Future Addon Ideas

[Tom]

Thanks for the ideas!

Sticky menu is coming soon, as well as option to add logo to navigation etc..

Hero area is handled by our Page Header add-on (hero would’ve been a way better name for it, damn).

Megamenus are pretty complex, there’s some great plugins out there currently that integrate well with GP.

There are plugins that do all of this quite well – I want to keep GP add-on focused on stuff that doesn’t really exist/isn’t compatible with GP.

Definitely! GP itself will stay lightweight and responsive. Plugins and add-ons will be where all of the fancy stuff comes in.

Thanks again for the ideas, can’t get enough of them! 🙂

Hi,
I’m missing something like portfolio. In our Company we need present our portfolios and certificates on the page. But all plugins are bad. We need this :-), because our partners want build their sites on GP(they buy their own license), and i must create solution for them.

https://ctrlv.cz/aa4q i create this part of our page with PageBuilder. Maybe it will be good addon for creating content section..

What do you think?

[Tom]

There’s not too many portfolio plugins out there, I agree.

I started building a plugin for it a while ago and never got all the way through – definitely on the list, even if I release it as a free plugin.

I would agree there. A gallery plugin would be great. I’d love to see something different though. A simple gallery for a free release perhaps, but then something a bit cooler, like a portfolio/gallery where users click on images and it loads up a full screen portfolio case study or something of that sorts…

Hmm I think I need to start creating these myself.

Tom would you consider external developers creating add on’s for sale?

If the code was clean and efficient, I don’t see why not 🙂

Hi,
your job is very well!
I have some suggestions for you:
1. Your addon section is very good. But now if i set background color and image together. There would be awesome using something like your generatepress home page (I mean your background image)
It is very easy now to add. you have div .generate-content-header and .generate-sections-container for my example

You style .container{background-color:#yourcolor; background-image: url(your.png);}

If you wrap this like

and style set up
.wrap{
background-color:#yourcolor;
}
.container{
background-image: url(your.png);
opacity: X;
}
And last step will be add parameter opacity to section
And good efect style will release 🙂
Easy using can make lovely webpages 🙂 And you dont need Editor program for images 🙂

And what do you think about customize setting border-radius. Because you can make rounded element and it is good 🙂

[Tom]

Glad you’re enjoying!

So you’re saying it would be cool to be able to add some opacity to the background image to show the background color behind it?

It’s hard adding opacity, because it also makes all of the content inside the div lose opacity as well. You’d be better off adding a bit of opacity to the background image (and saving as a PNG) – this will also show the background color through the background image.

And add-on for border radius and borders in general would definitely be pretty cool – it’s on the list 🙂

Would like to see different GP child themes
Like
A magazine style
A parallax style
A Spartan style (meaning bare bones plain)
A shop/store

Its like a starter kit

[Tom]

Child themes are definitely on the list 🙂

[Richard Bland]

Once I get some free time I will be looking into setting up some child themes for sure, with Tom’s approval of course.

[Tom]

Theme away! 🙂

Hi Tom,

I would like to have the option to place the menu in the header at the bottom. I have rounded colors at the top. The background of the rounded corners is currently white (inherited from the content container). I would like to have the blue background of the header. Or better for styling purpose a seperate container below the header with the menu inside. This container can then be styled differently.

Hope you can have this incorporated in the layout.

Thanks

Sorry for duplicate post, struggeld with the code

I managed to get it done, but I had to edit core.

I changed the following file

/inc/navigation.php

Around the nav item I added the following

<div class="grid-container">
<div class="grid-100 menu-grid">
<nav itemtype=”http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement” itemscope=”itemscope” id=”site-navigation” role=”navigation” <?php generate_navigation_class(); ?>>

Then I styled menu-grid as follows

.menu-grid {background-color: #001949;}

which gives me the desired effect I want.

But I don’t like editing core files.

[Tom]

Can you take a screenshot and show me what the above code accomplished? I should be able to figure out a way to do it without editing core files.
