Preloader behavior and customization

I Need Help
21

Hi there,
thanks @pumpkin @TrevReav @Norm for your attention.

Indeed, sometimes it’s OK in Safari, sometimes not. And OK in Chrome (but no split second flash, and a great black background :slight_smile:)
I’m using these 2 extensions : “Follow Links (1.0.2)” and "Owl Caroussel (1.2.1) »

As you understood, I know almost nothing in code, really don’t know what’s under the hood…

I’ve actually sent a package of my project to Norm.

Wait and see…

No problem, glad I can help.

I’ve just released beta build 3 of 3.5.5 that includes the additional pre-loader fallback patch.

https://forum.blocsapp.com/t/blocs-3-5-5-beta-build-3/11810

As this is a beta release, I would recommend you export and test your project before you push the changes into production. If that is not an option and you can’t wait for the dust to settle on the testing. What you could do is simply change out the files that are effected on your server, to see if the patch addresses the issue.

Here’s how:

  1. Export your project with 3.5.5 build 3.
  2. Open the export directory Blocs just created and locate the file style.css and the index.html page.
  3. On your server you will also find these two files, rename both style-backup.css and index-backup.html.
  4. Now you have renamed the original two files on the server move the newly generated files from Blocs (style.css and index.html) onto the server in place of the originals.
  5. Let us know when you have done it and we can all test it.

Backup
If the problem is not rectified, to revert your site back, simply remove the newly added style and index files from the server and rename the originals back to style and index (remove -backup from the file name). Doing this will force them to take their original place in the loading process.

I hope that helps.

@Norm is just the fastest developer I’ve ever seen.
I’ll backup and test it right now.

@Norm
Thanks for the Beta.

The preloader seems much quicker, nice !

…something is now wrong with my « Scroll FX » Fade in… Brics are visible, No fade… until a first refresh… The accordion’s first opening seems not animated (after two clicks, it’s ok…)
Preview mode inside Blocs or exported&online website are doing the same.

I think this is caused by the fact the javascript in Safari is tripping up at some point. Because the pre-loader is now removed after 2 seconds regardless, its showing the state of the page which is held because the JS is not being fully executed - (Scroll FX use JS).

I have your project, so I’ll run a bunch of tests removing parts here and there until I find the cause.
