Enable editor buttons in JCE
You can use the editor buttons whithin JCE when using Page Builder CK. For this you will need JCE PRO
Then in the JCE configuration you must enable the Joomla Editor - XTD button
in the profile that you are using :
Flyout effect
Since the version 1.4.0 of Mobile Menu CK you can use a flyout effect that you can use on all resolutions, including the desktop. The menu will behave like a vertical dropdown menu and it will automatically switch to the accodion mode when the screen becomes too small.
Create a gallery with pagination
You can create a gallery and show only a limited number of images at once and add a pagination + navigation system to navigate through all the images. This is possible with Mediabox CK.
Image rollover
You can add some interaction into your menu using a rollover effect : put your mouse over an item and the preview image in the column will change according to the menu item settings. This is a cool feature that you can easily do using Maximenu CK.
SVG icons
If you want to use icons in your page, you can choose 2 ways to do it :
- Loading an icons font with CSS (for example Fontawesome as a font) and use CSS classes to show the icons
- Loading the SVG code of the icon in the HTML page
So what to do ? What is the best ?
Case 1 : If you are already using an icons font like Fontawesome in your website of other purposes, then you can continue to use it. There will be no additional load.
Case 2 : If you are not yet using an icons font then you shall prefer to use the SVG icons.
How to activate lazy loading for the images
The lazy loading is now a native feature in the browsers that allow your images to load only when it is needed. Imagine that you have a page with 20 images, but only 4 of them are visible on page load. With the lazy loading enabled, the browser will only load the 4 images and then reduce the page load a lot ! The other images will be loaded when requested on scroll, as soon as they come in the visible area.
Load your slides from Flexicontent
One of the most interesting thing in Flexicontent is the ability to create the custom fields and setup your content as you want. Now you can use Slideshow CK to show the slides based on the images loaded into Flexicontent, using a custom field (image type). Just select the type to load in the slideshow, the item type, the category, and get a beautiful slideshow automatically based on your content.
Link on row or column
You can create some content into a column using multiple addons (text, image, etc ... ) and then want to have a link that apply to the whole content area. This is possible using Page Builder CK. This option is available on a row or on a column.
