  • Not found error when updating site
    A alasdair17

    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.

    @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!

  • fluentcart
    A alasdair17

    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,

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

  • switch/toggle between project index and thumbnail grid?
    A alasdair17

    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!

  • introduce images into accordion
    A alasdair17

    hey i'm good thanks! and you?

    Here is the setup I'm working on: https://alasdairdimmick.com/work/ - its a work in progress still. I really like it but I think this will be difficult to translate it to mobile unless I can insert images into accordion but I could also just not use the accordion for mobile!

    Having the hover add on work for accordion would be cool as I could just make and edit them within the accordion text editor rather than in a text box outside it.

    Hope that makes sense!

  • introduce images into accordion
    A alasdair17

    hey @arminunruh

    I wonder if you were thinking of introducing images into the accordion?

    I'm experimenting with using the accordion to show a list of projects, clicking the accordion title shows the project description and then on hover on the accordion title an image shows fixed and centre.

    I see when you set a link to the accordion title there is no option for image hover here but I found a workaround if you setup a regular link with imagehover and paste that link into accordion title the imagehover works which is cool although is there anything I should be wary of using this workaround?

    Then I was thinking could this work for mobile but the imagehover and accordion on mobile scroll weren't working too smoothly so I tried pasting an image url into the accordion text editor instead of using imagehover and that does work but the sizing is a bit all over the place and obviously not responsive.

    Anyway, thought it was worth sharing as the accordion is great but being to have some images in there could be a great addition.
