00:09 hey in this video we are going to be
00:10 looking at the popup grid stack and I'm
00:13 not going to be going over all the
00:15 individual style settings for every
00:17 single pop item um those settings were
00:21 reviewed inside the normal pop-up
00:23 caption howto video um and all of that
00:25 is applicable to here they share the
00:27 same settings okay now when are you
00:30 going to want to use the popup grid
00:32 stack um as we saw in the other video
00:35 pop-up caption they are individually
00:38 maintained however in popup grid all of
00:41 the style settings for your animation
00:43 and the styles are actually configured
00:46 at a parent level um and then you can
00:49 add individual popup items that only
00:51 manage the content for that popup and as
00:55 you'll notice in the pop-up grid there
00:57 is a plus button and when you click that
00:59 plus button it adds a new item let's
01:03 dive into the popup grid
01:05 settings and here you'll notice at the
01:07 very top we have grid layout and what
01:10 this does is is allows us to size our
01:12 grid items and uh I did allow this to be
01:16 flexible so that you can kind of use
01:18 your own CSS patterns here um so here I
01:21 have the minimum size of a single item
01:25 is going to be 15 REM that's
01:28 approximately 300
01:32 pixels and then the max is going to be
01:34 1R um most of the time you're going to
01:37 want to keep maximum at one FR um that's
01:40 basically a one fraction unit it's kind
01:42 of like full width sort of thing um it's
01:45 going to make the most sense to have it
01:47 1R in most cases however you can
01:50 customize these to be the minimum and
01:51 maximum size that you want so for
01:54 example you can do I want the minimum to
01:55 be um you know 200 pixels
02:00 and I want the maximum to be 400 pixels
02:03 let's say okay so you can definitely do
02:06 that and then um the grid will
02:09 dynamically add things to the page um as
02:12 we're doing it now as you see here I did
02:16 2400 um because the the they were static
02:20 units okay for the maximum it kind of
02:23 just left this empty space right if I
02:25 were to keep this as
02:28 1fr um you'll notice now that it it kind
02:31 of changes things a little bit right so
02:33 we have a minimum of 200 pixels if we
02:34 want a minimum of 100 pixels you'll
02:36 notice that it even goes even smaller
02:38 okay that's probably too small but um
02:41 yeah we can do minimum of 400 pixels
02:44 right and so and what's great about this
02:47 is um let's do a manual
02:50 adjustment we'll see that as the screen
02:53 changes okay it dynamically adds in new
02:57 items let's change this back to 15 REM
03:00 okay um so yeah there we go you'll
03:03 notice that on large it goes from four
03:06 and then once it can't reach fit anymore
03:08 it goes down to three and then it goes
03:10 to two and then it goes to one okay so
03:13 you can adjust these settings um again I
03:16 think just adjusting just the minimum
03:18 settings probably going to be um all you
03:20 need um but yeah uh I left this setting
03:23 in here just in case we needed to modify
03:26 it for something okay um next up is the
03:29 gap so that is obviously going to be the
03:30 Gap in between each one um I like it
03:33 with a gap but you can set this to be
03:35 zero or whatever you like right so if
03:37 you want zero Gap in between all your
03:39 items there you
03:41 go next up is this custom layout button
03:45 now let's say you didn't like this grid
03:48 popup caption does create it's a decent
03:50 grid right it is fully responsive um but
03:54 what if you wanted to create your own
03:55 layouts what can we do here so if I go
03:58 ahead and check the custom layout what
04:01 you'll notice is a drop zone has been
04:04 displayed at the very top now at this
04:06 point what you can do is you can add in
04:08 your own layout Stacks okay so let's say
04:11 for example let's keep this simple let's
04:13 go to um Foundation or I'm sorry the
04:15 starter pack and uh this my free starter
04:18 pack let's add a grid in here okay and
04:22 basically now I can use my power grid or
04:24 or my my grid here and let's go ahead
04:27 and add in um 1 2 3 3 four five uh six
04:32 cells so now that I have six cells uh
04:35 let's go ahead and move all of these
04:36 popup items um into each
04:52 cell all right oh I have one
04:56 more right 1 2 3 4 5 5 six 7 eight
05:01 there's eight okay so now um instead of
05:05 using the grid built into popup grid um
05:07 I'm using my own and again I'm using the
05:09 grid from starter pack but you can use
05:11 Bento or Foundation layouts or whatever
05:13 you want okay it doesn't matter and uh I
05:17 can go inside the grid settings here and
05:19 I can customize it to be whatever I want
05:21 let's say on small I want two on medium
05:24 I want three and on large I want four
05:28 okay um simple enough um let's go and
05:31 preview
05:32 that and we'll see is again on large I
05:35 have four then three and then two and it
05:39 goes all it just stops it two cuz I did
05:41 two was on small so there we go uh you
05:43 can use your own layouts now in here if
05:46 we wanted a gutter right we can add
05:47 gutters at that point um to each one uh
05:51 maybe just gutter see what that looks
05:53 like there we go now I have a gutter and
05:55 we can configure that okay um so there
05:58 we go you can use your own layouts now
06:01 what's also great is you can use feeds
06:03 or something like that into this um as
06:05 well let's show you an example on how
06:07 you can Implement feeds with this um so
06:09 I'm going to go ahead and I added a
06:11 pop-up grid down on the down below here
06:13 um I'm going just going to plop in feeds
06:16 and then what you're going to do is
06:17 you're going to add your popup item into
06:19 there now at this point feeds you're
06:21 going to configure whatever your
06:22 favorite feed is okay it could be a CSV
06:25 or it could be total CMS or it could be
06:27 whatever you want um and then in inside
06:30 of the pop-up item you're probably going
06:32 to use Warehouse image you're going to
06:34 use the macros inside the CSV data to uh
06:38 populate the image um the alt text and
06:41 then inside of the content here you're
06:42 going to implement rules there as well
06:46 so um yeah I'm not going to show a full
06:48 implementation of that but to kind of
06:49 give you an idea here now if you didn't
06:52 want to use the popup grid uh layout
06:54 again you can use a custom layout um and
06:57 then you can add your you know your grid
06:59 into here and you you would essentially
07:02 um you know replicate just as you would
07:03 with any other feed essentially now this
07:06 is using um feeds to populate a starter
07:10 pack grid and it's going to create a
07:12 bunch of grid cells that contain popup
07:14 items right so um yeah it will work
07:18 great with feeds total CMS and a lot of
07:20 other you know layout generation tools
07:22 out
07:23 there okay so now in the pop-up grid
07:26 settings everything after grid layout
07:29 these are all the identical settings
07:31 that you would use as you were inside
07:33 the pop-up caption stack so this is
07:35 going to be all the uniform settings
07:37 across every popup item inside of a
07:40 popup grid so if I didn't want to have
07:42 one to one aspect ratio I can turn that
07:44 off and as you see it turns it off
07:46 everywhere okay so any settings that I
07:49 change inside here will affect every
07:52 single popup item within my
07:56 grid now let's look at what a pop-up
07:59 item is essentially it is just the
08:02 content side of each individual item so
08:04 whether it's an image a warehouse image
08:06 or a
08:07 video the size and all T information if
08:10 you want to make that a link you can
08:11 make that particular item a
08:14 link and then you can also add custom
08:16 content so you can add in your own
08:17 custom Stacks into there as well so
08:20 there we have it I hope you enjoy popup
08:22 Grid it's a super powerful stack uh that
08:25 makes building great grids just like
08:27 this super easy oh
