Lay Theme Forum

Thank you @arminunruh

I didn’t know that we could delete the phone layout and create a new one.
I tried that and it fixed the issue!

Regarding the “Not syncing text” warning, it never appeared for me and I believe I figured out why.

That warning only appears when a text element is created in one layout, then added to the other layout with the sync option, and only after that the text is edited with an Expand/Collapse Link.

But when the text element is created in one layout, edited with an Expand/Collapse Link first, and only after that added to the other layout (with the sync option), the warning doesn’t show up and the links get synced between both layouts.

Also, even with the first method, the warning doesn't show up when the Expand/Collapse Link is inside a Table Element.

I think these are the reasons why the issue happened in my case, unfortunately.
Do you think it would be possible to make these behaviors more consistent by default?

hey @arminunruh, I tested it and now the “Disabled scrolling” toggle seems to be working perfectly. With that option unchecked, the previously mentioned position issue of the movable elements is fixed!

However, when that option is enabled, all of those issues still happen just like before :/
Do you have any idea on how to fix this (on both cover image and sticky elements)?

@arminunruh I unchecked that box on both websites and the problem still persists.
Also, I cleared the cache (on browsers and websites), and even with that box unchecked, the scroll seems to be disabled by default, which is weird.

PS: I just noticed that the cover image issue happens in other browsers as well (e.g. Safari and Chrome), and not only in Firefox.

hi @arminunruh

I have noticed that when I open an overlay page in Firefox, there are some elements on the main page that change their position. For now, I’ve only seen position changes in movable elements such as:

• cover image with parallax (https://aaltar.com/edmond-catalogue/ — “Index” is the overlay page)
• sticky elements (https://inesbaptista.com/ — “About” is the overlay page)

I tested this in several browsers, and I can only see it happening in Firefox.
Do you have any idea why this happens and how to solve it?

Here are some screen recordings of the issues:

Hey @arminunruh
I think issues 2 and 3 are fixed now, thank you!

Regarding the first issue:

Since all the desktop and mobile layouts have synced elements (with “Sync Element Content”), when I change the Expand/Collapse Row Links on mobile, it creates issues on desktop and vice versa. So it’s basically creating problems that the user doesn’t expect and can miss.

I understand the row ID process method, but maybe, for lack of a better one in this context, it would be more user-friendly to automatically remove the Expand/Collapse links on synced elements (of the later added layout). That way, it wouldn’t create subsequent issues on the first layout, and we would still be able to keep the text synced between layouts (we would just need to add the expand/collapse links manually on each layout).

Also, where’s that “Not syncing text” warning? I didn’t see it anywhere :/

PS: I think the Accordion element would fix pretty much all the issues (and reduce the update complexity of this page) if only it had the possibility of having more than one column. Are you thinking of adding that feature in a near future?

It's working! Thank you @arminunruh

hey @arminunruh, any updates on this?

@arminunruh the issue still happens unfortunately :/
You can easily check when clicking on the 'Web' category, which is supposed to show only one project.

Ah, I see :/

My goal was to have the autoplay feature on, but if it's not supported on other browsers, I'll keep the autoplay off with custom controls on (and unmuted by default).

Thanks anyway!

hey @arminunruh, I've just sent you the email.

I think the issue is related to the "Show all projects" option, because when I disable it the filters seem to work.

hi @arminunruh,

Lately, I’ve been working a lot with the Table elements and Collapsed Rows, and noticed at least three different issues. All of them can be found here —> https://inesbaptista.com/production/

1. On this page, I'm using many Expand/Collapse Row Links and Table Elements. All Tables were created in the Desktop layout and then inserted (synced) into the Mobile layout, so I expected them to behave the same way as on desktop, since the rows have exactly the same order and quantity. However, most of the Expand/Collapse Links on Mobile are not working. When I try to add them manually in the Mobile layout, some still work on Desktop while others stop working. It would be great if this could be fixed, as otherwise I would have to unsync everything and recreate the expand/collapse links manually for each layout (which seems unnecessary since the layouts are the same).

2. On the same page, I noticed an issue related to adding content to Table elements. When I edit a cell in one table, the new content is automatically added to another table I edit afterward (always in the first cell of the first column, I believe). This happens frequently and is a nightmare to correct since I have to edit one table at a time and constantly update the page to prevent it from happening again :'(
   I am sending a screen recording on the link below so you can better understand the issue.

3. The last problem concerns the opening/loading behavior of collapsed rows. Sometimes they open more than expected and then “jump” to the correct size afterward. I believe this is related to changes in the browser window width. I also added a screen recording of this on the same link.

Let me know if you have any questions about this, and if you can help with these issues. Thank you!

hey @arminunruh

Not sure if this is related, but I noticed that since the last update, the Thumbnail Grid disappeared from my studio's homepage. The element was still present in the Laytheme backend but unfortunately it was not visible on the frontend.

I deleted it and added a new one. Even though I can see it now, the filters have stopped working properly :/

You can check the issue here —> https://aaltar.com

It’s already working, thank you @arminunruh!

One more question: when I turn the autoplay feature on, how can I unmute the video with the Lay Custom Controls activated? I can’t seem to find that option/icon :/

Of course... 🤦‍♂️ That was a previous code I forgot to delete.
Thank you!

hi @arminunruh

Not sure if this is directly related, but Vimeo videos with Lay Custom Controls are not working either. I can only see the thumbnail and the play icon, and clicking is disabled.

You can check the issue on the url below:

PS: Will it be possible to have custom Lay controls on YouTube links?

Hi @arminunruh, any updates on the new texteditor?
Or even on the multiple columns feature?

Thanks!

hey @arminunruh, sorry for the late reply.

It seems that the Expand/Collapse Row Link inside a Table is already working.
However, I am still having some issues with other regular links inside tables.

For example, on the URL below, the “Watch Video” link is not working. The link is just simple text inside a table cell, with an external link to YouTube.

Can you help me figure out what the issue is?
Thank you

hey @arminunruh,

It seems that the Expand/Collapse Row Link doesn't work when it's inside a Table element :/ Is this a bug or is it supposed to behave like that?

Thank you!

Thanks anyway, @arminunruh!
If you have updates on this please let me know

hey @arminunruh,

The ‘watch video’ link on the right side would be nice, but my main focus is having 2 (or 3) columns inside every collapsed section (as you can see in the example at the bottom of the page I previously sent).

I’m also trying to avoid using custom HTML inside the textbox to make it easier for the client to update the content :/
