[Support request] Loop Template

Hi there,

is this just for the Blog page or All Archive pages ?

To create a Loop template that has a separate hero loop and a main loop

Ok, its possible, but its quite complicated and theres currently a pagination bug that will be fixed in GB 1.7.

The steps would be:

1. Add new Loop template.
2. Add a Container for the hero, inside add 2 column grid.
3. In each column add a query loop –
3.1 first loop will be to show one posts and should have a class of list-one
3.2 second loop to show the the other column with the next 3 posts and should have a class of list-two
4. After this your static section.
5. Then your final loop to show the rest of the posts with a class of list-three

NOTES:
For All query loops: enable: Inherit the Query from Template DO NOT set any Parameters
The class should get added the Advacned > Additional CSS Class(es) of the Query Loop -> Grid Block

6. The display rules location should be set to ALL Archives.
7. Publish that

Now each of the posts lists needs it paging and offet params set. To do this you can use the generateblocks_query_loop_args filter hook – heres an example of that code:

add_filter( 'generateblocks_query_loop_args', function( $query_args, $attributes ) {
    // Check your logic to apply the filtering only to specific loop
    if (
        !empty( $attributes['className'] )
        && ! is_admin() ) 
        {
            // list-one set pages to 1 and offset by 0
            if ( strpos( $attributes['className'], 'list-one' ) !== false ) {
                return array_merge( $query_args, array(
                    'posts_per_page' => 1,
                    'offset' => 0,
                ) );
            } 
            // list-two set pages to 3 and offset by 1
            elseif ( strpos( $attributes['className'], 'list-two' ) !== false ) {
                return array_merge( $query_args, array(
                    'posts_per_page' => 3,
                    'offset' => 1,
                ) );
            }
            // list-three offset by 5 
            elseif ( strpos( $attributes['className'], 'list-three' ) !== false ) {
                return array_merge( $query_args, array(
                    'offset' => 4,
                ) );
            }
        
    }

    return $query_args;
}, 10, 2 );

For the bug, the offets aren’t getting applied to the Query Loops Pagination so it can lead to a mismatch when used.
Its being fixed in 1.7 which should be out mid february.
