No more hassle of constantly toggling back and forth between panels to check your layout and related settings. Drag and place your Layers panel anywhere in the frontend editor and uplift your experience like never before!

Effortlessly Add Bulk Items With the Gallery Addon

SP Page Builder v5.3.1

The Gallery addon has been updated to include a convenient feature allowing you to add multiple images simultaneously using the “+ Add Bulk Items” option. This streamlines the process of adding multiple items at a time, sparing you the hassle of adding images individually and making gallery creation quicker and more seamless. And this option is accessible in both the frontend and backend editors.

Introduced Predefined Layouts for Article Addon

SP Page Builder v5.3.1

Struggling to decide on the layout of your blog page? Well, not anymore! This update brings you some awesome predefined layouts for the Articles addon that will simplify the way you arrange your article lists. Now focus more on creating compelling content and less on intricate layout decisions.

Other Notable Enhancements & Fixes

Apart from the new additions, this update also comes with significant enhancements and fixes that you might have been looking for. Let’s take a look at the significant ones:

Added Ending Date option for Timeline Addon: The Timeline addon previously only came with the starting date option for the timeline items. After this update, you can also add the Ending dates for each timeline item.

Fixed the <p> tag issue in the Rich Text Editor: Previously, while creating lists in the Rich Text Editor, the listed texts would remain within the <p> tag, causing layout distortion. This issue has now been resolved and your list items will properly remain within the <li> tag, preventing any more distortions.

Resolved ACL-related issues: We've consistently addressed the Access Control Unit issue, and in this latest update, we've tackled several known ACL-related issues. These efforts aim to ensure you maintain a secure and controlled environment for building your pages.

Please go through the changelog to know more about other fixes and enhancements that come packed with this version.

The bulk gallery upload is great, just tested and it's very quick and easy. The title is automatically applied using the filename prefix, I just wish we had the option to display the title or title caption. At the moment I have to use another gallery component to acheive this ... but a great step forward for the SP Pagemaker gallery!

Thanks, in the next updates we can consider another improvement for that Gallery addon. That one was the most asked.

Can I just say that you guys are amazing. Very well done.

However,... it's all becoming a little bit too complex.

I have been a joomla and joomshaper web developer from the early days. And as the platform has become better and more 'interesting', I do think that in the last couple of years the 'hi-tech' developers have taken over.

I'm containtly having to add updates that are totally different to use. This takes time for me to retrain with the new interfaces.

So, please can we stop making life with joomshaper more complex every time there is an ungrade.

Thank you.

(I do mean this in a totally positive way. Had you heard the phrase 'KISS'?)

I very like the new predefined layouts for the Articles Addon. I will try them in my Blog.
Also that the Settings Panel and Layers Panel can now remain simultaneously open in the frontend editor is veeery useful. Thx for that!

The "+ Add Bulk Items" option to include multiple items in the Gallery Addon is not working properly see https://www.joomshaper.com/forum/question/32791
