Styles for Crowdsignal Poll

  • Unknown's avatar

    Right @supernovia Thank you SO much for that video, that was most helpful! I started via your instructions and surprised myself by how it started forming that way but your video showed it perfectly.

    However, is there a way how the poll can be placed on TOP of the image like my original one did? I know for others it won’t matter but for me it looked wrong.

    There is also the same problem that I can’t view the images on the poll like I first mentioned or is that the old version now going out you speak about?

    < Hi Sharon, good to see you about.
    Have you looked at this?

    Hope you can view them at https://petitpoisvideos.com/2361-2/

    The files are here for you to download if you want;

    Don’t think I have cracked this block quoting yet either! Anyway thanks @petitpoisvideos for your kind words, its great to be back, though not sure you guys are liking my lack of knowledge lol!

    Ok questions are:

    1. is there a way to put the poll OVER the image?

    2. and does anyone think its the windows 10 version why I wasn’t seeing the images mentioned a while ago?

    As @Musicdoc1 said not everyone wants to have to use new things all the time – I am having as you know HUGE problems seeing the images so was prepared to use a new image but now that doesn’t seem possible without it being at the side rather than the image being used as a background which looks most untidy and unprofessional to me.

    Also I agree with @musicdoc1 it is the same with the themes, ok I use free ones, but I like the columns offered where most of the themes now don’t seem to offer that now….?

    I’m afraid that won’t be possible. What @supernovia shared is an alternative to still be able to use the image you like with your poll.

    Ok fair enough. So are you saying those images that I cant see in the poll are the old version? As that is still a problem and if it is not old stuff then it must be – or could be my Windows version?

    Yes, the images you used to use are the “old version” and are going to be removed in the near future. Your Windows version has nothing to do with it.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Right ok. Well thats a shame. At least I know my Windows version is the problem.

    I have to say I think its a real shame that when developers or whoever it is decided on progress and to delete things like themes or in my case Poll images, and people dont like it, they surely should listen to them?

    Oh well never mind.

    I shall keep looking at the video @supernovia posted which was most helpful and informative.

    Hi Sharon,

    If none of the images I prepared for you were to your liking – I think I will take down the page on my website where you can look through the slideshow displaying them.
    I will take it down tonight.

    The link for downloading will still be available to you for a few more days.

    Thank you that was kind of you :-) I liked the very first one again like the one I had on the site :-)

    Here’s the first image on the petitpoisvideos’ page, with the piece of the speech bubble edited out:

    Hi – again
    I wanted to try out @supernovias recipe on how to set up the /media and /poll.
    That worked fine.
    Except; there are a couple of discoveries I could not find a way to adjust/change.
    They could exist even if I did not find it.
    Also; surprise surprise! Edit page and preview/publish page are different things!

    You’ll find the result of my try-out here for a couple of days:

    And here is my try out with cover block;

    https://petitpoisvideos.com/2392-2/

    The examples will be taken down in a couple of days!

  • Unknown's avatar

    Oh my God @Petpoisvideos thats brilliant! Is there a way you could move that box further up over the pic? You have it over it at the bottom anyway….?

    How did you manage it as you said you tried it with cover block?

    Thank you so much for trying and your help and you too @musicdoc1 and everyone else for helping so much. I do appreciate it.

    Apologies @Petitpoisvideos the page didnt load enough for me to read what you put re the frame…….it has now…..such a shame and I totally agree with your statement it would look much better if you could move it over the image.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have added 2 more examples using cover block.
    (Scroll down the page)
    This time, color of frame would change.
    You would have to get rid of the add for crowdsignal….hm….

    Still the annoying fact that things – when editing color etc – are not updating on the edit page. Have to go back and forth to preview.
    It’s really bugging me.
    In the poll block, buttons will not change to any color but brown while you edit.
    Choose blue – and there you go! On the preview/published page.

  • Unknown's avatar

    @petitpoisvideos got that, will go and take a look and get back to you.

    Hi, Sharon
    I took the pages down today, but I took it up again – the one with cover block.
    They seem large, but of course you can adjust a cover block size.
    Scroll down for the 2 latest.
    Hope it can give you some inspiration.

    I will take it down again tomorrow.

    Hi @petitpoisvideos yeah apologies, it was my birthday and enjoying the bank holiday so haven’t been around till now. That’s ok don’t worry, thank you for your help.

    It does seem obvious that I can’t now have a pic up with a poll on it, so maybe the developers could consider allowing that in the future? Ok they’ve discontinued it now but what I mean is to offer it to people who do wish to still use it?

    As @Musicdoc1 has stated, they discontinue certain themes in the hopes we use newer ones but what about those who are happy with older themes? They should have the option to still use them.

    Just my opinion.

    Thanks all everyone anyway for all of your help especially @Musicdoc1 & @petitpoisvideos and I think @supernovia for supplying videos and pictures to help me x
