Blocs for Mac V5.2 Beta Build 7

[Jerry]

@Norm

Looks like it’s been this way since Blocs V4

LoL.
I think it’s the first time ever I used it. Summer is approaching so I start looking for tickbox solutions

[Jerry]

@Norm

interesting I’ll test this one out.

I’ll check on the M1 later this PM. DIVs and Intel are not best friends at the moment.

Hey, @Norm.

A big on the M1 as well.

@Norm

Looks like it’s been this way since Blocs V4, so you and your intel laptop win bug finder of the year 2023.

I’m a humble person so no prize-giving ceremony is needed but thank you for the 3 weeks holiday to the Maldives. Flights, accommodation, and all meals/drinks included.

[Flashman]

I copied a single class, but then when I wanted to paste it on another header Blocs threw up an internal crash error. I said continue and it crashed anyway, so I sent in the report.

After restarting up pops a panel saying the port is being used by another process and no other version of Blocs is open. There do seem to be a lot of crashes reported lately.

[Norm]

The internal crash flag is set to true during betas which means any potential crash is flagged up and an alert is shown. In some of these situations Blocs would continue to run, so you will see more of these alerts during betas and testing. It helps to catch the silent bugs.

[Flashman]

I understand that but it went ahead and literally crashed when I pressed continue, before I could save the changes.

[Jerry]

Why have the up and down arrows become unusable?

[Norm]

Oh that’s caused by the recent support to scroll canvas with arrow keys. It’s stealing those events.

It’s fixed and ready for tomorrow.

[Norm]

That is one of the cases when it actually would crash

The OS manages that alert so it’s likely continue couldn’t work, I think that button is shown by default regardless of error.

[Norm]

Could you share the custom Bloc?

[Ricardo]

Hi @Norm,

It would be great if Blocs would support variable weight fonts. Any chance it could make to this next version?

BTW, the Wordpress featured images size is working great, thx.

[pippopelo]

@Jerry

Try below and you should be good.

Note: You’re hijacking an attribute used by Blocs which could potentially create all sorts of other issues. Use at your own risk!

<script>
        document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
            var scrollElements = document.querySelectorAll('.my-class');
            scrollElements.forEach(function(element) {
                element.setAttribute('data-scroll', "");
            });
            const locomotiveScroll = new LocomotiveScroll();
        });
</script>

Thank you very much Jerry, your help is always precious and appreciated, it all seems logical, even for me who am not familiar with coding. I am aware that there may be problems in manipulating the scrolling attributes of Blocs but I am interested in testing creative graphic solutions, which I will be pleased to share in the hope of interesting results.

Thanks again and greetings to warm Mauritius (if I’m not mistaken) from cold Denmark

[Jerry]

@Norm

Could you share the custom Bloc?

Roger and sent!

[Norm]

Good stuff thank you

[Norm]

Maybe one for Blocs V6

[Jerry]

Just a minor UI inconsistency.

[pippopelo]

Hi again Jerry, I’m sure I’m doing something really stupid, but I can’t insert locomotive-scrolls into Blocs like you did so well.
here what I did:
1. Insert JS and CSS minify into Project Settings

2. Insert the Scripts in Project-Header (also what you gave to me)

…and your script works, I can see

3. Give class “my-class” and different values attributes “data-scroll-speed” to the Elements “Text 01 etc” I will like to move

AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING

But I trust that you have a very simple solution (obviously for you) to solve my problem,

I remain confident waiting for your response and I attach also the project file in case you want to look at my mistakes

BLOCS PROVA LOCO 01 2.bloc (99.6

[Norm]

I have found the cause of this crash and have it patched up ready for build 8.

[Jerry]

@pippopelo

a very simple solution

For what?

Your project moves for me…

[pippopelo]

…Did you just open and try, right?
Mine doesn’t even want to get up from the chair

This is just too weird!!!
