I have a client who is using Squarespace and asked that I fix a mobile stacking issue.
I have 2 rows that have image + text alternating side by side. This looks fine on desktop, but the on mobile the stacking order is wrong.
Desktop Stacking:
Image + Text
Text + Image
Current Mobile Stacking:
Image
Text
Text
Image
Ideal Stacking:
Image
Text
Image
Text
Typically I was accomplish this by alternating the sections with a custom class, but I'm not seeing any place to add this. Are you able to add custom classes to sections?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
It is not possible to directly edit the markup that appears within Squarepace's default grid and block system (they call it, "LayoutEngine"). Generally speaking, one must either write their own HTML within a Code Block (or via Code Injection points), or use JavaScript to alter the HTML after the default markup is loaded onto the page.
But in your case specifically, this is a common problem in Squarespace, and it is usually solved with just CSS, using a combination of:
first-child, last-child and nth-child selectors, and/or
the > direct-descendant/child-combinator, and/or
specific block IDs (each sqs-block has a unique id attribute), and/or
a media query so that the rules only take affect after your mobile breakpoint is reached, and/or
either display:flex with the order property. or display:table-header with display:table-footer in order to force a different stacking order.
The specific CSS often varies greatly based on the specific circumstance, whether you're trying to reorder blocks, columns, or rows. The similar question linked to above provides a specific solution to the same problem you are trying to solve, but the code that solves it in your case may look quite different, though it will likely use a combination of the five things mentioned above.
Or, you can use JavaScript to target the blocks and add your own classes, then write the CSS with those classes. Even in that case, the general approach is the same.

I am working on a project that requires a slider control that corresponds to an image and or a multitude of div objects. The spacing of the slider is irregular (the steps could be [1,4,7,13,14,16...]). Also the steps will correspond to specific spots on an image and or to a specific div object. The perfect slider would be dynamic and re-size with the screen but that may be actually impossible.
The hard part is that I am unable to use JQueryUI, instead I am limited to using controls that work with AngularJS.
I have been looking for hours and cannot find anything that would be a good starting point. So my question is whether anyone has found a good slider control to use with AngularJS?
This one fits some of your criteria

I am experiencing some delay in rendering part as my page contains lots of components like (inputs and labels etc). I have placed them in panelgridlayout.
I also used audit method in jdev there also found lots of time is taken by rendering.
So, I want to know which component will be the best or suitable for this. I also implemented panelGroupLayout (with horizontal and vertical) and panelfromlayout but has same slow rendering problem.
Please help me on this.
You need to check how many layout managers you have inside of others. Too many layout managers inside one another can affect render speed.
PanelGroup Layout is for taking a "small" island of content and making its contents horiz, vertical - like buttons or fields or even groups of other islands of content - or add scroll bars if needed, like for a table.
PanelGrid layout is designed to layout a "larger" area and give the layout a grid and allow you to place items almost exactly where you want it.
Some layout managers are designed to layout "the whole page" - like PanelStretch, PanelSlider and PanelGrid, while others are for specialized tasks or group of content, like PanelGroup, FormLayout, Tab, Accordion.
So, depending on the layout, using PanelGrid may mean you do not need the others, and can simply free position all the item which may speed up rendering.
That said, there are many variables that affect rendering speed, and the complexity of the items on the ADF Faces page is not the first thing we look at - The ADF Model layer, how that is implemented and how the data source is tuned (or not) can be a bigger source of impact on rendering.
You did not specify version, that would help as well.
Before PanelGrid we tended to use PanelStretch or PanelSlider as the main window layouts that laid out the main sections of the page - and put the other ones - panel group and formlayout inside it. With the advent of PanelGrid, some of this practice is no longer needed.
This, this and this may help as well.
The app I'm writing involves buttons that have a slight noise filter texture, which can be any size. For a standard button I'd simply use resizableImageWithCapInsets: but due to the texture, this causes unusual artefacts to appear on the resulting button.
A solution I have in mind, is to use the Core Image monochrome filter combined with the random noise filter to add the noise texture to a plain image. In theory this works, and in practice this has been shown to work (One example here) but these are all in cases where the button size is known at the point of invoking the CI code.
What I'm looking to do, is use the appearance proxies, so across the app I can simply set the style of UIBarButtonItems for instance.
Is there a way I can apply these CI filters to the buttons through the appearance proxies or isn't this possible? Would something like a category on UIImage to add noise work? I'm not entirely sure at which point the appearance proxy would actually invoke that code.
Any help is appreciated
OK So I finally solved it but found out some stuff on the way.
It seems you can create a category on UIImage and use that in the appearance proxy. I created a category to add noise, and it seemed to partly work, but I couldn't get it looking how I wanted as it wasn't quite rendering properly, but in the process of coding this discovered another method
resizableImageWithCapInsets:resizingMode:
Because the texture I was dealing with was simply noise, it could be tiled, so rather than the image now being stretched, the centre of the image is instead tiled which gives me the appearance I needed :)
ExtJS has a very useful layout mechanism called flex. It works by summing all the things on a row or in a column. Then the space is parceled out using the flex value divided by the sum of all the flex values. This results in a layout like below:
The Red box is an hbox layout, the blocks E and F have the given flex values that sum up to 3, so E gets 1/3 the width of the screen, and F gets 2/3rds.
The Blue box is another hbox layout, where all 4 pieces (A-D) have the same flex so each one gets 25% of the space.
What isn't shown is the surrounding vbox layout where the blue box has a flex of 22 and the red box has a flex of 78.
Is there anything like this kind of layout in Angular? If there isn't, how would you put this together in Angular?
Additional information based on some of the answers below:
I want to be able to replace extjs with Angular. To do that I need some functionality that I have in extjs that I don't know exists in Angular. I've found ways to watch for screen size, change to adjust the overall display size, but I haven't seen a good example yet of a directive that essentially introspects its constituent directives for this flex value and sets their size based on a size change event of the container. Flex doesn't work from inside the divs, it works inside the container of the divs, because it has to go across all the divs in the container to divide the space correctly. I haven't seen an angular directive that does this yet.
I have no actual development experience with Angular yet (I've watched many of the videos from http://egghead.io, I've read documentation and tutorials, listened to this podcast: JSJ-Angular) and so I don't know if this is something that is easy to solve, or hard to solve, or if someone has already solved it. This flex layout is wickedly cool and easy to use, in fact for full page apps, I'm not sure there is an easier way to lay them out so that they stay full screen and are malleable to screen size changes. Grid systems are great for some things, but they don't address what the flex system addresses.
I'm trying to see if there is a way to leap from extjs to Angular without really making my life difficult.
Additional discovered information:
Looks like flex is becoming a display type now in the form of the CSS display: flex or display: inline-flex (with prefixes at the moment)

Interesting to see the illustration calls it the Holy Grail Layout example. Of course IE won't implement it right, or in a timely fashion, but my customers don't mind using Chrome if it gets the job done.
Turns out someone has create one and it does MOST of what I was looking for.

You missing the point. Angular is only JS library that helps you with:
modularization your code
allow you load content asynchronously
change content using "magic" (two-way bindings)
etc.
It doesn't describe style of your site. You have to do it by yourself or use one of popular fluid/responsive CSS frameworks, i.e.:
Bootstrap by Twitter
Zurb Foundation
Inuit.css
Pure
Gumby
Metro UI
etc.
Just choose yourself and then apply to your site. Using that also make your design independent from JS (which is very bad) and JS framework (which is 9th circle of hell).
I've just created my first WPF application (3 calculators inside 3 different tabs).
The entire application has been built using widths/margins/paddings as static values, since I originally didn't know that dynamic values can be used by just putting an asterix after the value.
The client has come back to me though and has asked me to increase the size of the app, that includes form fields, tabs, font-sizes, grids etc...
What would be the easiest (and/or quickest) way to do this? I'd hate to go value by value resizing every single element since there are quite a few.
I can provide code but there is lots of it and I'm not sure of how much help it would be.
Appreciate your help,
Marko
Put it all in one ViewBox, play with viewbox size to change the app size
Write an XSLT transform to take your XAML as input and spit out appropriate modified XAML, which you put back in your app.
