Using Display Suite for the front page?
I'm learning to use DS to build a relatively simple site but where I like to "expose" various parts of the content on the front page. I think I could do this relatively easy using Panels and Views, but if possible I would like to avoid the extra weight from Panels and only use DS for all display, so what is best way to do this?
Read moreDisplay Suite and Responsive Themes
If I want to use an off-the-shelf "responsive" theme, will Display Suite still function properly? Or will it make the pages "non-responsive"? Is there anything I need to be aware of when using Display Suite and responsive themes?
Read moreDisplaying single node field with multiple values
I have a simple content type with a body text field which I allow to have up to 3 separate values. I then want to use display suite to display 3 equally spaced columns with the three body text values split across the three columns. However, in the manage display form I can only reference the body text field, not each value. Is there a way to do this?
(Ultimately I want to generalise this for when I have any number of values and columns.)
Read moreHow can I "remember" the choosen DisplaySuite view for the user's web session ?
I'm developing an e-commerce site (www.erboristeriadellasalute.it).
The category page layouts expose a filter for choosing between 3 different views (thanks to Display Suite).
My problem is that the user's selected view is not "saved" (at least) for the browsing session... you can try... if the user choose a particular view and then switches to another category, the category layout will be back to the default diplay suite view.
How can I "force" the selected view from a user to "default" one? At least for the session...
(sorry for my "awful" english)

Read moreExperiencing problem on hosted site with inability to save settings changes in DS
I am on Drupal 7.14 (and 7.19), running both DS 7.1.5.and 7.2.0 (trying everything). I have the site running on 3 hosts, and on a dev server (1.66GHz and 2GB ram). The site itself runs everywhere.
But, I am having a problem on hosted sites that I hope someone else has experienced, and can walk me through a solution ... please!
Read morePass link to a field (e.g. image or text field) in display suite
Can this be done with Display Suite?
1.
I have a file field (field_download) with which I load a PDF document into the node. This PDF field has a label "DOWNLOAD". Clicking on DOWNLOAD opens the PDF. Question 1: I'd like the PDF to open in a new window/tab.
2.
Then there is an image field (field_image) with which I load an image into the node. Question 2: Now I want the PDF link to be passed to the image so that a click on the image opens the PDF in a new window/tab.
Highlight search results
I cannot get the 'highlight search word' feature to work, and wonder if I've got the HTML selector wrong or something else? Attaching a screenshot of my settings for this. Would be grateful for any suggestions! Thanks.
Read moreD7 no comments on article
Hi. I have installed D7, and added module Display Suite. I have used this module to configure content type article, teaser and full content.
Everything works fine, but the comments for the article are not showing anymore. Comments are configured to show like other fields, cache has been cleared. Any help please?
Can I access field data with PHP code in a custom field using Display Suite Code?
Can I get a value in a node field in code? I want to use that code to make a decision on how to render an image or to determine which image will be displayed.
Using tokens doesn't work. I tried token_replace and token_scan, but they don't work. The $node variable is not available. $entity doesn't seem to contain node field data and I am not able to create a fully populated node.
I figured it out. I was making a syntax error while accessing $entity. I found it using Devel.
Thanks
Read moreQuestion about 7.x-2.0 concerning admin/config/people/accounts/display
Hi all, I've been reading through various postings on seemingly minor issues with DS through various sites/forums. I have one question regarding the 7.x-2.0 build. When attempting to "manage display" of the user, the display ends up broken. All other tabs, links, etc seem to be working.
At first, I thought it was an overlay issue, but after turning it off, clearing cache, etc. It still performs the same way. Then I thought it was possibly an issue with the Field Group module, which was disabled, cache cleared, and server even restarted. Still the same issue.
Read moreQuestion about Display Suite Search Results--is it possible to sort them in descending order?
I'm using Display Suite search to create search result pages. It works very well--except for one thing: the results seem to be random.
Is there a way to sort them in descending order? I read that it's possible to do this using a view block, but haven't seen any documentation or tutorials to accomplish this.
We're using Drupal 7.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Read moreDisplay Image Style Based on Taxonomy
I am playing around with display suite and wondering about conditional statements. I was writing some code for this but thought I would ask the DS group as well.
The issue I have is I would like to display a particular image style based on a term selected for the node.
I am still researching this but I wonder if anyone has run across this.

Read moreFormat tag fields with a separator (like in views)
Hi,
Just joined the group.
I have just started to use display suite and it's certainly saving me a bunch of time just setting teaser/full/custom view mode to a certain display, then I can re-use it with different content types.
Usually I'd hard code a load of stuff in each view using tokens and custom html to get the output I want.
One thing I can't seem to do is format the tags field. In views I can select that they will be inline, with a ',' or whatever as a separator.

Read moreUser picture in DS override of account form
I use DS to present the user/#/edit form in a two column layout. Fields are added through the default fieldable user entity (no Profile2).
However, the user picture is not shown in the list of available fields for user/#/edit. It is shown when viewing a user and when overriding node/#/edit. Have I overlooked something?
Kind regards,
