Future Addon Ideas

[Tom]

Would something like this work?

.main-navigation {
      border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
      -moz-border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
      -webkit-border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
      padding-left: 10px;
      padding-right: 10px;
}

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the quick response

I Tried that as well, quickly added it again to the site and it gives the following

I tried several css tricks, but none worked, then I started to dig into the code, and the solution I found was a seperate container for the menu.

Any chance I can get a link to the site while it looks like that? I should be able to come up with some CSS then 🙂

[Mouring Kolhoff]

Unfortunately not as I tend to develop locally.

But the site is currently just basic generate press, with some changes to color and spacing and only the changes I showed in an earlier post. (modified navigation.php and added css) so it should be easy to replicate, or your proposed css without modified files. otherwise it is almost a vanilla setup.

[Tom]

Hmm okay, well there is a way to edit the HTML of the navigation without touching core files.

Here’s the function: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/f65787230423f2ec770f

Add that to your child theme, and make your edits.

Adding PHP: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-php-functions/

That should do it 🙂

Thanks Tom,

That will work for me. customer will be happy now. 😉

[Tom]

Perfect 🙂

Tom, how do I stop receiving notifications from this thread? Cheers

[Tom]

Wish bbPress had a better option. When replying to this topic, uncheck the checkbox that asks you if you want notifications.

Hi Tom,
I have maybe good idea.
What do you think about this library
Animate.css
Look at this.
Its good idea to add to GP css in default, because there are enough animation styles controllable using by classes. You could test it, but for more flexible theme in my opinion its good idea.
What do you think? 🙂

Hi Adam,

Definitely a cool library, but in an effort to keep GP lightweight and simple we keep away from including libraries like this by default.

However, you can totally include it using a child theme.

Alternatively, it looks like this plugin includes it for you: https://wordpress.org/plugins/animate-it/

Thanks! 🙂

Hi Tom…

Definitely love the landing page idea, but maybe even take it further to be able to create nice sales pages. I would especially like a robust drag-n-drop table creation module that could be integrated. This way, whether I’m creating a landing page or sales page I can quickly do things like having side-by-side elements – text beside video, image beside video, image beside image, etc. I’d also like to be able to do things like created multi-package comparison tables (eg. bronze vs silver vs gold). If you check out a product such as wpprofitbuilder.com that might provide some visual ideas as well.

Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael,

Would definitely be pretty cool. Page builders in my experience are pretty bulky (not exactly lightweight). Would be cool to build a super slimmed down version 🙂

[MICHAEL HOLLAND]

Hi Tom…yeah, a slimmed down version would be fine. One of the great features in Generate Press is Sections. But I’ve found is that when working with table plugins and code, it’s tough to keep content in multi columns and rows aligned and stable.

As an example, I’m using simple div coding or a TablePress plugin in multiple areas of my site. In the case where I’m using div coding, I’ve put a contact form beside a video. I’ve gotten it to work, but any time I edit the page, the div coding gets mangled and I have to reset it again, or else the form won’t display.

And where I’ve used the TablePress plugin to create a table to accommodate multiple columns and rows, they aren’t quite even. You have to play around to get things looking decent.

So that’s why it would be a lot easier if there was a complementary drag n drop module that could handle things like this without worry.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

[Tom]

Usually, if you’re using valid HTML and not leaving any empty tags, your coding won’t get mangled in the editor.

As for using TablePress – you should only be using HTML tables for tabular data.

If you want columns, you can try a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/lightweight-grid-columns/
