Ghost helper or alternatives to sort posts according to specific rule

Developer help
1

hi, I’m new to the forum, my name is Michele and I’m an Italian Computer Science student. Lately I’ve been trying to develop a ghost project. I am looking for a method to create a custom grill in my home. I would like to create 6 lines which will go from 6 to 12 posts at most. A post takes up an entire line if the post contains a certain tag called “Gold”. otherwise the post will take up half of the line. In this case the line will be completed by the next post not containing Gold tag. I already have clear ideas about the (trivial) algorithmic strategy to obtain an ordering that allows me to do this. But being new to using ghost, I don’t understand how to create a helper that took a number of posts to give me this sorted array on which to then call my post-card.hbs for post rendering. in particular I have problems understanding where to write my function and how to register it. my version is 4.23. I currently use a local installation for testing but I also have a production installation on personal hosting

I hope you can help me. unfortunately the documentation for such use cases is a poor one for my current experience.
thank you

I think your best bet for doing something like this is using CSS Grid. You can see how Casper’s home page grid is done here:

Hi vikaspotluri123 and thanks for the reply. I cannot apply a strategy of this type a priori and I have already tried, but correct me if I’m wrong. I always need to fill in a maximum of six lines. Could be published in home 6 or 16 posts based on gold tags. the problem arises in cases where the order of the posts is something like this:

  1. no gold,
  2. gold,
  3. gold,
  4. no gold.
  5. no gold
  6. gold
  7. no gold
  8. no gold
  9. gold
  10. golg
  11. no gold

my three lines should therefore be composed like this:

obviously so the arrangement changes continuously making the home quite dynamic based on the latest posts published
