Multiple components per block

G'day folks --

At the risk of raising a newbie issue, there appears to be no way to add multiple components to a block. I say appears, because I am likely missing something...

I have put in some body text and successfully added an accordion component. Now I want to add some further text below the accordion. I can do this with another block, but that creates a big space when I don't label the block.

Thanks!

David

    Hi David,

    Thanks for your post! You can only have two components in a block, but there are ways around this with some CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

    The padding from the block under the accordion can be removed with these steps:

    Step 1: Add a class to the block. This needs to be on the block. If it is added to a component, it won’t work. (See image 1)

    Step 2: Add this CSS to the CSS/less box in the project settings. (See image 2)

    Thanks Ellie.

    In the end, I did what I wanted using a table in a text block. Or maybe a component, I forget now. The Table component was neither intuitive to use nor reliable in its laying out. Some questions arising:

    1. Where would I report bugs and/or feature requests?
    2. Publishing results in a zip file. What do I do with that?
    3. The blurb talks about "microlearning on smartphones". How does that work? It's not explained anywhere.

    Thanks. David

    Hi David,

    Thank you for your questions. The answers are listed below:

    1. Feel free to email me at enquiries@app-elearn.com for any bugs or feature requests.
    2. If you publish to SCORM, it'll display as a zip file that gets uploaded into a learning management system. If you publish as HTML, you can unzip it and play it locally or connect the launch file to a button on a website for example.
    3. Once you have your course published and loaded on a learning management system or website, you can view it on your smartphone. Microlearning is an industry term often used to describe short and sharp learning resources/courses.

    I hope this is helpful and answers your questions. Please feel free to email me if I can help with anything else.
