Smaller Blocks
If I wanted to make some blocks smaller what code would I need to put in developer app?
-
Hello Will Roberts !
Plz specify what parts of the block should be reduced? Or may you show it with a screenshot example?
-
Basically this is what I want. Instead of having to scroll down vertically to see every single block content I want to add to profile page before I get to the timeline/outline; I would like to add a horizontal space that the content can be seen by swiping left or right and the blocks are smaller and more compact. Most of these block spaces have way too much space.
-
that is an awesome idea. Yes cause scrolling through blocks and blocks can discourage someone using the app, because it can take so long to scroll to what they may wanna see.
-
Right now I can't really add anything more to profile pages. Just not enough space when these blocks could be reduced in sizes for alot of content
-
Let me know the result of this Will Roberts
-
Great idea Will Roberts . I'll follow this thread.
-
It may have to be custom made but it's something I believe should be added to the store so let's see what happens this week
-
You might talk to the guys with AQB Soft . They built 4 apps for me so far. If it's something they think will sell on the market place you just pay what everyone else pays. If you talk to them please ask them for me to build it so it can be added to any page.
-
-
You can email AQB Soft @ support@aqbsoft. That may be the fastest way to talk to them.
-
Will Roberts . I sent AQBSoft an email on your idea. We'll see what they say. You might do the same.
-
LeonidS said he forwarded it to the development team so looking good so far
-
Cool. We'll see what happens. Great idea.

How do you expect it to behave in case of page blocks of a different height?
Usually a content for swiping is having the same height. Page blocks obviously will not be having the same height, which means that upon swiping the blocks below that "horizontal swiping block" are going to move up and down which is not a good user experience. Or do you think it is ok? -
Alexander Kireev - AQBSoft got back to me and said "Nice idea. We will need to check the possibility of doing this first. Will try to find some time next week."
-
Maybe the height could be set by the largest entry or whatever is added to the blocks. Then as apps are added to the new app all blocks inside this app would be the same as the largest one added. I think the idea is to basically have links to smaller compact apps like moods, profile songs, upcoming birthdays, online friends etc.. Maybe with an icon. After clicking on the link (icon) it would open said link in a popup. What do you think Will Roberts ?
-
I don't think the horizontal blocks would give a bad user experience if a user is swiping to get to the timeline below it. Think of Facebook with how "Stories" is displayed by swiping horizontal. If for some reason you cannot make the blocks smaller then maybe some type of slider could help. Many apps have ways to fit more content in smaller spaces. I uploaded a picture of an example
-
I think the pop up is a great idea. Also saw a slider that allows you to have one block on the page but can scroll to different content. One example is where it says Super Supplier but there's alot more different sliders like that also.
-
Yes Will Roberts AQB Soft , I think a slider with apps to open inside a pop up would be best so you can add as many apps as you wish. On a mobile I believe you would be "very" limited as to how many apps you could add if this was anything other than a slider.
-
The "Stories" block should have all items of the same height in it - thus no problem swiping it. The problem is that we are talking about different blocks with different content.
In our case lets say the Mood block may be 100px heigh, the QR code 200px, and profile songs may be 600px height depending on the content inside a block. Swiping blocks of a different height will inevitably make the blocks positioned below jumping up and down.
The idea with just a "Quick Links" can be implemented though. I.e. the new block may contain just an icons/quick links to the blocks opening in a popup.
-
Add option for pictures and not just icons for quick links and that would be great also
-
I like where this is going.... :-)
-
AQB Soft a quick reference
-
Yes, as I already mentioned there is no problem in showing swipable content posts when the entires are all of the same height.
Our concern was that you want the blocks themselves to be swipable and the blocks always do have a variable height.
In case you're ok to have just a swipable block of quick links with blocks showing in a popup - this could work. -
Yes I'm ok with swipable blocks of quick links with blocks showing in a pop-up. Please add option to have admin add picture placeholder in block also
-
Hello AQB Soft . I wanted to ask how this might be coming along? Any possible completion date?
-
Sorry, have been very busy for the last couple of weeks. Will try to find some spare time for this in the nearest 1-2 weeks.

Hello John Curtis , Will Roberts
Better later than never, right? :)
The Popup Blocks module has been released: https://una.io/page/view-product?id=436
Your feedback is very welcome. -
Is the block size based on Icon size and can it be set smaller? So far looks really good I just would like the block size smaller

The block size is fixed.
You can override this by putting the following:<style> .aqb_popup_blocks_item_cont { width: 150px; } .aqb_popup_blocks_pic { width: 100px; height: 100px; } </style>at [studio -> designer -> injections]
-
Is there any way I can bring the icons closer to each other so that I can see 3 at a time?

If you have access to your filesystem (FTP or SSH) then you can edit the file
modules/aqb/popup_blocks/template/scrollable_block.html, replace
slidesToShow: 2
and
slidesToShow: 1
with
slidesToShow: 3 -
I am on UNA Cloud unfortunately

In this case we will need to provide a setting perhaps somewhere in a backend, to adjust icons size and number. Soooo, perhaps the end of this week or next week we will release and update.
-
Hopefully soon. Its a great much needed feature and with just the tweak of moving the icon spaces closer it would be perfect for me
-
How do I add this to a page? I don't see it in Pages > page name > Add Blocks.

Go to the module's page in studio. There you will find a "Create block" button.

Thank you for your feedback. We've released an update which adds some settings to the module, including icons size, number of icons to show and an ability to enable dark mode (which will make dots underneath icons to be white - visible on dark templates).
-
I am extremely satisfied with this. It is now exactly what I needed and the update was a great improvement!
