Is there a pricing wizard like my example that plays nice with GP?

I'm looking for some guidance, a client has asked for a pricing wizard very much like the one shown here. I know I'll most likely have to use some form of a plugin to achieve this, but I'd like to ask the GP devs if they know of any pricing wizards like the one in my example that will play nice with GP and not bloat out my client's site?
I'm extremely happy with the level of care GP takes to keep itself lightweight and I'd like to follow this trend so any examples or tools the devs know of would be super handy.
Thanks again.
Hi there,
Unfortunately I'm not aware of a plugin that offers this functionality.
We also don't test other plugins for performance so we can't comment on them either.
My recommendation would be to:
- Find a plugin that offers the specific option you are looking for.
- Run your site through a speed test before and after using the plugin.
Hope this helps :)
Hi Leo,
Thanks for the update, not a problem, I ended up custom building it in the end so it would play nice with the GP Blocks. Turned out great. 😄
Oh, there is one thing though, I have a GP grid (25% 75%), a container inside the 25% column set to 100vh. Sometimes the 75% side will have content larger than the 25% side. How can I make the 25% side either fixed or sticky so it follows the user on scroll?
That was tough to write hopefully you understand my explanation. lol. 😂
Hi there,
could i see the page with this layout ?
Hi David, sure thing, it's the following page located at https://www.dev.360drivertraining.co.uk/pricing/. More specifically you'll see the problem in step 6.
Hi Lewis,
Set the Gridblock vertical alignment toDefault instead of center, so the green part and the white part will keep the same length.
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/grid-overview/#vertical-alignment
Then set the Grid> container block of the green part to vertical alignment > default.
Let me know if this helps :)
Hi Ying, this seems to have done the trick, I'll let you know more once I've finished configuring this page.
One last thing. (I Promise.) Is there a way to add a new tag name in GP? I can see I can change a div to a section, aside etc. I'd like to turn a container into a form element. Is that possible?

I don't think so, why would you want to do that? Do you have input/submit area?
I need to spread a form out across all the panels I've made so I can't really rely on a form plugin. I'll have form elements on each panel, but they will all belong to one form. for example, input on panel one, radios panel two etc. You can see an example of what I'm trying to recreate linked in the initial question. 😄
Changing the container for these panels into a form element will also allow me to maintain the editing capability of GP and Gute, as if I hardcode a <form></form> element in it goes into block recovery.
No, containerblock doesn't have this function built-in, so it can not be switched to a <form> element.
Try to find a plugin is the way to go :)
Understood, I don't think a plugin at this point would be viable, I've already spent two full days building this custom approach, changing now would be a huge loss of time. I'll have to find a workaround in the meantime. Thanks for the support on this as always.
You are welcome :)
Hope you can find a good solution! What you've built is very interesting!
