templates. 

    Bonus Feature: 

    Block template! Create blocks anywhere on your site – pointing to your database – and make them as beautiful as the database itself. 

    Detailed Feature Description and Notes:

    • Pages SuperGrid is built with the IPS design framework and is therefore fully responsive and compatible to most well-coded/well-designed themes. The styling of your theme(s) is inherited and the Pages SuperGrid templates will usually work out of the box. 
    • The template is designed to work on single-column pages with or without a sidebar. The grid will automatically adopt to the available width and collapse on smaller devices. 
    • The content field is not shown in the grid-based listing templates and all images will be scaled and cropped (without distortion) to the same size to allow a consistent look. 
    • The templates come with lots of options you can easily adjust within the template.
