Lay Theme Forum

Hello Armin,

here is the link: rm.metagebirge.de
The site is still under construction and many things are still unfinished. Our realized works filtered on the start page under “Projekte” have Prev/Next Project links at the bottom of the corresponding project pages. However, these currently also lead to other project types (News/Publikationen). A “Alle” category has been set up in the backend as the default category so that all content appears on the start page in the project thumbnail grid regardless of the tags used. The second category is “Arbeiten”, under which all realized works are summarized. We do not use the category filter, only the tag filter. You can also have a look at the backend if required. Thank you!

hello armin,
Unfortunately, after the 7.7.3 update on December 31, the project navigation for navigating to the next/previous project no longer works as expected. As I understand the update description, the navigation should lead to the next project, which after the standard category has the same category as the current project. The corresponding option in the Lay Options is active, but the generated links always lead through all existing projects, regardless of the categories. Is there a way to enable the original behavior without downgrading to a pre 7.7.3 version (I don't want to lose the great new copy/paste feature!)?

Hello Armin,
thank you for your feedback.
The use case is a free poster-like layout of text blocks and images that all have different column widths. It looks good on a desktop monitor, but not on a tablet because the desktop content is only scaled down 1:1 and all the blocks are actually too narrow.
As I understand the element grid feature, all elements inserted there have the same width - resulting from the number of columns. This means that layouts with different image and textblock widths are not possible there. In short: I would very much like to see a custom tablet option for the Gridder in addition to the custom phone layout option.

I know that I can create my own phone layout manually. I had hoped that there would be a more granular adjustability analogous to the Bootstrap column classes (e.g. .col-sm-6 or .col-lg-3 etc.), which allow a very flexible breakpoint-specific setting of the column widths.
If I understand correctly, in Laytheme there is unfortunately only the preset number of columns and after the phone breakpoint the reduction to one column or an alternative phone layout to be created. Intermediate steps cannot be set. In my opinion, this is somewhat inconvenient.

Hello Laythemer,
is it correct that the Gridder columns only have 2 widths: up to the phone breakpoint the column width is the window width divided by the specified number of columns and below the phone breakpoint the column width is 100%? And if that's correct: are there simple ways to adjust this behavior?

Thanks for your feedback!

Hello Armin, thank you for your quick support.
I hadn't yet tested the last update 7.46 in this regard, but according to the description there was an adjustment from you.
However, I have now adapted my page and menu structure so that it works well even without project overlays.

Hello everybody,
Is there any news on this topic? I also have the problem that, depending on the current language setting, clicking on the wrong language search result leads to a blank page. I also use Polylang.

It looks like opening the project overlay changes the overflow-y setting for the html element from "scroll" to "hidden". This is causing the main site to scale to full width when opening the overlay. Is it possible to change that somehow?

Yes, there is a scrollbar, wich disapears when I open the project overlay, you can see it here: https://rm.metagebirge.de. I'm on a mac (MacOS 13.7) and it happens in Firefox and Safari.

Hello,
when i use the project overlay feature - which is really a great option - there is a strange scale effect of the main page when opening and closing the overlay. In your example video it all looks pretty smooth, here it wobbles back and forth a bit unattractively... Is there a way to fix this?

Ah sorry for that. There are so many options to customize! Thanks!

Hello,
Is it correct that a mouseover over a project thumbnail shows the second thumbnail image directly without a transition? If so, can this be faded in and out? Thanks in advance!
