Stack Elements

How to add tabs, accordions, sliders, .. from a stack

Stacks creates a set of blocks and displays them anywhere in the site. This is useful for updating content that is applied several times in the site. It is also a great opportunity for the designer to use these sets of blocks and display the creative way. The most classic modes are accordions, tabs. Supermint goes further by proposing new and practical ways to display these contents as a button that opens a popup.

Usage

To use the various stack display modes, you must first create a stack. For this go in the dashboard in the section blocks and Stacks. You will see a button at the top right allows you to create a new stack, click it, enter a name and save. You can now add blocks in the stack.

In most battery display custom models, you’ll need to set a name for each block. For this, once the block added to the stack, click on it and choose “Advanced”. In the window that opens you will be prompted to enter a name for the block.

Now you must approve that stack so that it is visible to everyone, this step is very important and will pose display problems if omitted.

Add a stack to a page

Once your stack is created, approved and block named (optional), go on a page, turn in block addition mode (the little cross in the upper left), click on “block” and choose “stacks”. Drag the stack that you just created on your page.

There are still two things to settle: the custom template and color class.

Adjust the custom template

Click your battery freshly added to the page and choose Custom Template. The popup menu will offer you lower the different model (accordion, button, ..). Choose the one that suits you.

Adjust the color class

Some customized models like accordions support multiple colors taken in the theme. For that click on your newly added to the page stack and choose Custom Template in the text field custom classes you can choose one of the following option: element-primary, element-secondary, element-tertiary, element-quaternary, element-black and element-white.
