How would i get Drupal to show a 3x3 grid of nodes of a certain content type.

I've tried using both Format:Grid and Format:Table. Also I used Show: Fields and Show: Teasers but it doesn't work out the way I want.

I am wondering if it's best to use 2 separate blocks of 3 nodes with an offset for the second block so that the 1st block shows nodes 1,2,3 and the 2nd block shows 4,5,6.

This is all related to 1 single content type with fields which include. 1 Image, and 1 URL.

    You can show your own view mode (like teaser, but a display format you have defined yourself) in Views, so you could try using Drupal's built-in capabilities or the Display Suite module to get a view mode that shows the nodes the way you like, and then use a grid or table to display that view mode.

  • I had a look at display suite but that looks really complicated. I was hoping there might just be something to add to the CSS to make it work

  • You don't need Display Suite; you can use view modes without Display Suite and handle the display with a theme template. You could also probably do it just in CSS but pure CSS questions are better asked on Stack Overflow than here.

Using format and pager settings this should be possible.

Add Format type of Grid

Format - Grid

Set the number of columns under the Format settings to "3"

Number of columns - 3

Set page to only show 9 items

Page - Display specific number - 9

Set the filter to only show nodes of a specific content type: Filter - Content Type

Now all you need to do is set the view fields, filter, sort, and other options to your liking. Hope this helps!
