"the content" element is missing some details?

Hi there,

I am using BetterDocs. If I make my own Layout with Layout Builder and use “the content” element, I am missing some elements (Toc, Bread Crump and Print Icon), which are there if I use the standard post page. Am I able to return them (esp. ToC)?

Thank you,
mickna


Hi @mickna,

Thanks for reaching out.
The The Content element is only to show the Content part of the Page or Post. For the other parts, there are other elements like Breadcrumb, Icon and etc. can be used.


For the Toc, you can use the List elements like Classic Icon List, Classic Feature List or Raw Content with static HTML.

Hope it helps.
Thanks

@tristup: thank you. But this was not the question.

BetterDocs IS already showing breadcrumbs and Toc on a normal post page.
Therefore I expected to see the same content, if I use “the content” element - but it isn’t.
So it is possible, that “the content” is not showing all elements like on the default post page.

Thank you.

Hello @mickna,

When you add a new document using the Better Docs plugin, you’ll have this:

You will insert the title and the contents of the document. Meanwhile, in the Better Docs plugin settings, you have this:

This means that the TOC and the Breadcrumb are injected by the BetterDocs plugin into the layout generated by the plugin.

As what @Tristup has mentioned, the “The Content” element will only display whatever contents were added in the document contents. It cannot display the TOC or the breadcrumb. Please contact the creators of the BetterDocs plugin because it does not support the Cornerstone builder. They have a way to display the TOC or Breadcrumbs using a shortcode or a function.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi @ruenel

That makes sense to me.
Thank you. As always really great support and far beyond other software teams. I am aware, that this kind of questions are not usual in a standard support.

Hi @mickna,

Glad that we are able to help you with this.
