Source Framework Settings Questions

Shaking The Habitual
1

I haven’t used RW for a few years and I recently got back to RW using @habitualshaker Shaking the Habitual’s ‘Source framework’ and my collection of 3rd party stacks.

I’m having difficulty with using/selecting the proper ‘Container Base’, ‘Container Plus’ (and other containers for content positioning) and their respective ID’s and settings for device sizes, padding and margins.

My confusion in sizes is due to the landing-block-section is a full-height and full-width slideshow made with the WeaverSpace’s ‘Impact’ stack and all of the other site content will fall into the more standard padding/margin settings.

The landing page shows up properly if it’s in landscape mode, but is a blank webpage if the browser, phone or iPad is in portrait mode. Once I turn the phone or iPad to landscape, it displays immediately and stays visible. Same thing for ‘Simulation mode’ in RW. If I turn the phone simulator from portrait to landscape, it’s fine.

If I add any other (Source, StH or ant 3rd party) stacks to the page, I see a jumble of hallucination-looking mishmash of content in stacks that isn’t readable or clickable in the project file. Until I can solve this, I’m keeping/storing all of the other content and stacks for the site in a separate RW project to avoid further compatibility issues with mis-labeled container IDs and improper settings. Once this is resolved, I’ll just copy/paste the other content to the corrected main RW project file.

I know Stuart recently stopped StH development, so I’m not sure how to proceed for support for Source issues.

Any suggestions or help is appreciated.

Hello -

Hard to tell just from the description. I wouldn’t think Impact should be in a container so I would take it out of it (if that is how you have it).

That might help. If not does taking Impact off the a page fix whatever display issues you are having?

Thank you Stuart @habitualshaker, that was an easy fix. I didn’t know you can just drop a stack by itself on a page outside of a container.

I always thought everything on a web page (text, images, videos, stacks, etc.) in RW Stacks, needed to be inside of some type of container, grid, column, etc., not realizing until today, so many years later, that is not the case.

Thanks again!

@design4film As you know @habitualshaker has officially discontinued Source development to pursue other projects. At this moment he is kindly continuing to provide support Source.

For the sake of a small amount of money, I would strongly recommend this wonderful guide to Source and every stack that Stu has created - if it is still on sale?

Nick and Custard-Apple Thanks for the suggestion!

I have the Source Workbook and I also joined the ‘Source Academy’, which are both great learning resources.

I just missed the very simple, but key detail of, not everything has to be inside of a ‘structure-style’ or framework stack container.
