How can I use Confluence layouts in Scroll Viewport?

Scroll Viewport is stripping the 'layouts' (eg 2-column or 3-column blocks within a page) that I've added in Confluence.

Is it possible to enable this?
Thanks

Hi @Craig Melcher

I was wondering if you're using the Help Center theme in Scroll Viewport or if you're using the Web Help or a totally custom theme.

This will help me figure out what's happening here.

Hi @Matt Reiner 

Yes, we're using the Help Center theme in SV. I'm just using the theme settings in the app, not using any customized CSS etc. 

Thanks

Ah, OK. 👍🏻

Unfortunately, we don’t support Confluence’s page layout option in Scroll Viewport and this limitation is by design: To guarantee a perfect presentation of your content we currently suppress multi column layouts.

Content on columns is instead displayed beneath each other (as you see in your example). We think that readability might suffer as the article template is already divided into two columns, the article navigation and the article content (and even three columns if the Table of contents option is enabled).

So we recommend laying out content so it’s optimized for the width of the article content column.

That’s not to say that we won’t offer multi-column layouts in the future, but we think it might require a rethinking of the current article template altogether (maybe a different article layout option in the theme editor).

Hi @Matt Reiner _K15t_ , is this information still correct one year later? Any suggestions how to use text on the side of a picture or at least divide a page vertically?

 

I also noticed that Confluence blog posts also seem to be disrupted by Scroll Viewport:

Hi @Harald Heinz

Yes this is still true now, but I’d love to better understand what you’d like to do.
You mentioned putting text next to an image, would you elaborate on what you’d like to do that versus putting it above or below the image?

Also, that blog issue looks serious. I’d bet it happens as per of a limited case, so it’d be helpful if you write our team at help@k15t.com and let us know the steps you followed to run into this issue. That will help us recreate the issue so we can come up with a solution. 

Moved to separate thread

Hey @Nick Humphries

Would you mind linking to the other community thread here, I can’t seem to find it.

Hi there,

From my point of view this is a big limitation. I understand it might be a low priority issue, but if it is design decision to not support layouts (sorry for my honesty) it is non-sense. Why to decide not support such a frequently used functionality?  

Several use-cases from top of my head:

  • Two images beside each other with some explanation.
    • Before  scenario.
    • After scenario.
  • Back and forth buttons in tutorials flow.
    • One on the left side.
    • One on the right side. 
  • Set of quick links pointing outside documentation divided into three column sections. E.g.
    • Use-cases: case 1, case 2, case 3
    • Legal: Terms of use, Privacy notice, Cookies policy
    • Community: Stack overflow, Blog, Github

Please reconsider the design decision and priority of the issue. Thank you for your work and kind regards.

Hi Ondřej,

We've been working on support for Confluence layouts and will release the enhancement in the coming days. You can track the progress using https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VPC-315.
