Responsive Height Controls

More or Less includes a responsive height mode that automatically adjusts the collapsed height across different screen sizes.

  • H.Min defines the smallest collapsed height.
  • Growth controls how much the height increases on larger screens.
  • H.Max defines the largest collapsed height.

This allows collapsed content to feel natural on mobile, tablet, and desktop without needing custom CSS.

Why Use More or Less?

Long blocks of content can overwhelm visitors and make pages harder to scan.

More or Less helps you present information in a cleaner, more organised way while still giving visitors access to the full content when they want it.

The result is a better reading experience, cleaner layouts, and more control over how your content is presented.

nice bric :clap: , very useful

OOOOOOH! You Beauty!
Excellent, just what I was looking for - just purchased.

And I’m assuming it would all be ok with Volt CMS?

Cheers!

Hey Trevor,

Not just yet :cry:. Just a little matter of making sure Volt has populated content before More or Less does its thing. I feel like we can make it happen though @Jannis :grin:

Thanks Pete, More or Less is a nice addition to Blocs. I’m also hoping this can work with Volt in the future.

I used it in a monthly newletter site. We have monthly featured events that this is perfect for. You can see it in action here. https://buttonwoodbanner.com/

Your skills are clearly seen. Great Bric!! Thank you, Pete :smiley:

As I watched your video I thought wouldn’t it be cool actually as you’re scrolling having the text expanding (appearing) and collapsing (disappearing), without clicking on a text or an icon. Especially your last example with the cards I could see that looking really cool.

What video?

When you go to the blocs store…

Or my “old” website.

Just a thought, would this work with Volt if the word or character count was set to 0?
