Duplicate Cards from Template?

Post by rebecca »

Hi there! I was evaluating the builder, and just decided to purchase it today. (It's pretty darn cool!) But I'm running into a problem with a template I'm using. (The error is MINE.)

I downloaded the books_with_breakpoint template, and I got the first 3 carousel things to work correctly. However, after I added two additional carousel (things?) I found that the cards were not duplicated. I need the cards on the last two to match the first three perfectly, but when I copy and paste it doesn't anchor like it's supposed to. I checked the tutorials and FAQs and I don't see how to do this listed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If you copy the Carousel object then all content should be included.
What exactly did you do to make it not work?

Hi, and thanks! I'm not sure what I did / am doing, because I'm such a noob at this program. (I'm used to displaying HTML, copying it, pasting it, and tweaking it.) Since I'm not supposed to touch the HTML in this, I tried a straight up copy of just the card3 and pasted it on carousel page 4, but that showed on all the pages.

I've tried copying card 3 directly into the card placeholder on carousel 4, which doesn't put it in the placeholder, but where it should be positioned. Unfortunately that also shows the same card mashed over the other cards on carousel pages 1-3.

So now I've saved card3 as an object, then inserted the object on carousel 4, and am attempting to reposition it. But the position changes back to 0 every time I type in the numbers. I'm still playing with it, and hoping to find some kind of 'locked' feature or something that I can untick.

If you want to copy the entire carousel with all its contents then copy the Carousel objects instead of the individual objects.

Also, note that all objects are shared between all breakpoints because it's the same page, only the layout is different in each breakpoint.

The carousel in the books template is set to 'flexible', which means that all elements are floating (not absolute). The card is positioned using the 'padding' of the carousel.

See this related tutorial about layout modes:
