Hi guys!
I've made a new block that allows you to split an area into any amount of subareas you want. Subareas behave exactly like areas, so you can add any number of blocks to a subarea, and move them around.
You can see a working example here (although without looking at the backend it doesn't impress much): http://c5sandbox.codium.co.nz
I was looking for a free screen capture software for the mac to be able to post a video... but couldn't find. If you want to play with it contact me through my profile and I'll give you edit access to the page.
Let me know what you think before I offcially submit to the marketplace.
yeah, this is cool.
in section 3 you've that page list block, with page not found and page forbidden.
I got this error too, since the latest stable concrete version, wondering if this is a bug or what?

Superb work matt, as a designer having to set up pages and page templates for each multi column block was a nightmare let me know when this is available and I'll be purchasing!
I was experimenting with a grid system along these lines (http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=8825... ), but it didn't allow you to split an existing block. I'm looking forward to seeing how you handled that.
Hi Guys, I'll be posting a demo video probably after the weekend. So stay tuned.
I want to wait untill after you guys saw the video to get some feedback before I post to the marketplace.
I spoke to Andrew the other day and he said the guy doing the marketplace is on holidays, so not sure when will this happen. I'm eager to see it too :-)
not on vacation yet, but I'm totally slammed with work right now, and in the process of moving out of my place. I will try to get this up there in the next week.
we're lookin at it. this one obviously raises a lot of concerns in my mind about compatibility with the rest of the add-ons out there. Assuming we're not creating a environment where someone who isn't a developer and adds this thing is going to break other stuff they've got from the marketplace, the answer is "very soon"
if there is some risk, we'll add it but we'll create a "might be a bit sticky" type of note/category in the marketplace which is on our radar anyway...
Hi Franz,
Regardless if my block is risky or not I was thinking anyway that there should be a place in the marketplace where people can submit their (free) blocks and they become instantly available without approval.
Blocks in that section don't necessarily need to follow the submission guidelines, unless you're serious about your block being in the "official" marketplace.
There are a lots of great blocks is this forum buried in posts, links and attachments, and this would be a way of centralizing them so they don't get lost.
What do you think ?
Only moments ago, I was thinking how great something like this would be. This means both a search box and a login box can be at the top of a home page without pushing everything else down to an awkwardly low level, meanwhile leaving a huge open space to the right of the stacked features.
The tab and accordion thing is great too!
Do you need php to be able to create those "effects" or is it html and css? Sorry if thats a stoopid question.
Its a great block and I'll be in like Flynn for this one, but doing the tabbed panels and the accordion thing easily would make it a contender for the most brilliant thing in the world ever.
Hi Nige, the block comes with 3 templates. The basic div based columns, the tabs and the accordion. The tabs and the accordion were taken straight out of the jquery UI sampler.
You do need a bit of php knowledge the create your own templates, but if you follow any of the 3 provided examples it's really straight forward.
Well frz, I am waiting patiently with my money ready to spend so as soon as you can would be appreciated.
I'm no php or css genius so this will really make a difference to my design skills.
I am looking forward to it.
Hi Greg, you can see Franz' official thoughts on the matter in this post: http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=18680...
You should probably add your comment there...
As developers, if we choose to sell something through the marketplace then we're tied to the marketplace rules. So far there is no option for bulk pricing, but if enough people ask for it, it may happen, you never know.
Hi all, the new version of the Area Splitter is out now.
I've listened to all the requests and suggestions and added a few cool customization options and a table template. I haven't updated the screencast, screenshots or demo site, but those of you who bought it should be able to download the latest version now.
Enjoy!
Fantastic tool! Very useful.
One question:
how to insert multiple jQuery UI accordion options ? like for instance { active: 2 } and
{ collapsible: true } if I simply put both it doesn't work. Thanks
Should work the same way.
If it doesn't you can always add it manually to the accordion template. To do that just copy packages/matogertel_area_splitter/blocks/matogertel_area_splitter/templates/accordion to blocks/matogertel_area_splitter/templates/accordion and then edit blocks/matogertel_area_splitter/templates/accordion/view.php
To work the jquery.cookie.js plugin (available into jquery-ui 1.7.2 pack into the 'development bundle') is needed, I was able add it modifying the controller.php but as I'm not expert with jquery-ui not sure used the best way. I suggest you add this functionality to Area Splitter, very interesting to keep the last Tab selected in a page. Try athttp://www.croci.it/portfolio/ to see the effect
How to update from an older version organized as a block type to the new one organized as a package ?
C5 do not see it as an upgrade , if I try to install I got an error because the matogertel_area_splitter is already defined. If I remove the older version and install the new 2.07 all the pages content created with area splitter disappear... Please help
I can't upgrade C5 to 5.4.1 without upgrade the area splitter too
Hi Damiano, the Area Splitter as all the other c5 addons in the marketplace, has alwasy been a package. Even if it's just a single block.
Which version are you using?
Now I'm confuesd... I believe it was v. 2.05 and I can't figure out why it is installed under the blocks folder instead of packages !
Any suggestion how to solve ?
in section 3 you've that page list block, with page not found and page forbidden.
I got this error too, since the latest stable concrete version, wondering if this is a bug or what?
