Introduced Content Truncation in the Text Block Addon for Improved User Experience

Time to say goodbye to text overload and hello to a cleaner, user-friendly text area in your web layout! Our Text Block addon now enables you to truncate excess text, saving valuable space and increasing readability! With the new Content Truncation feature you can effortlessly trim down the surplus text and display only what's essential.

Newly Included Radius Option for Gallery Addon’s Items

Your favorite Gallery addon now comes with a new Radius option housed in the Options section. Whether you prefer a sleek, rounded appearance for your gallery items or a more angular look with blunt edges, the new Radius option lets you achieve it all in a snap!

Hi Alex Barendregt,
You can try again after clearing your browser and Joomla cache. If that doesn’t solve the problem, you can always reach our support team.

While all these new features are nice to have, Article Integration has STILL not improved at all and is far worse than it has been in SPP3 :-( Would be great to fix long known issues instead of adding new features all the time.

Hello,
I am very happy that sp page builder continues to be updated with new features. However, for non-designers, it is difficult to use a blank page to drag add-ons to create a complete page. Just like drawing on a piece of white paper, it is not easy to make it beautiful.
If more pre-made layouts from various industries can be provided for us to use, it will be easier to use sp page builder to quickly create pages, and it will also make sp page builder more valuable. Pre-made layouts are a great feature of sp page builder. We all like it. Creating pages is very fast and looks great.
In addition to creating pages, you can also learn many skills from pre-made layouts. It is recommended that you provide more useful pre-made layouts.
In addition, the recent pre-made layouts do not seem to be as good as before, and the range of available ones is also very limited. Therefore, the prefabricated patterns currently used are still more often selected from earlier works.
thank you

That's why you have predefined Sections and Page themes that you can import with two clicks. We are trying to add them regularly, but there are over 80 with 4-5 subpages in each of them.
