Need responsive word wrap

[terryfoster60]

UPDATE: This control did NOT have any issues in the end. It is a GOOD control and once you understand how to use it then you wonder how you could manage without it. The following posts in this thread were down to me not understanding how to configure the tool and once this was understood it was easy to implement.

Terry

You have to implement the pictures and everything as floating instead of absoloute and set the position in properties to place items either right or left.
You cannot have right and left aligned pictures in the same wrap text box. You simply have to create another one below (or to the side if desired) with the alignment set in the properties.

I thank the designer of the tool for all their help and in creating a great tool.

Maybe this will be helpful?

Tried using that,
It created all sorts of problems including overlapping layoutgrids.
Does not work for me...
Thanks

[crispy68]

There is no issues with the extension that I'm aware of as I've used it myself. If there is, please provide a demo project where it is not working.

The demo for the extension uses layout grids and as you can see they do not overlap.

You can do with 'wrap text' object (floating mode)

First - thanks for the feedback

The link provided goes to an html output - not a template or a project so I cannot see how it was achieved.
I cannot get it to work as anything below the wrapbox immediately prints over the toip of it.

There is no way I can post a project or a screen print here to dmonstrate what I have unfortunately.

It looks like I shall have to program an external page and do it the old way as WYSIWYG cannot achieve this.

You cannot directly upload your project or a screenshot to the forum as it has been disabled for security reasons. But there is nothing to stop you uploading a copy of your project (.wbs) to your own site/server and provide a url to it for download before doing so please read the following.

The same applies for screenshots or you can use the likes of https://imgbb.com/ and provide the url given.

The link provided goes to an html output - not a template or a project so I cannot see how it was achieved.

The link provided was given to show you that you can wrap text and that it is possible. If you wish the template itself then you can download from the following.

It looks like I shall have to program an external page and do it the old way as WYSIWYG cannot achieve this.

If it wasn't possible with the links provided then how do you explain the first link displaying it ànd the url to template example also showing it?

[crispy68]

As I stated, the extension link I provided does work and the example demo shows that it does.

I have not had any reports from anyone that it doesn't work. If you have an example project (1 page without a bunch of other stuff on the page) that demonstrates that there is an issue, then I would be happy to look at it and make necessary changes to the extension if a problem is found (ie: overlapping layout grids).

You can download the template from the website.
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/templates/awesome.zip

[terryfoster60]

The example in Awesome is just what I need.
I cannot see a project file I can open to see how it was done.
however I have put my project file along with a simple graphic to use in an archive on:

https://ourartgallery.azurewebsites.net/problem.zip

which is an area on an old website I had - not active...

Two problems...
not responsive
and
Overlapping flow controls

[Pablo]

The link from my previous reply is a template, you can open it like any other template.
https://wysiwygwebbuilder.com/using_templates.html

In your project, you will need to set the 'position children' property to 'floating'.

[terryfoster60]

Ah! - opened the template - i'll have a good look at this and make notes
Thanks for the feedback.
Terry

[terryfoster60]

Success!
I was trying to have two pictures one right one left in the same wraptext box which I understand is not achievable.
I am happy with the result - thank you for all the help

Terry

[crispy68]

I'm glad you have it working.

I downloaded your file and used the extension I mentioned earlier (that you said doesnt work) and I was able to create it easily, quickly without any issues. Please see demo here.

I just want other users to know that my extension does work. It would be nice if you could provide me a demo demonstrating the problem so I can have a chance at trying to fix any issues versus simply saying it caused a bunch of problems and moving on.

[terryfoster60]

There are NO ISSUES with the control at all.
It was down to a programmer who did not know how to use it properly.
Once you understand that you can set the text to justify and than set the control so that any children (pictures) are right or left then it is plain sailing.
It is a good control which I shall be making more use of.
It is FULLY RESPONSIVE and very good.
Terry

[crispy68]

Thanks for the update Terry. I appreciate it.

[terryfoster60]

If I may post a suggestion for future versions of this control without appearing ungrateful.
The editor for the article is good but it does not seem to allow formatting of text in bits.
For example - I wanted to place a heading in bold Black underlined and then the rest of the text in pale yellow.
It may be depreciated code these days but I managed it back in the old days by having a class which could be applied to regions of text.
Would it be possible to create a version with a rich text editor....?
Just wondering. I would have sent you a PM but cannot see where I could do this.
Its still a great tool though.

@terryfoster60

To which are you referring about using the "text wrap" object within the software
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/wrap_text.html
or the following

IMAGE TEXT WRAP EXTENSION (FREE) ** UPDATE 9/4/21 **
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum ... p?p=468836

For suggestions and improvements for everything related to the Tools in the software you can post at the following url below for the mentioned user extension you can contact crispy68 at his web site

OH! I thought they were one and the same!
I'll look rightaway..........

[crispy68]

@terry,

It seems maybe you were confused. I initially provided a link to an extension I created awhile back and based on your comments thought you had tried it out and it wasn't working. It seems maybe you were commenting on the the WB built-in word wrap instead?

In regards to your request:

The editor for the article is good but it does not seem to allow formatting of text in bits.
For example - I wanted to place a heading in bold Black underlined and then the rest of the text in pale yellow.

I can't speak for the WB version but it is certainly something I could look into adding it to mine. I typically add the heading before the text wrap on its own line but I can look into adding something within the extension so it would wrap with the rest of the text.

Dear Crispy68 - yes yours is a more advanced version of the tool and I like it.
The only thing missing is the ability to have a border around the main object.
It's a minor criticism really given that it is a really brilliant control.

I've created a simple page project so you can see what i've done and would like to do.
Cheers

I'll take a look at it. Unfortunately, your link is not working.

Edit: changed fle to zip for download to work.

[crispy68]

got it. Will take a look at it as soon as i can.

[terryfoster60]

Please can I make another suggestion...
The background of the editor is white which makes it hard to edit text if that is also white.
Is it possible to have the option to change the background colour in the editor for the editor only please.
That would facilitate easier editing.
Thank you

[BaconFries]

@terryfoster Can you please post any and all suggestions at the url below, this is so that is in the correct section and will not get lost in all the other posts you may make. Thanks

Please note that the colour of the workspace (editor) is set to white (default) it also represents the colour of the web page background which can be set in the page properties to what ever you wish. So if your text is white then it is as simple as setting the background to black, red, green or to whatever colour you page will be so that the text is visible.

[terryfoster60]

Of course - I apologise... Thank you for the feedback.

I still stipulate to anyone who wants this control that it is a good control and worth having.
I am a software developer and it is through feedback and suggestions that the developer can enhance and evolve the tool.
I shall post in the correct area.

[terryfoster60]

Something not working here.
I had it working at one point but now the picture is not right aligning on the published page.
It looks OK in the designer

The project is at:
https://ourartgallery.azurewebsites.net ... roblem.zip


The issue is with the second picture down - it should show the picture in the cave on the top right.
I've checked the image property and its set to right but its still going left.
Am I missing something?
Is it because I have applied a border?

Cheers

[BaconFries]

@terryfoster60 can you please be more specific as it is really confusing to what you using to wrap the text? If it is the extension by crispy68 then please contact him directly via his personal web site as only he can give you the best answer.
If it the built in Text Wrap then you will need to provide a Demo of that and nothing else no extension. Note as a software developer you should already know this so the best possible answer is given.
