Helix Ultimate And SP Pagebuilder With Shortcodes And Joomla Modules!
Nick Baron
I'm getting extremely frustrated that I can't easily build dynamic Article thumbnail scrollers sliders with SP pagebuilder and when resorting to trying to use other modules eg minitek wall or ignite gallery I face another round of issues. after adding a module the next full width section afterwards reverts to only filling part of the width - why is this? Often the pages look fine when previewing in editor then when viewing site the sections are out of wack again - if I hide the modules the sections go back to full width see: https://dev.integratedbiotecture.com/about-us
I am alo wanting to create project showcase pages from article content with multiple galleries from ignite gallery so that the projects are easy to manage for the client see: https://dev.integratedbiotecture.com/projects/projects-simple-portfolio
Igallery has a content plugin and button that easily allow the client to add galleries to Joomla articles however when trying to customise the Standard Helix article view by creating a dynamic page with SP Builder the shortcodes don't work in the dynamic text field eg the result just diplays the shortcode text. I'd really love to be able to create a custom template for these pages using dynamic content - if shortcodes weren't stripped out of article text.
Maybe I'm a bit spoilt having worked with Breakdance builder and Elementor with Wordpress where all blocks have ability to choose dynamic text as well as input manually - eg easily build a slider using feature image | Title | Content | Read More link etc. If you could do this with your addons we might be able to build much more dynamic sites that are easy for clients to maintain without having to use other components etc to display content. At the moment I'm not sure how to proceed as none of the options I've tried so far seem to work and i know the client won't want to pay for all the time involved - at this stage I'm contemplating switching to Wordpress.

Accepted AnswerHi Toufiq - I have adjusted now the About us page and homepage - I actually wanted the grey panel area to stretch and I think I found why it was not working properly - I had to allow full width in blog settings for Helix!! Homepage Services section is fixed also. I also need to create a custom template for Projects https://dev.integratedbiotecture.com/projects/projects-simple-portfolio However yes I do want the galleries added in Joomla article manager to be displayed when the shortcode is added The Client adds galleries using ignite gallery component which they add to project pages. I want to be able to create a custom dynamic page template for thesepages without having them need to edit individual pages in SP Builder.
I also don't seem to be able to fload the top bar email contact right - theres doesn't seem to be anywhere where you can specify horizontal alignment on these elements?

Accepted AnswerYou need to contact your ignite gallery extension provider about the shortcode issue.

Accepted AnswerAlso still have the issue on the homepage under projects - cheero house is a gallery content item - shows 3 images then blank white screens - there are only 3 images in the blog gallery - some projects may only have one or two images so its important that this is flexible. https://dev.integratedbiotecture.com/
