Introducing Post Settings Panel
Improvements are an important part of the successful and stable development of the Joomla website builder Gridbox. Today we have prepared for you a new update, which includes totally rocked changes for the Blog Post Editor, a new awesome Masonry Grid Layout and more. So, meet Gridbox 2.6.3!
Blog Post Options Panel
Not a few questions have been received after the release of the Brand New Blog Post Editor about how to upload intro image.
So, in the Gridbox 2.6.3 we want to propose you a new way of adding and editing blog post information. The intro image, title, link, tags, and etc. can be filled in the settings sidebar, which makes the blog post editor an easy to use and intuitive.
Masonry Layout
Masonry Grid Layout is a popular layout that allows you to place posts beautifully and dynamically in the optimal position on the blogging app page. We added Masonry to 3 already existing layouts.
Masonry grid layout is available for the category list, search results and blog plugins: recent posts and related Posts. You can customize the view and change the style of each element, starting from the image and to the button.
Start using masonry grid layout and make the presentation of your blog posts more creative and attractive.
Media Manager Root
In the Gridbox 2.6.3, you can specify the Root Folder for the Gridbox Media Manager.
You can set the root folder in the Gridbox settings. To do this, click the "Options" icon in the left sidebar of the Gridbox admin panel. Select "Options" and in the "Path to Images Folder" field set the name of the folder.
After that, click the "Save" button and voila the root folder for the media manager is changed.
Weather Plugin Improvements
As you know, in the previous update we have changed the data source for the Gridbox Weather plugin. And to make the Weather Plugin better, we made improvements.
Set location by geo coordinates or city ID. This improvement will make weather forecasts more correct.
The city ID or geo coordinates of the location you can find on the OpenWeatherMap website.
