Ongoing Lack Of Plugin Support - Question | JoomShaper

Ongoing Lack Of Plugin Support

CE

Chris Elliott

SP Page Builder 2 years ago

For many months now I, along with a number of other users, have complained about the lack of plug-in support within the SPPB component. The simple addition of the "content.prepare" function has been mentioned many times and Joomshaper have responded with "this is in our development plan", or "we hope to see this in version 4.0" but nothing has happened.

Your team regularly instruct us to use a custom module with " Prepare Content" and this was a functional workaround but this simply doesn't work any more!

Having upgraded to Joomla! 3.10.1, and to in the Helix Framework 2.0.4 over the weekend shows that if I have a known module within a Modiule Addon on a page, it will show the add-on title, and, if switched on, it will show the module title, so clearly it knows that the module exists. Howevere, it doesn't matter what I put in the module, (from simple text or more advanced content), absolutely nothing is displayed from the body of the custom module!!!

I will give you login details below in the hidden content section so that you can visit my draft website and I will provide instructions as to the current state of affairs.

About two years ago, I moved away from QUIX for a number of reasons but, the way that you guys are supporting us on this very simple yet extremely important topic is making me wonder if I made the right decision.

So, ultimately as of last week, custom modules worked, now they don't!

This is most urgent. Please help us to get this sorted quickly?

Chris

What exactly do you want put in your module

Try to check this issue. But, administrator login access does not work.

The lack of content prepare gave me fits this last weekend - I wound up recreating an SPPB construction out of core content, modules, loadposition, and a few hundred lines of css. A couple days spent purely because there is no prepare content so javascript-related items nested in the module would fire.

I've kitted up my own solution which is working ok so a solution is not needed now, but honoring modules that have 'prepare content' enabled would be a very desirable capability to make Joomla's best page builder even better. I was able to borrow quite a bit of css from the pagebuilder theme I liked.

hi Toufiq.

When you say 'Module is displayed fine', is this on your demo site? I'm guessing so?

(this is just to expand on the issue that made me find another way)

My module appeared fine. But none of the triggers contained in the module would fire when clicked - they weren't even links, just static type and shortcode rendered as text. My expectation is that a module with 'prepare content' checked should work, though this is a case where at present SPPB inhibits core functionality.

Mainly you want to put a shortcode inside the custom module. This is the principle of your post. But, at this moment I can't ensure you the shortcode will be supported with the current page builder. But, I can forward your feature request for Page Builder 4. Besides, I will contact our developer team tomorrow about your issue. In the meantime, I need your help. Create a screencast video a to z. I mean full scenario. I hope this video will help us to solve the issue. Thanks

Thanks Toufiq. It is a custom module - and I fully appreciate the technical challenges of making a full featured world class page builder. I'll create a documentary screencast for you tomorrow as it's end of day here.

Hi @blue_Shift . If I can intervene. Standard Joomla Shortcode for me never worked at Page Builder. Try Module Anywhere instead. Besides, @Paul Frankowski, not so long ago, created Custom Shortcod Addon (It works with Module Anywhere). I think if you ask, you will be given it.

Or you can independently create an add-on based on an existing, replacing only one line code in site.php (Raw Html Addon)
