I am happy to announce my latest plugin/template set. I’ve put everything I learned from creating my previous templates into this one, creating a super powerful and flexible block template set. Enjoy! 

 

Congrats on the new release and nice work, I like how you brand your addons and appreciate the attention to detail.

Would you recommend this addon over SuperGrid for the same purposes? I'm trying to understand what the differences between the two are.

Hello I would like to know what should be the correct dimensions to upload an image inside a topic in order to generate correct thumbnails. Thanks

Hello,

When using the pages block and selecting 6 articles to show just like you display in your demo, the last 3 articles do not show in mobile. I tested this on your demo page for SuperBlocks and the same issue occurs there too. Not positive if this isn't by design and is wai.

The way I use your pages SuperBlock is I select featured articles to show in that block. I then use the SuperGrid blocks to display unfeatured articles so I don't duplicate the articles on my index. So those last 3 articles need to display or the end-user doesn't see those articles unless they click into the category itself.

Kind Regards

 

I might add if I select to show only 5 articles in that pages block, 3 articles will not show in that feed, only the top 2. The issue seems to be displaying that second line in mobile.

Please consider making this optional and let the site owner determine what's best for our audience. Showing all top news is important.

Thank You, regards

 

@opentype -  Please pardon my rookie question. I would like to use superblock but my skills are D- in Pages app. Do you have some video which I can follow? I would like to update my homepage but i am having hard time. I created page and when I try to drag and drop, I don't see blocks. Under blocks option, I don't see superblocks.

It’s a template. You need to create a custom feed block and then assign that template. Then you access that custom block on the front page. Please follow the instruction in the “Additional Information” tab. It walks you through every step.

hi @opentype I just installed the SuperBlocks plugin and I can see the templates under the Content tab for some things like a Downloads Feed but for some reason Image Feed and Album Feed is not showing the superblocks as a template selection, I only see the standard one. Any ideas?

Edit** I just saw there was an XML to download for Gallery. my mistake!! Please ignore.

Hi @opentype.

I saw other members reported issues with PHP v8 beside me a while ago. Is there any fix coming up soon for thing plugin to support PHP v8? 

Already submitted. Waiting for approval. 

Is it possible to truncate or wrap the titles for the images feed block? I am getting things looking like this. Also, in mobile it makes the browser wider then the screen.

Thank you!

 

When I moved the blocks around, suddenly the images from the blog entries were gone – and I didn't manage to get them back.

Pretty sure it is not related to moving things around but to the number of entries, which defines the layout that is chosen. And in turn, this also affects which images are shown. Currently, the main entry would be the blog entry 4, which doesn’t have a title image at the moment. Before you added that entry, it would have been a different layout with 3 images in one row. 

If you want to force a specific layout, set the number of entries in the block settings and then make sure to have at least this many entries in the feed. That way, there won’t be any surprises when you add new entries. 

Super blocks is pretty great, not going to lie. However, we've hit a small snag in ours. Is there a way to have the blog entry feed have each entry have the entire block be clickable to get to the entry? Thanks!

That’s not an option, no. 

 

That’s not an option, no. 

What would it take to get something like this working?
