Lay Theme Forum

@fesch hey, you could probably achieve this using the 'expand/collapse row' feature within your overlay page.

hey, this one is really simple, lightweight and easily customisable with css: https://power-plugins.com/plugin/mini-wp-gdpr/

hey i just had a quick look and looks like it is something to do with this:

#grid.id-3 {
padding-top: 30%;
}

if you untick/delete this in chrome inspector the white section goes away.

@CineST hey sorry for the late reply.

So what to do is:

Create your news categories so you have for example: "news 1", "news 2" and "news 3".

Create your news posts and assign them to the one of the news categories.

Create a new page and add 4 new blank rows.

Right click on row 2 and choose "collapse row", repeat this for rows 3 and 4. It should now say "collapsed" on rows 2, 3 and 4.

Go to More > News Element and at the top left of the dialog box choose "news 1" category - this will only show news from the "news 1" category. Drop this news element in the second row.

Repeat this step again but choose "news 2" from the categories dropdown this time and drop it into the third row.

Repeat again but choose "news 3" and drop into the fourth row.

Now create a text box and type in "news 1", highlight "news 1" and click the upward and downward arrow box (expand/ collapse row link) - this is along the top of the dialog box and to the left of the font name.

The expand row box dialog box will open up and then select "row 2" - you will know its been selected when it becomes a light violet colour. Also in this box tick "collapse other rows". Click Save and then Ok. Drop this text box into the first row.

Now create another text box and type in "news 2" and repeat the same steps but select "row 3" this time and again drop it beside the first text box in the first row.

Create another text box and type in "news 3" and repeat the same steps but this time select "row 4" and finally drop the textbox beside the other two textboxes on the first row.

Publish/Update the page and you should have a simple news category filter system :)

An extra tip would be to change the row gutters between the collapsed rows to 0 so when you filter them they show up in the same place.

Of course you can also call your news categories anything and the textboxes too can be something different - "news 1, news 2, news 3" are just examples.

Lastly, when you are in the expand/row collpase dialog box you can play around with the replacement text and the speed of which they open too.

Hope that helps!

Cheers!

hey, I get this too when I update a page with a table on it - it seems more so when I make lots of changes on the page it does this, if its just one or two it seems to update fine.

If you go to screen options (top right) > untick and retick 'gridder json' and copy all the coe there and then make a brand new page, on the new page go to the 'gridder json' again and overwrite and paste in the json from the other page and then make your changes that worked for me.

@danny hey do you mean so the highlighted text here has a blue background colour on the website and is also a link?

hey you can redownload the previous lay version that was working here and install it: https://lay-key-and-file-manager-clientdeploy-production.up.railway.app/

thanks armin, yeah it always says 'email sent' but still never arrives.

@arminunruh thanks armin, there is actually a free version of fluentcart but yeah all good, I don't mind using woocommerce for a shop, I was just looking at some alternatives.

anyway i'm glad fluentforms works with lay! you can also sell simple products via fluentforms and it has a stripe checkout.

hey, still having an issue with signing into laykeymanager.com with either "alasdair@alasdairdimmick.com" or "mail@creativerain.co.uk". It worked over a year ago but since then no laykeymanager sign in email ever lands in my inbox. Wonder if you could look into it? My host is Siteground, they said there were no logs to troubleshoot and I've whitelisted the domain and the laytheme email to try and strengthen the chance of the email arriving to my inbox but still not arriving.

I really appreciate you manually sorting my license keys when I ask but would be great if I could do it especially with the new update.

Thanks!

hey, I've started using fluentforms and fluentsmtp with lay and are working really well. I see they just released fluentcart a woocommerce competitor. On the back of how well their other plugins are I wanted to try it out but it doesn't seem to work with lay, even with the shortcode - the fluentcart shop page is blank and even the lay nav vanishes. Wonder why as fluentforms and fluentbooking shortcodes all work fine with lay. I tried ticking the content filter option but didn't change anything.

No rush at all with looking into it, more curious than anything. Fluentcart does look a lot slicker and less heavy than Woo so would be nice in the future to use it if it was possible.

Link to page where i'm trying out the Fluentcart shortcode is on: https://alasdairdimmick.com/shop/

Thanks,

Alasdair

do you know if lay is compatible with php 8.3? thanks!

@arminunruh thanks and no rush! that's a cool idea to integrate an image button into the text editor!

hey, I did something like this for a client using the expand/collapse row feature. You basically setup your rows like this:

first row: toggle text button (you could call this 'index')
second row: thumbnail grid
third row: project index

Right click the project index row (make sure the project index isn't dragged all the way to edge as you can't right click) and choose 'collapse row' (you can now move the index all the way to grid edge) and then open the text box on the first row and highlight 'index' and choose the button in the top centre with the up and down arrows 'expand/collapse row' link. This opens a dialog box, in there you could change the replacement text to something like 'images' and then click 'row 2' and 'row 3' so they are selected and then save.

I found in my scenario that turning off the 'collapse other rows' and 'scroll to expanded row' to work best and importantly making the gutter 0% between rows 2 and 3 so when you toggle between them they appear at the same height if that makes sense!

Hope that helps!
