Parameter Button Icon Active / Non active

[ronaldo304]

I’m afraid I don’t know why this thread was closed by the staff over the weekend. Unfortunately, it was inadequately answered.

How are component parameters wired to the setting options of an element?

Hi, I read https://theme.co/docs/parameters#creating-your-first-parameters and https://theme.co/docs/parameters#control-types-icon but still don’t understand how to wire further parameters to elements. There it is said: “Next, we need to wire up our Parameters so that our controls are outputting properly. To do this, we’ll be using Dynamic Content in the form of {{dc:p:__key__}} , where __key__ is the value of the string on the left side of the : seen above.” I understand that as long a…

Therefore a new question to the last entry:

So that means it’s possible to set parameters for icon option in a button like type of icon and colour etc. but not whether the graphic is active or not?

Hi @ronaldo304,

It might be due to a mistake the thread has been closed by the staff or the author of the thread. And as my colleague Runel says, we do not have any other option at the moment that you are referring to.

Thanks

(I, as author, did not close the mentioned thread.)

So since there is currently no option to de-/activate the additional graphics/icon of a button at the moment, I had to layout two separate button components: with and without icon. Hm…
That ensures a lot of work again, because I have to use different button versions everywhere on the website again and cannot simply use a central master element via parameter change.

Maybe there is a tricky cool coding solution, but in my view as a designer without coding enthusiasm, the component principle is not yet optimal, since I have to create a relatively complex and extensive script, whose parameters, type classes and correct syntax I have to know and write correctly down out of my head or have to copy from the forum or an own archive. In my opinion it’s still too far away from “Define the basic look & feel for this element and choose/click your needs of open parameters for every child”…

For me it remains a feature request to offer another “non-coding mechanics” here: A component (“ancestor element”) would ideally be an element, in which I can simply “lock” certain options like colors, fonts, format, etc and determine options of the elements as “open parameters” for every child (e.g. URL, textlabel, open new tab etc.). Without JSON scripting, just like a “master element” that inherits its locked options to the childs.

Hello Daryl,

Thanks for your feedback. I will forward this to our developers as a feature request.

Best Regards.

Ok, thanks.
@ruenel: Is it possible to see the list of these feature requests somewhere and to vote for individual feature requests?

(Thanks @ronaldo304 for re-opening the topic. I don’t have any further questions about this so far, but @ronaldo304 should decide about closing the topic)

Hi Daryl,

Unfortunately, we don’t have any list to show the feature request at this moment.

Thanks
