Announcements overlapping when Read more button hidden

Hi lgfernandez,

This issue has come up a few times and someting I am actively working on getting resolved. When I set things to tru masonry where announcements literally sit on top of one another the layout tends to get thrown off and the announcements out of order.

I will be working on getting a fix in place in future releases. We’ve just released a pro version with some filtering functionality, and the ability to create and display numerous timelines throughout the site. We’re working on getting some documentation up for it, but you can see the functionality here.

Thanks,
Evan

Hey!
Finally i decided to take a look to the code to see if i could fix it.
And i could! so here i bring you the solution if you want to know.

As they say here: https://masonry.desandro.com/options.html#gutter
you have to set the magin-bottom in the css, because it has to be before calling masonry.

so i changed it in “timeline-express.css” (and the minified version)
where it says:
.cd-timeline-block{margin:25px 0;}

i replace it with:
.cd-timeline-block{margin:25px 0;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}

adding the margin-bottom and setting to !important because there is another margin somewhere there.

The problem was only when you configure the timeline to hide de “read more” button but this solution works in both modes.

you can see it here in my web: https://viajemonosdeaqui.com/nuestro-camino/

thank you again for making this plugin!

How did you manage to hide the read more buttons?

there is an option in the configuration of the timeline.

but Announcements are gonna overlap, unless you make this change in the code(the one i put over here)

Hey, looks like I’ve missed it. ?? When hidden, mine overlap as well.

I can change this through wp interface at plugins-edit-timeline-express.css right? I dont have ftp access atm so I’m worried any modifications might make everything crash. ??

Otherwise I must say, amazing plugin.

Hi,

If you guys are still having issues I would recommend taking a look at the latest re-working of the plugin. We are actively working on finalizing any little bugs before pushing things out to the WordPress repo to take over the current version with this issue.

The github repo can be found here:
https://github.com/yikesinc/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/tree/staging

And the latest release can be directly downloaded from:
https://cloudup.com/files/i1ZiiEWAr6k/download
and
https://cloudup.com/cvV9kfzk4a7

We’ve completely re-written things and it’s far more stable. The number of issues reported by our beta users is down significantly.

I would recommend taking a look.

Thanks,
Evan
