Inline Text Editor
Today we have a new blog post, and we want to talk about the new version of Joomla website builder Gridbox.
Many of you have noticed that we aren't striving for the amounts of options and plugins. The quality and convenience of the work are more important for us. That isn't to say that we're not planning to add something new. We strive to ensure that every detail of the Gridbox Page Builder was perfect.
Probably, you think what is new can be in the Text plugin?! So as to bring to perfection, we have to move on. You add a text plugin in the column, click the edit icon, and the modal window opens, in the dialog box, you edit your text.
Such a manner of editing the content of the website can't give you the possibility to see the actual text, because the modal window overlaps the page. With an upgraded Text plugin, you can edit your content in real-time, without a modal window, it's unbelievably cool.
And of course, we left the classic editor of Gridbox - CKEditor, which provides a great number of possibilities and making an edition of content more flexible.
In order to open a modal window with all the possibilities of CKEditor, you have just click on the Edit icon.
Image Replacing
Imagine the situation when you have downloaded the slides in a slideshow, added titles, descriptions, icons and the immense desire to change some slides are coming to you, the certain problem will turn on the way. You can change the picture without deleting the slide, then you have to fill it in all over again.
We have added a possibility to change the images of Slideshow and Image plugins to make a work with Gridbox most comfortable.
The option will be very helpful for customers of Gridbox PRO, who have access to the Gridbox themes. Now you can change the defaulted pictures very easily.
Folder Trashed
Even the most attentive person can't be insured by such things as deleting the page. It always happens in very unexpected moment. Such unpleasant thing to lose all the results of the work done.
We have added the folder trashed to give you the possibility to restore the deleted pages. A similar folder exists in almost all of the standard Joomla components.
Now, in case of accidental deletion of the page, you haven't break your keyboard, you have just passed to the folder trashed and restore your deleted page.
In case of deleting, absolutely all the pages are getting the folder trashed, don't forget to clean it up. Purity and order should be everywhere, your admin panel is no exception.
Conclusion
We're sure that you will get keen pleasure in working with an updated Text plugin. Don't forget to write us your propositions in the comments, we appreciate your attention and support! Let's create together.
