Masonry for Archive with Genesis Framework

[FlorenceNovembre]

Hello !
I am using my child Theme on Genesis Framework.
I need help to figure out how to apply Masonry on Posts loop, general archive page (my home page) and Category Archives.
The plugin Simple Masonry Layout by Raju Tako works well BUT is incredibly and unacceptably slow.
How can i apply a real masonry layout directly in my functions?
Masonry is already available in wordpress right?
Any clue please?
Google and Ecosia are not really answering on this...
Have a nice day,
Florence

Hi Florence,

Yes, you can apply Masonry layout directly in your functions without using a plugin. You can use the Masonry library that is included with WordPress.

Here are the steps to apply Masonry layout to your posts loop and archives:

Enqueue the Masonry library in your functions.php file. You can add the following code:
php
Copy code
function enqueue_masonry() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'masonry' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_masonry' );
In your archive.php or index.php file (depending on which one you use for your home page), add a class of "masonry" to your container element. For example:
html
Copy code
<div class="masonry">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- Your post loop code here -->
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>
Finally, you need to initialize the Masonry layout in your JavaScript file. You can add the following code:
javascript
Copy code
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.masonry').masonry({
itemSelector: '.post',
columnWidth: '.post',
percentPosition: true
});
});
Make sure to adjust the "itemSelector" and "columnWidth" selectors to match your HTML structure.

You can use the same code for your category archives by adding the "masonry" class to your category archive template file.

I hope this helps you to implement the Masonry layout without using a slow plugin. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hello Davislee21222,
Thank you so much for your answer!
I understand for part 1 and 3.
But for part 2 : do i need to write my own loop in a index.php or a archive.php in the purpose of adding the class masonry?
Because i use directly the genesis parent template, just modified by hooks in my functions.
Is there a way to add masonry class with a hook or something like this, without creating a child archive with the loop? Something like "php please take the original loop and any loop and add masonry class on it please php thank you"
?
Have a nice day!
F.

Hello!
Okay just
`add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'iso_apply_div_before' );
function iso_apply_div_before() {
echo '<div id="grid-container" class="transitions-enabled fluid masonry js-masonry grid">';
}

add_action( 'genesis_after_loop', 'iso_apply_div_after' );
function iso_apply_div_after() {
echo '</div>';
}
