Extension builder styling

[madebyibloo]

Hi Pablo, I'm not sure if I'm having a brain fart or not but can you help please...

I'm making an extension and I need the extension to be 100% Width and Height, do I place in the 'between style tag'? do I need to name the extension id for the styling to be effective?

width: 100%;
height: 100%;


*I need the actual 'self' extension (id) to be 100% in height and width.

Make sure the 'use div' is off.
Then you can add your own size and position code to the extension.
Unfortunately I cannot help you write the actual code.

Thanks Pablo, I'll give that a try.

The problem I'm having is - It works fine in the layout grid with the self adjusted height, but when I choose 'full width=True' in the extension properties for the layout grid, the height gets cancelled out?

[Pablo]

A full width object does usually not have a fixed height. The height is calculate based on the width (height: auto).
But you can explicitly specify the height in your CSS.

Thanks Pablo, sorry about this.

so this works:

Code: Select all

#MYEXTENSION {
   height: 300px;
}

But this is set to 300px in height at all times.

I want it so when a user changes the extension object height in WB it will automatically set the height in the CSS. Hope I'm explaining properly.

I have tried 100%; and auto: but when selecting 'Full Width=True' is defaults the height to '0'

Like I say, when selecting 'Full Screen=False' the extension sets the width and height from the extension size in WB to the actual size (same W & H in wb and CSS) . It's just when you set the Full Width to true (LG) it defaults the height.

You can use the built-in variable $HEIGHT$

Thanks Pablo, my bad, I need to adjust the container rather than the div within, doh! thanks for your help!

One final question Pablo,

is there any way I can create an extension and not have the 'Full Width' option displayed in the properties when placed inside the Layout Grid?

[Pablo]

The option is always visible, because there is no way for WWB to know whether or not the extension supports it.
