Hi!

Trying to make use of the dynamic content and featured topics widget, but I’m not a fan of carousel layout when viewed on a mobile. Does anybody know a way (with custom css or other workarounds) to remove the carousel feature, and make it into 2 columns when in mobile view? We have done this with a custom html element, but it’s harder with a built in component :)

 

How it is now:

 

How i would like it to be: (just the layout)

 

 

EDIT: Same goes for the Featured Topics Widget.

In short: I want to replace horizontal scrolling with the content being stacked vertically in 2 columns.

 

Is anyone here a CSS-wizard?


Hi @JeppePeppe, it's fantastic to see your enthusiasm for exploring our enhanced Dynamic Content Widget  🚀
 

To modify the layout of the Dynamic Content Widget and Featured Topics Widget to better suit mobile viewing without the carousel feature, you can use custom CSS. While I’m not a CSS wizard, I'm always up for experimenting with new techniques. Below are some CSS adjustments I found to try out for you:


For the Dynamic Content Widget: 

/* Hide carousel controls */
.dynamic-content-carousel .carousel-control {
    display: none !important;
}

/* Adjust layout for mobile view */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
    .dynamic-content-carousel .carousel-inner {
        display: flex !important;
        flex-wrap: wrap !important;
    }

    .dynamic-content-carousel .carousel-item {
        flex: 0 0 50% !important;
        max-width: 50% !important;
    }
}


For the Featured Topics Widget:

/* Flexbox layout for the featured topic cards */
.featured-topic-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.featured-topic-card {
    flex: 0 0 calc(50% - 20px); /* Adjust width as needed */
    margin: 10px;
}

/* Adjust styles for mobile view */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
    .featured-topic-card {
        flex: 0 0 calc(100% - 20px); /* Make cards full width on mobile */
    }
}

 

I hope these tweaks prove helpful! Let me know if this works for you :) 

❗️A quick reminder: Before rolling out any new Custom CSS, it's always wise to test it in your staging or sandbox environment to ensure a seamless experience for your community users.


Thanks @Nadia Nicolai! Although, I can’t seem to get it to work. I want the cards to be displayed into 2 columns in mobile view, this is the result of the featured topics widget at the moment:

(featured topics widget in mobile view)

 

It is in 2 columns in desktop, but still 1 column in mobile. Any idea how i can change it? 

 

This is the settings i have in the widget(changed it to “vertically stacked”, still no 2 columns): 

 


@olimarrio mind if we pick your brain for a moment? Any thoughts on how we can make it display in two columns for mobile view?


@JeppePeppe please could you PM the link for the widget you are trying to edit 🙏


@olimarrio @Nadia Nicolai 

Sorry! It works great. Looks like I had some wrong settings when previewing the page in the responsive view in my browser...

Thank you guys!

 

EDIT: Sorry, tried it on my phone now and it still doesn’t work.


@olimarrio @Nadia Nicolai 

False alarm.. tried the link on my actual phone, and it doesn’t work then…

 

@JeppePeppe please could you PM the link for the widget you are trying to edit 🙏

I have sent you a PM! 🙂
