Hi Nikko, sorry it has taken me awhile to follow up on your suggestion. I now realize that a shortcode solution isn’t very user friendly for someone (the end client) who doesn’t understand how they work…it isn’t intuitive (enough). The gallery block works best because one can drag and drop the images, it’s visual. So, I’m wondering how I can set the lightbox images to link to an attachment page. I thought perhaps I could use the image’s permalink…but no image is displayed on that page, likely because index.php doesn’t call the image? Is there another template that I can specify? I’ve been trying to find a solution to what I thought was a pretty basic thing…gallery image links to a page where more detail about the image can be viewed. Any guidance would be very helpful.
I’m so sorry, I just realized that I set the google fonts to load in the footer, and it so clearly states this would happen. So anyone who reads this, if you’re fonts are flickering when the page loads/refreshes…go to the Performance section of the Enfold area of the dashboard, and scroll to the very bottom of that section and uncheck the option to load Google fonts in the footer. I could be wrong (support team?) but I don’t think that option is necessary if you’re only using one or two fonts…the font should load quickly enough.
I’m not able to select image sizes (via ATTACHMENT DISPLAY SETTINGS) when I upload/select the background image for the logo. It only loads one size which leads to the issue whereby the image only loads in the logo container, rather than the full width of the header. Is there a setting to change this behavior so that multiple image sizes are available? I am able to select image sizes in an element like a color box…so, that leads me to believe that the feature is turned on, but for some reason not functioning in the Enfold dashboard.
Hi Ismael,
I’ll tinker around with this and see if I can get it to work. Thanks for your helpful suggestion.The feature in the image media element allows for a caption to be added as an overlay, but why not allow the media caption to be used…for example, as a checkbox to allow the original caption vs. the input field used in this element?
Basilis,
I wasn’t implying that the work to custom code this functionality would be covered by support, as you implied. But if there was a setting I could change to show the caption, then knowing that would be helpful. I suspect a number of users would find it helpful to know how to do this so that photos used in slideshows could, in fact, display a photographer’s credit. Seems pretty useful, I think. Also, to be clear, I want to make sure you understand that I’m referring to “caption”, the longstanding nomenclature of “caption” used to refer to the content associated with each media item, versus what the full width slider refers to as “caption” (the text animated over a slide). Best to eliminate the confusion. If anyone else sees this and has anything to add, feel free. If the current CSS is making that caption invisible, clue me into where that is done? If the media caption isn’t called at all, when a full width slider is used…would a layered slider allow me to display it? More helpful feedback is greatly appreciated. :)Hi Victoria,
Thank you. For anyone reading this pondering the same issue. If you make such a text element as a “label” that is hidden, you can drop it (and whatever content you’re labelling) into a column, then save that whole column as a template. Then you can drop that template on to other pages, or duplicate it and have different versions…if that suits your needs. If you’re passing off the editing to a client, it may be more helpful than not to include the label (hidden text element).What I have been doing is maintaining a non-published page of “originals” where I can edit, then resave the template (using same name). However, I believe once a template is changed, it doesn’t populate to the previous instances of that template. Correct?
I believe if you commit such a template to a page, then include that page content via the Page Content element, you also would thereby have a way to maintain the original and have edits populate to each instance of that page content.
Victoria may be able to confirm/refute that idea.
I’m not so sure that is a viable workaround. That means the text element has to follow the catalog element around and requires twice the editing should the contents of the catalog change. It would be much more efficient and user friendly if you had a way to simply add a slug or descriptor to the catalog element. Would it be possible to submit this as a feature request?
Hi Victoria,
That is helpful, thank you. I know how to find the ID, but those editing the content will see this:And clearly it shows what content is there (“Brunch”). I think what my original post may have implied is that the Page Content element box should show more detailed content (as a clue to the person making edits)…that isn’t what I meant. I now see why Basilis responded accordingly.
Upon further thought, I think I’m looking for a way for the user to be able to click “Brunch (page, 409 )” which would be linked back to that page (in editing mode, not view). That way if a user climbs into the “Menu” page which is a stack of Page Content elements, he/she would be able to quickly get back to the page that needs the edits…rather than having to click back out to Pages, and find the page.
I hope that makes sense. Again, it sounds like this is falls into the “feature request” category (the form for which may still be “frozen”?). But at least this topic is here for other users and I hope this is a worthwhile idea for a worthwhile and helpful page element.
I should have made that more clear. I apologize for the confusion.
Basilis,
I wasn’t implying that the work to custom code this functionality would be covered by support, as you implied. But if there was a setting I could change to implement this, then knowing that would be helpful. I suspect a number of users would find it important to know. Perhaps if one could change the call to display the page title (e.g., get_the_title() ) rather than the page ID? Just a thought. If anyone else sees this and has anything to add, feel free. :)Hi dvbaarda,
Could you describe in more detail how you used a product list to create a menu? I don’t see “product list” in the theme and when I do find it, some guidance would be most appreciated. Perhaps you’re using this method so you’ll have a list of menu products you can include in various parts of the site (rather than list items in a catalogue element)?Thank you in advance!
A sort-by-attribute feature would be helpful…to be able to enter a series of menu items and classify those as “vegan” or “vegetarian” or “gluten” free. Rather than grouping those items in a catalogue element, those individual items would be tagged with those relevant terms (or rather than tagged, maybe using categories or a custom field) and then the user could sort/search the menu items to find all similar items (e.g., “vegan”, “vegetarian”, “gluten free”). At present, it appears that the catalogue items are “dumb” meaning they cannot be selected from within another catalogue element and shown there as well.
Can this feature be added or is there a way to do this with the current feature set?
