Update: SP Page Builder 2.4.2 brings new Flip Box addon, better K2 scheduling and more

It’s a great pleasure for us to present you something new every time we update a piece of the software we’ve built. Our research and development division along with the rest of us in the team are in an infinite journey of improving the experience of the developers and end users, all of whom are connected via the world wide web. Keeping this in mind, today we’re releasing SP Page Builder v2.4.2, an update to the best page composer tool for Joomla websites.

And, as always, this release also brings some great benefits that will definitely enhance your web development workflow. Let’s see the new goodies in your favorite Joomla page builder. 

Flip Box Addon

Ever wanted to offer an animated box which would flip on hover? That dream comes true with the new Page Builder update. SP Page Builder gets the Flip Box addon that lets you place interactive box shaped elements on web pages. These boxes animate with several flipping effects on mouse hover. It’s a really cool feature for those who want some modern and lively contents on their websites.

Here you get 4 flip styles with 4 flip directions. The styles are 3D, Slide, Rotate and Fade. All except the Fade style have 4 directions- up, bottom, left, right.

3D Flip Style

This style enables you to place a page element with 3D flip effects from four directions (up, bottom, left and right). You can define them from the addon settings, and get the result in the output on hovering the mouse.

Slide Flip Style

A sliding effect can add a great aesthetic on some specific elements on your web page. It’s very smooth and supports multi-directional sliding effects. Like the other styles, you can add two layers of information on the sliding element.

Rotate Flip Style

Using the Rotate style, you can literally make your content move round your mouse cursor. It feels like a light nifty card rotating by gentle air. You can add different information on the both sides of the card.

Fade Flip Style

Okay, if you don’t want a hefty animation effect like the above ones, you can get the soft fade style. It inherits the two-layer content frame structure for your convenience, but the presentation style has a smooth fade transition effect.

Other Improvements in Page Builder 2.4.2

The SP Page Builder version 2.4.2 comes with the following enhancements.

  • K2 post scheduling issue fixed.
  • TinyMCE frontend editor dropdown menu issue fixed.
  • Carousel blank content warning issue fixed.
  • Tweet addon module error issue fixed.
  • Frontend editing row background image issue fixed.

Please note, all of the above updates are applicable to the SP Page Builder Pro. The free version will get some good stuff in the upcoming days. We strongly believe you will enjoy the new Joomla Page Builder. Please share your feedback with us via comments.

This is a great addition to Add-ons... But your demo and the update add-on differs. I do not see any way to alter text size/style or add icons as per your example? is this carried out using CSS if so then it means that the majority of the people using SP Page builder Pro will not know how to achieve the same result as your demo. After all that is the target market beginners. It would also be nice to have a URL link to be added to each one if the click option is not used..

Ignore my last comment I checked out your excellent demo page so I could login and see what you did to make the changes, now I know that the text boxes can be used like iframes. It would be great if you had a list if all the icon file names.

Love the extension!! Also I love the fact that we can go into the demo and see how it's set up, helped me a lot!

Hello thank you very much for the newest update, it's always a pleasure to see how passionate you're about the best page builder ever. :)

My question is that after updating joomla article Info (Category,Writer etc.) got Uppercase and H1 i believe and also the info part is above the article title which i can't change from article options. I'd be glad if you help me out.

Few weeks ago, I got your e-mail about new release SP Page Builder 2.4.1. Now it is 2.4.2.

Great to hear about the new features, but I liked to know about the old options as I used in release 1.

I used to work with:

Accordion option (Vertically stacked and tabbed content)
Styling option: fade in, animate in.
In fact, all old elements from release 1.*
I tried SP 2.0* before, but I was disappointed:

In version 2.01, I was disappointed in adding images (no percentage scaling, no option for borders). Is this solved?
In version 2.01, I was disappointed in adding hyperlinks: no option to open in ‘new window’. Is this solved?
In version 2.01, I was disappointed in choosing fonts: Font types are not listed alphabetical and no example of the font shown. How do I know what I select? Is this solved?
In version 2.01, I was disappointed in setting default fonts: No option to set default font type. No an ugly font overrules the template-font. Is this solved?
In version 2.01, I was disappointed in adjusting the setting. Clicking in a field suddenly changes the settings. At the same time the element I worked on disappears from my window tot below. Is this solved?
I am not familiar with custom CSS of Custom JS; I liked to work with drag and drop. WYSIWYG. Is this solved?
Pages I build before in SP Page Builder 1.* are not editable in PB 2. Is this solved?
I think SP Page Builder 2.4.1 could be a good tool, but first the basic settings has to work, then I like to upgrade. Could you recommend me when this will be a good option to upgrade? Thank you!

Please add a true text front editor. It's unnecessary to edit some text from popup window. Look at balbooa gridbox or ja builder how easy and simple edit a text on front edtior.
