Create your own Cover Stories layout

Angela Gaida

Right now, the Cover Stories macro comes with four predefined layouts for the news tiles. The idea is to offer a toolbox to create your own individual layout with as many tiles as you like.

We currently have a 2 by 2 grid of cover stories in one column and a news list in the next column. I have excluded the cover story items in the news list with a css hack to prevent them from appearing twice. Ideally these macro's work well together.

Michiel Groeneveld: That's a very interesting hack, thanks for sharing!

I would love to have this too. I would have vertical layout having eg. only one row with 4 tiles

We would also think that some more layout options would be necessary. Our customer specifically requested an option with 2 tiles in the top row and 3 at the bottom, an external UI consultant made a mockup, which I'll attach.

Thanks for your detailed input here! 
We appreciate your feedback. 
We will think about this feature and I will let you know when we have updates :)

It would be great to be able to define the number of rows and columns of one cover story macro.

And like the other comment shows, it would be even better to define different numbers of tiles for each row.
