Not sure why. I would have to check that out in your ACP to find any problems.
-
I answered to that. Ignoring what I said and just repeating your request again won’t get us anywhere. If you want to see forum sidebars, you can achieve that on your own site already. It is shown on the product page:
-
There is not much to see. It looks exactly like the stock feature of putting blocks in forums – except that you can have different blocks in different forums.
-
-
You can raise the Record Image sizes (normal and thumbnail) in your Pages database. You will need to re-upload your images afterwards.
-
This is how I show the map on my demo page: Just make sure you have all the special field names set up or they won’t get the special treatment. Also, don’t forget to have all your databases chosen correctly in the plugin settings: The first box must contain all your databases having the reviews. The second box must contain all your databases with the review objects.
-
Nope. Doesn’t work. I see the problem. The layout with 5 entries does indeed hide the first two entries, not the last 3 as intended. I provide an update to SuperBlocks. If you don’t want to wait, switch to a different amount of entries than 5.
-
What’s the website? Reducing the amount of posts on mobile is a feature, not a bug. It shouldn’t hide the most recent ones though.
-
Yes, you can use categories. That is still correct. But you keep asking about “linking a category”, which I keep telling you is not possible. Databases are linked. The process of connecting your two 2 databases does not change at all just because you use categories.
-
I just answered that. This isn’t possible. You can only link to an entire database.
-
You don’t. You can only point to the entire database as described in the instructions. This can both be an advantage or disadvantage for your specific case. If it gets too complex for you with the categories, you don’t have to use them and just create always 2 database for each review topic.
-
The instructions stay the same. You can cross-link it however you like really. You can combine different review object trough categories or keep them separate through individual databases. Depends on how you want to present that on your site. And you can have the actual reviews in separate databases or in one separated through categories. All possible.
-
Sorry, I was talking about the black background of the database link field. The header area can’t be changed. It’s up to you to turn on the Record Image field for the review database. If you do that, people can add a main image for each review and that will appear in that header area. If there is no image, it will look like it does now. As you can see here on my demo site: https://www.opentype.space/mode3reviews/
-
It’s the database relationship field. I don’t know much about your site or the stuff you want to review. If different objects need different review options, then you either need to: – use categories in your reviews database and turn different fields per category on and off – or use different databases for the reviews.
-
That’s correct this way. You can turn off the black background if you want in the field settings. I would also recommend to make that field required, so every review has to have linked entry being reviewed. Showing the field makes sense for the listing view, since the rest of the review (title, images) doesn’t necessarily show WHAT is being reviewed. Yes. Put a link somewhere. In the sub-menu, the sidebar, wherever. You can directly link to the form to create a new review record. Sure, you can use categories. You can use anything that Pages can do. That’s the beauty of building this on top of Pages. 😉
-
Should be fine.
-
Yep. While it sounds good in theory, it was tried over and over again on so many sites, but it failed and was removed. It remains a back end feature for all sorts of services, but only there.
-
The cross-link option appears when you select database relationship:
-
You go to the “Fields” listing of the Review Users database. There you click Create New and follow the rest of the instructions.
-
In the database settings.
-
-
Interesting. Then you better post it in the Feedback forum as feature request. There is no way currently to find username in posts and to anonymize them.
-
Parts of the GDPR read very strictly can be interpreted that way, but there are also clauses which can explicitly overrule that, e.g. “for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information” or “for archiving purposes in the public interest”, which might apply to forum discussions. Just stating what “Jon Doe” said publicly in a forum might be a typical case for both points. For a definitive answer, we would have to wait for a court ruling which specifically deals with that. Note that GDPR is about data processing and the (mis)use which can follow from that. It is not a tool for people to never being mentioned again on the internet. That’s not the goal since it would have tons of bad consequences as well.
-
Not sure what the question is. I see two articles. The only thing missing are the images. Do you have the “record image” field activated and uploaded images for those articles?
-
This is not supported and there are no plans to offer this. Cutting off the full HTML content can lead to all sorts of problems, especially in the more complex layout grids SuperBlocks includes.
