Menus that stagger in, and carousels that line up

Staggered menu entrances, carousel images that share a height, cards that match, and a prompt to reload after an update.

Small releases from today. Most of them you will only notice because the site looks right.

A menu's Behaviour tab has a new Staggered entrance switch. The menu's items come in one after another: fade, slide, zoom, pop, flip or blur, with your own timing. It works on the navbar, the footer, [menu] and floating panels, and dropdowns stagger as they open. Visitors who have asked their device for less motion see the menu at once.

A menu's own CSS classes, also on the Behaviour tab, are now saved as well.

Carousels and cards that line up

  • Carousel images share a height and are cropped from the top, so a slideshow no longer jumps as it turns. Choose the shortest image, the midpoint between the shortest and the tallest, or a height of your own.
  • Cards in a row match the tallest card, including collection cards and blocks, and still stack on a phone.

After an update

An admin tab left open through an update keeps running the old screens, and could save a form without its new settings. The admin now notices the new version and asks you to save and reload. Later hides the message until the next update.

Fixes

  • A required drop-down in a generated form now starts on "-- Select --" rather than appearing to have chosen the first option.
  • Collections shown with scope="mine" (each visitor sees only their own entries) now pass through the same safety check as the rest of the page before they reach the browser.
  • Choosing an admin theme no longer changes the public site's saved theme.
