Core Joomla default features such as taking Bulk Actions, Sorting, Status, and Filter Options are now available on the SP Page Builder 4.0 dashboard.

Can we start developing a new website with this version and upgrade it later to the final version?
(not to use on a live website, but begin a development of a new website)
Thanks!
He meant, save the changes he made to the page within the sppb with ctrl+s instead of the need to click the save button.
.sppb-row-container
{
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
the problem is due to rule .sppb-row-container in canva.css that set padding: 10px 0 in editing mode
Thanks to all the great producers.
It would be really awesome if you add {loadposition module-id} for the Modal Popup.

JCE is installed by default. And it is also very necessary to make it in a large window, and not in a micro window.

Attempt to assign property "letter_spacing" on string.
When I hide the addon the page loads fine.
Since I work with this addon in the design of my page, SPPB 4 is totally unusable for me.
When will you finally test your products thoroughly befor they will be released. This is always such a hassle with you guys.
Please, don't tell me that, it's an RC version,. I know it. I don't like to hear these cheap excuses anymore.
I do have a couple of questions:
1.- Will be upgradable from current (3.8.x) to this version ?. Is too heavy to develop a site from scratch cause not only the webpage editor, other components are needed to be working so we would not like to start over, just migrate the content to this new version.
2.- Will it work with PHP8.x ? We did have problems with PHP8 and had to use PHP 7.4 instead with current production version and Joomla 4.x.x
Thanks
2. No, not yet compatible with PHP8.x.
Best Regards
I'm on the migration of Translate For SP Page Builder for this new version.
Is it possible to make some change like you have done for SP Page Builder 3
components/com_sppagebuilder/views/form/tmpl/edit.php
add line 13 PluginHelper use
use Joomla\CMS\Plugin\PluginHelper;
Line 90
$globalDefault = SpPgaeBuilderBase::getSettingsDefaultValue($global_attributes);
PluginHelper::importPlugin('system');//new line
foreach ($addons_list as &$addon) {
and line 145
if (method_exists($class_name, 'getTemplate')) {
$addon['js_template'] = true;
}
Factory::getApplication()->triggerEvent('onBeforeAddonConfigure', array($addon_name, &$addon));//new line
}
Best regards,

Based on how the support in the forum deals with old libs when they no longer work properly.

Rather than simply removing or disabling the library and switching to CSS, the lib is customized.
Of course, I can also be completely wrong. :)
Let's hope for the best and give the developers some time.
Maybe it is already on the TODO list.
There is no ETA for the release.

The JCE Core release leads to a completely broken SPPB when trying to edit a text field.
All JCE Core users must disable JCE Core or stay with SPPB 3.x until the issue is resolved.
Tested with J4, Cassiopeia, SPPB 4 RC2 and JCE Core
