Optins 2.0.2

by Alex Mangini

The Email Form block is rebuilt to match the new Block Enhancements Drop-in, with every option the Optins CTA has. Requires Marketers Delight 6.0.3.

22 updates

  1. New featureEmail Form block options for a lede, title color, overlay color and opacity, background size, border radius, and an image with its position and width
  2. EnhancementEmail Form block colors come from your theme palette, and changing a color clears the old setting
  3. EnhancementEmail Form block padding has a None option, and the block's settings are grouped into Email Form, Text, Image, Colors and Design
  4. EnhancementCTA and Email widget overlays use the theme's overlay color, so they match page covers
  5. Bug fixChoosing "Use default email list" now always shows your default list, including on Page CTAs and the Glossary CTA, where it showed no form
  6. EnhancementThe "Use default email list" choice names the list it uses
  7. Bug fixWide and full width Email Form blocks keep their regular layout, so the form stretches across the wider space
  8. Bug fixEmail forms in CTAs and Email Form blocks fill the width of their box instead of shrinking to their fields (with Marketers Delight 6.0.3)
  9. Bug fixThe Email Form block can be selected and edited again after clicking out of it; its preview is no longer a live form
  10. Bug fixThe Email Form block's Thank You Page URL now reaches the form (AWeber and MailerLite)
  11. Bug fixThe Email Form block's background image is a real background instead of an image beside the form
  12. Bug fixText in CTAs and Email Form blocks with a background image sits above the overlay instead of under it
  13. EnhancementCTA overlays take an opacity, so a picked overlay color no longer covers the background image completely
  14. Bug fixLeft and right (content wrap) images in CTAs and Email Form blocks sit beside the text inside the box
  15. EnhancementCTAs and Email Form blocks with a dark background or a background image and no text color pick light text automatically, and their lede and footer stay readable
  16. EnhancementFloating bars and Email widgets with a dark background and no text color use light text, and floating bar icons pick readable text on their color
  17. Bug fixFooter text shows on inline CTAs and Email Form blocks, not only wide ones
  18. Bug fixCTAs with a text color color their title and footer to match, so they stay readable on dark backgrounds
  19. Bug fixEmail Form blocks no longer print their colors twice, as a class and an inline style
  20. Bug fixEmail widgets with a background image get the same fade as page covers
  21. DeveloperThe CTA box class is now optin instead of cta, so it's no longer confused with the theme's .cta group inside it; update custom CSS that targets .cta.inline or .cta.wide
  22. DeveloperThe Email Form block moved to email/block, and stores images by ID; older blocks are read with md_email_block_attributes()
