Content/Page Features

Maybe I'm missing something but is there a place to add classes or id's to blocks and pages etc?

I would like to control the CSS a bit better of sections of the pages, but really I'm not finding any way accept using general classes etc, but those might cross pages etc.

I would like the ability to add more control over the styling of blocks and pages.

      • Another question I have is how can I change the layout of the Edit Profile page? Where is the template for this? I know I can change the form, but honestly the way that the layout is for this page could be changed like columns etc

        Also why is there no file uploader for links and images in the editors? at least there should be a way to access those from the storage module.

        • Pages and blocks have uniq ID

          Page has the follwoing ID - bx-page-{Page URI here}, for example for this page: bx-page-view-discussion

          Page block has the following ID - bx-page-block-{Block ID here}, for example for info block on this page: bx-page-block-1678

          So you can use this IDs to make custom CSS for some particular pages and blocks.

            Go to your site Studio > Pages > Persons > Select page: Edit profile > Settings > Layout

              Please describe it in more details, it isn't quite clear what you mean.

              • would be nice if we could name them more specific.. with easier names for us to follow.. bx-page-block-1678 isn't very good when it comes to making styles etc.. need to be able to name them

                • when you are in the frontend and you are editing your profile. The form is what I want to be able to re-arrange. The layout is kinda bad, I mean this is 2019 and we are using straight vertical forms? Gender is too wide and birthday is short so why not put them on the same line?

                  • Could be to make it responsive to mobile devices. Not sure thought.

                    • Be careful changing signing up and edit profile pages, etc... they talk to each other and if not done properly code mess up your site and create a few headaches fixing them... make sure you backup your site before messing around in there.

                        Forms are designed using mobile first approach, so first we tested on mobiles. Then we can change something for desktops. 

                        Another reason is that forms are buildable via Forms Builder and we can't make custom positioning of elements since it could be changed at any time, so more simple layout is used which will not break form when form is changed via Forms Builder.
