Von Geraint Edwards

YOOtheme allows you to quickly create beautiful responsive sites with styles that can be customised with relative ease.

However, implementing a new datasource for JEvents I quickly ran up against limitations on what I could implement. Trying to recreate some of the complex layouts, the special field types, conditional display requirements and conditional formatting needed for events was pretty much impossible.

In addressing these shortcomings I realised that I could do this in a way that could be applied to articles as well as events. The net result is the ability to bring in much of the sophistication and flexibility of EasyLayouts into YOOtheme - hopefully creating the best of both worlds.

I'd like to demonstrate how I have been able to recreate the EasyLayouts demo site (https://demo.easylayouts.net) using YOOtheme and show how I have been able to implement advanced filtering of items and content, dynamic content fetching and the ability to 'import' complex layouts into YooTheme that are just too complex or fiddly to implement natively in YOOtheme itself.
