Hi @Bill , This looks brilliant !!! Thanks for your hard work!
i did look for a demo as @Jannis has mentioned, but I did actually see this bric this afternoon on your home page as was showing some friends your brics and there is no demo but I have seen its working on your home page! - now I have sent you an email testing how it works…my apologies.
One quick question - will there be an opportunity to add custom shapes/images/logos etc?..The shapes are fine - but just incase I have a a client that might want to do something a little different!
OK - had another go. I found on the Mac that you had to click the send button to get the DeSpam to work. So I went back to the iPad, and still couldn’t get it to work.
When I click on the appropriate image and try to drag it across, the whole page moves.
I want to keep this a simple as possible, there is a lot of php that defines those shapes & it would be a nightmare to try & insert other things & then you would loose all ability to style the interaction colors, so no I don’t think that’s a good idea. The styling should allow anyone to style all the colors to make it fit into your site’s color scheme.
Yes, I see that - it’s being caused by my site page having elements outside of the device width & I’ve now forced the overflow to not happen so the page should not move & you should be able to drag the shapes on mobile devices - but this has nothing to do with my bric.
Just be aware that on my site’s homepage, you will need to be patient when scrolling down on a mobile device, as it will probably ‘resist’ flicking for a few seconds until it settles down. You can always click ‘Contact’ to get down to the form, if you don’t have any patience
Hi Bill,
changing font in the side panel ends up with a Blocs crash.
This happens only with version 5.0.5-b2. All good with version 5.0.4.
MacOS 13.2RC.
Using your bric changes the page where the bric stays from html to php.
Is that correct and has it any side effects for the navigation on the Website and/or SEO?
Do you need verification for your Forms, look no further. This will help put an end to fake messages or request! No need for any API key. Love the Bric!
As far as I know DeSpam is the only bric available for Blocs.
