Starting record offset in Block builder. Only been asking for it since V4.0.0

Just curious, what does this mean?

Instead of records #1 to 8, you show records #2 to 9 in the block?

 

If I'm reading this correctly, the only reason you need the offset is to insert an ad, correct?

No. I want to build a page full of various blocks from the same database, but those blocks should be able to pick up where the previous block left off.

The reason I want this is so that I can have, for example, the latest 3 articles at the top in a carousel format, then maybe another block of some in a grid, then below that I might want a compact list. Take a look at my front page. I did that with 5 blocks, each with a different layout, all pulling from the same database, and I use the offset plugin I mentioned to increment the articles as the blocks progress. There is an added benefit of being able to insert ads if I want to, but that is almost secondary. I'm trying to build a web-magazine type layout with this.

My current blocks use a modified version of @opentype's SuperBlocks template, but I could come pretty darn close to replicating my V4 front page out of the box in V5 if I had that offset feature. I'm not saying I need my V5 site to be identical to my V4, but this functionality would be game changing for Pages. Offset is something I use all the time on my wordpress sites for this same reason and it would significantly increase the power and flexibility of Pages.

Also, while I have you, a toggle to turn off the block header/name would be welcome too. When building a page like this, we don't need to display the name/title of each block feed. I know you can delete out the text from the title, but the vestigial bar still renders at the top of the block with no text in it.

 

And without the offset plugin, that’s how I had to do things and I’d have loads of custom blocks to maintain. If it is built into the primary widget setting, I can just put up a bunch of standard issue IPS blocks and adjust settings as needed.

Logged and scheduled for 5.0.4.

 

It's all good, I just didn't want disappointment that we've not added anything major. We have lots of thoughts about what to add though, so keep on telling us what you need.

Something along the lines of @opentype 's SuperDocs would be a great add. I want to upgrade one of my other sites to v5 but I depend on that app quite a bit.

IPS kinda did that already. The 5.x templates now have a header image (like my templates), category images (which my templates supported) and a navigation widget (like SuperDocs). Of course it’s not identical, but pretty close.
