Hi there, new upgrader and have made a few simple websites with your software - and busy trying to improve my portfolio of my video work for various UK broadcasters.
I’m keen to have a video grid with all the films I’ve made, but an option where you can toggle between the genres, a little like this website has: Our Portfolio | Frantic
Is there any way that this can be done in sitely?
I would love it if there is - I’ve seen a few sites where this happens and it animates the boxes into position when you select the genre you want to see.
You can achieve a similar result by using layout blocks. These blocks allow you to display a specific block while hiding the others when clicking on a button. For example, by clicking on a button linked to a category, you could display the block containing the thumbnails of the videos in that category. Here’s how to proceed:
Create the layout blocks: Create a separate layout block for each category and insert the corresponding video thumbnails into each block.
Assign a group ID: In the Style tab of each layout block, assign the same group ID to all the blocks you want to manage together.
Set the initial visibility: Check the Initially hidden box for all the layout blocks, except for the one you want to be visible by default when the page loads.
Add category buttons: Add buttons representing your categories higher up on your page or wherever you prefer.
Configure the buttons to control the blocks: For each button, set up the following action:
• On click: Visibility of the layout block
• Select the block corresponding to the category of this button.
• Choose the option Show.
• Check Close other layout blocks.
• Group ID: Enter the group ID you assigned in the layout block settings.
Once this is set up, when you click on a button, the corresponding layout block will be displayed, while the others will be automatically hidden.
