0:01 hey guys this is Isaiah from your head
0:03 software today we're talking about
0:05 stacks for and all the cool new stuff
0:07 we've added to it now I've added five
0:11 big new features to stacks and we've
0:14 made one video for each of those big new
0:16 features but I wanted to make one more
0:19 video that kind of rounded up a bunch of
0:22 the little stuff that we've added to
0:24 stacks because that stuff's pretty cool
0:26 too that's this video and I'm gonna try
0:30 not to make it too long so hold on to
0:33 your hats I'm going to try to do five
0:35 little features and one bonus preference
0:38 and yeah let's go okay so I have a nice
0:47 little document here and you probably
0:48 noticed right away that we're supporting
0:51 a Mojave dark mode
0:53 I like to run my system in dark mode I
0:56 think it's kind of nice and fun but I
0:59 know that not everybody does so of
1:02 course we still support the basic white
1:05 mode too but we can do better than that
1:09 and that's where this bonus little
1:11 preference comes in so in the stacks
1:14 preferences we've added some new stuff
1:18 so you can choose to run one portion of
1:23 stacks or a different portion of stacks
1:25 or all of it in one mode or the other so
1:30 we can run all of stacks in Lite mode
1:32 even though we're running rapidweaver in
1:34 dark mode I don't really expect people
1:36 to do that but one really common way of
1:39 running it I think will be to run your
1:43 sidebars in dark mode but have the
1:45 content in light mode a lot of people
1:50 are building light websites and having a
1:53 light background while you're editing
1:54 the content might make it easier so yeah
1:58 it's up to you we added preferences so
2:01 that you can swap it out any way you
2:03 like all right I'm not going to spend
2:06 too much more time on that I'll put it
2:08 back in dark mode and let's get on to a
2:11 little feature number
2:13 so little feature number one is we've
2:15 added the ability to specify a CSS class
2:19 now this one is sort of for the code
2:21 heads out there people who like to add a
2:24 little bit of CSS or a little bit of
2:27 HTML to their stacks page so yeah let's
2:32 give it a shot so I'm gonna switch over
2:35 here in the sidebar let's see it's this
2:39 one and this lets us add some code to
2:42 our page so if you're not into HTML or
2:47 CSS code just look away from SEC this
2:50 only be a moment
2:52 so I'm gonna add let's see a border and
2:56 we'll add it in a class called bordered
2:59 and you need to say give me a border and
3:03 we'll make it five pixels and how about
3:05 solid blue and we'll finish that up
3:10 right so that you put a blue border on
3:14 anything with the bordered class added
3:17 to it so all we need now is to add the
3:19 bordered class to one of our stacks well
3:22 in the past we've been able to do that
3:25 with some third-party stacks but there
3:27 are limitations to what third parties
3:28 could do so I decided this would be a
3:30 perfect thing to add to the need of
3:33 components and stacks so now every stack
3:37 has one preference down here in the HTML
3:41 section CSS classes so all we have to do
3:44 now is add ordered here and
3:50 theoretically if we preview if I did the
3:52 code right we should see a blue border
3:55 around that stack so it's a quick way to
3:59 add a little bit of CSS to a specific
4:02 stack and it works with every stack
4:05 that's one of the nice things because
4:06 it's one of the default properties now
4:09 for all stacks
4:11 all right that's little feature number
4:14 one CSS classes little feature number
4:16 two is title customization so when you
4:22 have a lot of stacks on the page it can
4:24 get a little bit confusing and in
4:27 previous versions of stacks the title
4:30 was just the type of stack which is
4:32 that's a good thing but if you have
4:34 dozens and dozens of stacks on the page
4:36 and a lot of them are the same type of
4:39 stack then that's not a lot of
4:41 information so now we have the ability
4:44 to add a tundle so I can save my fun
4:48 title and add that to the stack and you
4:53 can see over here the little capsule at
4:56 the top of the stack now says my fun
4:58 title it also says the type of stack and
5:03 we've made a little bit more space in
5:06 the layout so that um yeah you can have
5:08 a little bit more text in there even
5:10 when the columns are kind of narrow so
5:13 yeah give that a try so that's feature
5:16 number two title customization feature
5:19 number three is the ability to disable
5:22 publishing so in the past we've been
5:26 able to hide a stack responsively so for
5:31 instance if I don't want this markdown
5:33 stack to show up on mobile websites I
5:35 can hide it on mobile websites but that
5:40 markdown stack will still be published
5:42 to the page the content will still show
5:45 up and if I had something like an image
5:53 then that image is actually still going
5:57 to be uploaded to your website even if
6:00 it's hiding on mobile because it won't
6:02 be hiding on desktop and even if I hide
6:05 it on all three platforms on mobile
6:08 tablet and desktop well the the assets
6:13 for that for that stack will still be
6:15 uploaded to your site the HTML for that
6:18 stack will still be published in to your
6:20 site it's just hiding with CSS so we
6:24 wanted to make a way to like really make
6:27 a stack not publish so the assets don't
6:31 get uploaded the HTML isn't part of your
6:34 page and you can do that by hitting this
6:36 little checkbox here don't publish this
6:39 deck boom it's just that easy so now
6:42 this image will not be published at all
6:45 and so if we click preview here you
6:49 notice the image doesn't appear at all
6:51 and if we would check the HTML code and
6:54 I won't bother with that in this short
6:56 video but if we if we could you'd notice
7:00 that the HTML for that stack isn't even
7:03 part of the page and none of the assets
7:05 for that will be uploaded at all alright
7:08 that is a quick look at featuring little
7:12 feature number three which is disable
7:15 publishing so little feature number four
7:18 is notes so we can add some notes to our
7:23 stacks now if we want to yeah
7:28 try to help us understand a complex
7:31 layout sometimes you don't remember why
7:34 a stack is in its place so we can add a
7:36 few notes
7:43 they're so these notes now appear at the
7:47 bottom of the stack and they kind of
7:50 hover over any other content that's
7:52 there and we can even choose to have a
7:57 few more notes give ourselves a little
8:00 bit more space and if we want to we can
8:04 put the notes actually in the HTML that
8:07 makes them publish with the page but
8:11 there as a comment in the HTML so you
8:14 wouldn't see it as text in the page but
8:16 if you go look at the HTML you can you
8:18 can find it in there so if you want to
8:20 hide a comment in the HTML for whatever
8:24 reason you can do that now and these
8:29 properties are default properties so
8:31 they appear on every stack even
8:33 third-party stacks right that's feature
8:37 number 4 or 5 this is the last one
8:40 feature number 5 and it's a really
8:43 simple little thing but a whole bunch of
8:46 people asked me for this so I'm hoping
8:48 that there's a lot of yeah that a lot of
8:51 people are pleased by this tiny little
8:53 feature lets see for for this feature
8:58 I need a partial so I'm gonna quick just
9:00 make a little partial so I'm gonna
9:02 select this three column stack click the
9:05 partial button and now we reading this
9:08 partial and I'm gonna back back out of
9:10 the partial okay so normally to edit a
9:14 partial we double click but I'm not
9:17 gonna do it this time instead I'm gonna
9:20 jump over here to the library and I can
9:23 now double click right in the library to
9:26 edit this this partial so here we go
9:29 double click and now edits this partial
9:33 just as if we double clicked on it in
9:36 the layout and one of the nice things
9:38 about that is if we say forgot to name
9:42 the partial very well and called it
9:44 partial number 148 then double clicking
9:48 on it we can open it up and see what's
9:51 what content it is and go oh yeah
9:53 that's what partial this is maybe give
9:55 it a good name so now we know it's our
10:04 three columns partial um in fact you
10:08 don't even have to be on a page that has
10:11 that partial being used so even if
10:14 there's nothing on this page I can still
10:18 double click on this three column
10:19 partial in the library open it up to
10:22 edit it see what kind of contents in it
10:24 and maybe then use it so that's just a
10:29 quick tiny little workflow efficiency
10:33 that we've added to stacks to help you
10:36 edit your partials and yeah orient
10:40 yourself between the partials in your
10:42 library and the partials that are in
10:44 your layout and jump back and forth
10:47 between edit mode and and the layout of
10:51 that partial alright so that is a quick
10:55 look at five little features and one
10:59 little preference um in stacks for but I
11:03 want to make sure that you guys go watch
11:05 all the other videos for stacks four
11:07 because there's some good stuff we've
11:09 added five big new features and that's
11:12 stuff like multiple selection and
11:15 externals externals are a lot like
11:18 partials and it's the big new feature of
11:20 stacks force so definitely make sure and
11:23 go check that video out in fact check
11:27 out all five of the feature videos
11:32 that's all for now thanks for watching"}]
