I'm trying to create a "Pinterest" style layout with Material Design Lite. The big issue is that so far, I'm only able to create it with the cards being the same height.
I have been able to do it with CSS and column count (without MDL), but I'd like to use the styling MDL provides. If I use column-count with MDL, it cause some weird layout. My cards vary in size, and it looks bad when they have huge gaps inside them because the gridlayout evens them out in height. I hope it makes sense. I can paste my Wordpress theme code if necessary, but I'm not sure if it's to any help.
I hope someone can help me out :-)
you can use this lightweight javascript http://masonry.desandro.com/ in order to do that. use it like this.
<div class="mdl-grid masonry-grid">
<div class="mdl-cell mdl-cell--4-col-desktop masonry-grid-item">
</div>
<div class="mdl-cell mdl-cell--4-col-desktop masonry-grid-item">
</div>
</div>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/masonry-layout#4/dist/masonry.pkgd.min.js"></script>
<script>
var elem = document.querySelector('.masonry-grid');
var msnry = new Masonry( elem, {
// options
itemSelector: '.masonry-grid-item'
});
</script>

I'm looking to create a reusable, modularized component in Umbraco 9. I've never worked with any Umbraco before. The example I'll use is a text widget/component that has an image on the left and text on the right, with the ability to set whether you want to swap this to be image right, text left.
I come from the Sitecore world where creating a component like this would mean creating a definition with the fields in the back office, creating an MVC controller and an action, and pointing that back office definition at the controller/action combo. Then, anywhere I've deemed a component hot spot, I can click an "add component" and it'd display the available components I've created (Text + Image Block, in our example).
Our team has been researching how to do something like this in Umbraco. We've been using element types. I've got it working where I can create a list of element types, but we couldn't figure out how to add a controller/action/view to this process to really control what gets displayed.
We've looked into the Grid Type Editor. That requires some Angular work that wasn't exactly playing nice, for some reason it was seeing our image fields as null even though they had an image.
We also tried messing with the Block List editor, and are currently investigating macros.
We've been spinning our wheels and I'm hoping to get some assistance on how to do something like this in Umbraco. Perhaps I'm searching/using the wrong terminology?
Most of our components are super simple, and rather than create a reusable component, we can just use the grid editor. In our example above, we could create a 50/50 grid row and put an image in the left column and the text in the right. This would work, but we'd like to have a little more of a reusable package. Furthermore, a few of the components will require some controller functionality to be able to hit an API and massage some data before passing it to the presentation layer.
We will keep investigating, but ultimately I'm hoping someone can clear up if we're going down the wrong path, or just missing some crucial point here.
Sure! Two ways come to mind for me. One would be make a simple doctype like the screenshot below and let layout decide how to stack them
This sample uses bootstrap which of course you don't have to use, and in my case I have them in a nested content element so I basically just loop through them and alternate putting flex-row-reverse on the row.
#{
var i = 0
foreach(var contentBlock in Model.ContentBlocks)
{
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center #(i %2 != 0 ? "flex-row-reverse" : null)">
<div class="block-left col-sm-7">
<h5>#contentBlock.SectionHeading</h5>
#Html.Raw(contentBlock.SectionDescription.ToString())
</div>
#if(contentBlock.HasValue("sectionImage") && contentBlock.SectionImage != null)
{
<div class="block1-right col-sm-5 ml-auto">
<figure class="hover">
<img id="#contentBlock.SectionImage.Name.Trim().Replace(" ", "-")" src="#contentBlock.SectionImage.Url">
</figure>
</div>
}
</div>
i++;
}
}
The other way (as you asked for) is to give the content editor the choice with a toggle, add a toggle to the doctype
and instead of this line
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center #(i %2 != 0 ? "flex-row-reverse" : null)">
you could use this line
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center #(contentBlock.SectionAlignment == true ? "flex-row-reverse":null)">
Or even something like this where you just assign your own class and write the CSS separately
<div class="d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center #(contentBlock.SectionAlignment == true ? "block-right":"block-left")">
Hope that helps get you going in the right direction. I'm sure you'll have to adapt this for your situation and this code is not tested.
Happy to help if you have any issues.
I have this html and want to select only the div with class 'image-container landscape'.
<div class="image-container landscape">
...
</div>
...
<div class="image-container portrait">
...
</div>
Using $(element).find('.image-container') selects either one of the div, that comes first. But I only want the one with 'landscape'. I tried using $(element).find('.image-container landscape') but it doesn't work, maybe because it assumes landscape is a tag. How do I do this?
Yes, it would assume landscape was a tag.
You want either:
[class="image-container landscape"]
or
.image-container.landscape
This is just CSS3 for the record, you can probably read the full specs in less than an hour.
I'm having problems with my fixed menu. As you can see of the example beneath it's not possible to click the links "Vingårde, Dyrkning..." because of the div box with the fixed menu on top of it. I've tried ordering the layers with z-index but I just can't get it to work. Can anybody help me out?

And if anyone by the way have a method on auto adjusting the height of the page so it covers the whole viewport I would be very glad to hear from you :-) In the website version above I've set the height manually to 1000px which is not preferable
Thank you!
You need to put all the wrappers' elements outside of it and put them after the left-page container and before the right-page container. Finally, remove the wrapper, it seems unnecessary for the page in order to work.
I fixed it through Chrome's dev tools, but I assume it should work if you modify the html that way.
The body should look like this:
<div id="left_page_container">...</div>
<div class="nav_humlunvim">...</div>
<div class="nav_butik">...</div>
<div class="nav_blog">...</div>
<div class="nav_kontakt">...</div>
<div id="right_page_container">...</div>
Hope it helps; as an extra observation it is more common to use "hyphen-separated-names" for selectors than to use "snake_case_names" :)
I created a script to publish the following html page using Html Service:
<html>
<div id="fixeddiv"></div>
<script>
var div=document.getElementById("fixeddiv");
div.style.position="fixed";
alert(div.style.position);
</script>
</html>
The alert window shows an empty string.
Isn't possible to set a fixed position for a div element?
I just ran into the same thing and the answer appears to be NO. Apparently they're worried fixed divs are a security exposure.
Next thing they'll be wanting to remove the keys from our keyboards too ;-)
I used this to get a 'fixed' effect for a global navbar at the top. It might be of use to you or others.
$(document).ready(function() {
$( window ).scroll(function() {
$( '.fixed' ).css('top', $( this ).scrollTop());
});
});
Note: in GAS the $( window ).scroll() wasn't working for me so I instead created a div block the size of the view port with a scroll bar overflow and used that instead.
I've found another 'solution' for this:
I created 2 divs, fixedHeader and content
<div id="fixedHeader"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
The css code, where we set #fixedHeader to be always on top and for #content we set a padding-top matching the height of #fixedHeader so the elements won't get under #fixedHeader:
#fixedHeader {position:absolute; top:0;}
#content {padding-top:50px; overflow:auto;}
And finally javascript to make #contet match the height of the viewport when document loads:
$(function(){ $("#content").css('height',window.innerHeight); }
Hope it helps
It appears that position:fixed is not allowed due to security concerns: http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/detail?id=1840
How do you create a layout where you have a fixed-width side-menu but the main content scales to the rest of screen?
Here is a sample of the markup:
<ul id="sideMenu">
<li>....</li>
</ul>
<div id="mainContent">
... everything else ...
</div>
Is this possible?
Also, it would be great if we could set a min-width on mainContent as well as this working all the browsers consistently ;)
Float the sideMenu and then set the margin of mainContent to match that. This keeps the mainContent from wrapping around the sideMenu.
#sideMenu{float:left;width:200px;}
#mainContent{margin-left:200px;}
it may be possible by placing ur content in a table with cellspacing and cellpadding set to 0. Set the width of the td also to 100%. All u have to do is trial and error method to see.
