Why No Border Sides In SP Page Builder Addon

This is wierd. When I tried to a define border for a column or an addon such as image, i can define the border width but not the sides where I want the border. This is contradictory to CSS definitions. See screencap.

Please explain

@MR Without getting into a discussion, today I asked the developer to consider adding additional options for border in Text addon or/and Columns.

Hi Murugappan.

Indeed for Columns, there is only border for all sides, you cannot disable left or bottom, you can do that using Custom CSS only.

So if you need only right border - you have to disable left, bottom, left border.

Use Code Inspector from your browser to preview column class name >> https://www.joomshaper.com/blog/which-line-of-css-i-have-to-edit-code-inspector-in-action

OR

Use tip from 2nd post below.


Yes, I will ask our developers to add that feature in the future updates.

Alternative idea, without using border settings:

  1. In Column Settings > Style (tab) > CSS Class and add: right-border
  2. In Template Options > Custom Code > Custom CSS add:

.right-border {border-right: 2px solid black; }

and you will get right border with black vertical line. And you can use that class everywhere.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the help. I would like place on record that SPPB is so very outdated when compared to WordPress. I cannot be adding css code for every weakness in SPPB.

Now i understand many of my group members are suggesting to move to WordPress. WordPress which seems to be is so flexible and has all the css in the elements. Even the addons are super and each addon library has all that we need.

VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SPPB!

Until you still have choice, you can use what you need or your client wants, or build your own custom solution.

Have nice day :]

Paul,

Here, I am giving you a feedback and the choice is (1) Joomshaper can live in a state of denial, or (2) They review their competitors and ensure they deliver the same of better.

I know you do not have the capacity to tell you developers and i understand. Its the owner of Joomshaper who needs to wake up from hibernation. I am long time fan of Joomla for its stability, security, standards and control. These are the only reasons we are sticking with Joomla. I am also a long time fan of SPPB (the templates are yukieee) but the newer versions are disappointing. I will be listing dysfunctional settings too as i develop our corporate site.

Hello Everyone,

If anyone is interested in doing this for me what worked is the following.

For instance I just selected the Text Block AddOn then selected the Style Tab. In the Custom CSS section at the bottom I added the following and it works. I did not need a CSS Class to make this work either.

.sppb-addon-text-block .sppb-addon-content {
  border-left: 3px solid #12284C !important;
  padding-left: 15px;
}

In the future if Joomshaper wishes to add a feature under Style for each AddOn that allowed someone to do this with a UI it could be done. But for now this works.

I believe Quix has this ability however the support from Quix hasn't been great which is why I switched to SP Page Builder Pro. No tool is perfect however the support from Joomshaper has been the best so far with my Joomla projects.

Enjoy!

Your CSS works, but for all text addons, that is not always wanted by users. It's better to use class name with predefined style. But I agree that settings it will be easier.


Option 2 - is by using a Divider addon, that can use vertical line (Vertical Mode: On). And you can use it between addons with Row and Columns.


Thanks, we do our best.

This is something i can only partly agree with Paul. There is flaw in the SPPB addons. Why would need to a create a class? Yes, you define the code in the style section , the addon should able to apply all the classes in code section without needing to enter the class name again after hacking in the developer mode. See screencap for more clarity:
