New Text-Editor could be a reason to stop using x(pro)

[Apollo4Life]

Hi folks,

i´m a huge fan of x. But the last time i discovered some bad things using x that really matter to me. I´m really thinking about changing back to an other theme for my customers and my master installation.

1. The problem with envira gallery which is solved now has no impact for me cause i can´t update as far as i use wpml. Cause i can´t get wpml to run even not whith the help of the wpml support team. And i can´t waste several days on searching for a solution. So at least i switched to an other theme for my actuall job. It´s a pitty!
2. No highlighting of the active navigation link when i use the custom header builder.
3. And the last point is the biggest issue for me: the new text editor integration in cornerstone! The tiny editor is a mess! I need to edit text like an adult, not like a teeny on a cellphone. I need space for formating. It´s an unbelievable pain in the ass to work with an tiny input field/area like the new one when you have to edit a huge amount of text with different elements. Pls forgive me my crtitics if i´m to stupid to see how to expand the text area in cornerstone. If there should no other possibilty then editing and formating in a tiny text area as the one i actuall have, i definitly need to switch to an other theme.

Cheers Alex

Hi Alex,

1- Can you clarify the issue, many issues regarding WPML were resolved, but there are still some our developers are investigating.

2- Active status of the current menu is not yet added as of the moment but it is on our roadmap. If the particle is added as interaction on the header builder, adding the active class using the following code will display the underline on the current page also:

setInterval ( function(){ 

jQuery('.current-menu-item > a').addClass('x-active');
jQuery('.current-menu-item > a .x-particle').addClass('x-active');
jQuery('.current-page-parent > a, .current-menu-parent > a').addClass('x-active');
 }, 500 );

3 - This issue already has been addressed on our latest updates, we heard the community and now instead of a tiny text box, you get a slide in atext box which is very comfortable to work with.

We are sorry for the issues you are facing and be sure we are working hard to address everything and improvde the product according to the feedback you guys provide.

Thank you for understanding and let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi Joao,

thanks for your feedback. I will try to use your code for highlighting the active navigation link, which i guess is only for the first level, right?
I´m really glad to see that the text editor is in a huge slide again! Thanks for the update!

One new issue after updating pro:
I’ll get no hand cursor when i´m hovering over the envira gallery thumbnails to open them in a lightbox.

An other issue i forgot to write is the mobile menu within the custom header builder: the not clickable first level navigation link when there are second level links within it! Are there any changes or plans for this issue?

Cheers Alex

Hi there,

It will be applied to all active element not just in the top level menu.

About the Envira, would you mind providing a test URL where the issue is? Perhaps it’s just due to skin? It should display hand cursor.

About mobile menu, you mean you wish to make it clickable and toggle the sub-menu, or link it to the page? It’s because parent menu could have a link or could be without. Please add this code to your global custom javascript

jQuery ( function($) {

$(document).on('click', '.x-nav-wrap.mobile .menu-item-has-children > a', function(e) {

e.preventDefault();

if ( e.delegateTarget === this ) {

$(this).find('.x-sub-toggle').click();

}


} );

} );

This is just to test if it’s the menu behavior that you’re trying to do. It should make the parent menu item open the sub-menu when clicked, instead of just the toggle.

Thanks!
