T4 Page Builder unreliable and very difficult to use..

Hiya - "For the H3 tags, " the latest version seems to have fixed this - thanks 🙂

Dropping links is sooo close to working, you can drag the link, and drop it where you want, but it places teh link outside what was selected, when it should simply just wrap what was selected.

So you want to add link for image or text? For the image, you can add a link box element as I mentioned above, then put the Image element inside that link box.

In case that you want to add link for text in a block, you can select that text, then link it via the popup toolbar: https://prnt.sc/tvfcy9

I actually want to put a link around a lot of elements in a grid item (image, text and description).

I have tried to add a link, and then the elements inide and its a terrible user experience - very fiddly and cant get things to wrap or line up properly.

Cheers,
Pete

HI - My site was going live today but I cant get the links to work. Here is my video of me trying to edit and then add a link on 1 of 20 images.

Also noticed some drag 'n drop items don't work very well. Specially with images in a container. For the rest I like the builder. The team can now improve and add more/new features along the way.

Links bascially cannot be used in the builder.. as per my video.. the url etc doesnt get used.. and at some point in the editing process, the links end A tag gets moved up to the open A tag..

This builder is great when it works, but there is a lot that is not working, and I dont understand how it is not still in Beta, and is currently marketed as the best builder.

2 hours putting all those 20 logos and links and names into the element only to find the links dont render with any of the details I have put in have me wondering what to do. I had to build a 'logos' component and module to do this instead.

I will keep trying this builder, and feeding back - I want it to be successful as I love T4 template, but until the basics are correct it is not commercially viable.

I just shared this with our developer for further checking. Could you share the credentials of your site so I can take a closer look?

Just a question, Does the LINK tag work differently on your own test sites, than in my carefully created video ?

It has the same issues on over 3 of my dev websites - all using the latest T4 Template..

xmanflash We need a closer look and see if we can help you out directly from your site.

Unfortunately I cannot let you login as the site is going live in the next couple of days.

Thats why I sent you a video showing a bug.

Perhaps you can send me a video showing it working properly ?

xmanflash I've shared with T4 developer for further checking, I asked for the site info as it'll be easier to replicate issue and can fix directly for you.

If you don't want to share info, you can use akeeba backup extensions >> take a backup and share me the backup file via our email: sales@joomlart.com so we can check for you.
