Hey everyone, here is the 1st beta of Blocs V5.1.1. This build has the first collection of tweaks and fixes after the launch of 5.1.
One notable improvement is regarding navigation dropdown links, please read on for details of that.
Navigation Dropdown Links
In Blocs 5.1 we issued a fix to prevent dropdown links within navigations being set to white on white background. In this new version of Blocs we have a made a few tweaks to this fix so it is a little more flexible, meaning it can be manually customised using the Class Editor.
make sure the navigation Bloc has its theme set to default. This will not currently work on dark themes.
Open the Class Manager and add the new subclass for navigation dropdown links. Editing this class will let you set the navigation dropdown link colour or background color using the Class Editor.
Any chance we could have an option in the page settings to copy the URL from the path settings? This would be useful when required for other purposes like adding structured data. Right now I cannot even select the text and copy/paste it.
On a side note, I see the path is copying capital letters from the page name, where they would actually be in lower case inside the web browser as a URL. It is also missing the trailing / on clean URL pages.
I don’t see %pagePathLevel% resolving correctly in preview.
I put it in an element’s attribute on a page other than home w/ project settings ‘Clean Page URL’s’ enabled.
• Getting ‘./’ when it should be ‘../’
• Also, would it be possible within edit-mode to have a variable that shows if the current page has ‘Clean Page URL’s’ enabled or not? Then paths could be assigned w/o having to use slow published js further down the line.
When working through larger projects I sometimes think it would be useful to know what stage I am at in terms of page number. Here I know there are 114 pages, but if I knew this was page 57 for example I could quickly calculate how many pages had been edited that day or how many need to be done etc, so it could be useful for targeting work goals or even deciding I’ve done enough and should take a break.
As an afterthought, perhaps the project overview could even calculate how many pages had been worked on in any given session.
If I exclude an item from export like a paragraph of text and then paste it to another page it has to be manually excluded again. I cannot help thinking that should be carried over by default.
