Take into account that you can use various social networks in a social stream, regardless of the type of layout. This feature opens up broad horizons for experimentation with a variety of social networks and layouts.

Let us take a closer look at each of the suggested layouts.

Masonry Layout

Masonry layout was present in previous versions of Flow-Flow plugin and is well-known by experienced users. This type of layout is similar to the feed of Pinterest and can include images of different heights. The width of each element is determined by the number of columns, by which your social stream is divided into.

Masonry layout can be called a universal type of placement for elements in the social feed. It is not demanding a specific format of images, so allowing you to share a variety of content in a single stream. This option is perfect for social walls on broad themes.

Fixed Height Layout

Fixed Height layout features simple format and perfectly symmetrical design for any social stream. This effect sought by the fixed width and height of all images and elements in the social wall. Elements of grid layout look well-chosen by each other segments of the same structure.

Fixed Height layout is perfect for social streams with a certain type of content. For example, it may be the work of artists of the same size or different news posts, or video film industry announcements for new products. A variety of options is very large, even for such a strict style.

Justified Layout

Justified layout is the most flexible solution for the placement of elements in your social stream. A good example of justified layout is the display of images in Google search results. A key feature of this layout is a fixed height and arbitrary width for any image.

Justified layout is best suited for social streams with mostly entertainment content. For such social walls it is reasonably important to accommodate large amount of images in various formats. A justified layout to cope with this task better than other types of layouts.

Card Builder

The possibilities for customization of each card in your social stream come to a new level. Previously you were only available to choose the common styles, but now you can configure the order of all the elements of the card: text, image, title, author, social counters and other. This feature is available through an easy drag-n-drop editor.

This approach allows you to create a truly unique social wall, even if you do not use personal social accounts, but popular community or public pages of other users. With new capabilities for setting up by Flow-Flow Card Builder, you can focus on those elements that are considered as the key ones to your audience.

Responsive Design for Mobile Devices

The settings for displaying your social stream on mobile devices have been significantly expanded. Now you can independently determine the number of columns and the width of the padding between them for display on various screen sizes. Thus you can adjust the optimal display of your social wall on big and small screens independently.

Social Activities Counters

Social Activities Counters are now available for display in each card of your social stream. This means that visitors of your social wall will immediately see the rating of a particular post in the feed and will be able to assess the extent of its distribution through the network. Such indicators often motivate users to participate in discussions and to assess the post by themselves.

Please note that the social activities counters are made in authentic style, that meets the definition of a social network. This gives your website visitors the possibility to immediately differentiate the positions of the different social networks in form of the cards` appearance in your social stream.
