Adding custom class to existing modules of Page Builder

[mbtocalli]

Hi, I/m starting to deep into Unyson framework. I just want to know if it is possible to add custom metaboxes to existing shortcodes. For instance, the SECTION shortcode/module allows me to use an image as a background, but can't choose to set the background-size to cover or background-attachment to fixed in order to get a stylished section. Another important metabox to add to all shortcodes/modules will be custom classes, this way, style customization will be possible with CSS.

You can overwrite this options file in

{theme}/framework-customizations/extensions/shortcodes/shortcodes/section/options.php

and add/change any option you want. But you will also need to overwrite this view because it expects those options values in the $atts variable, if some option will not exist, the view will not work properly (php notice: array key does not exist).

So you want the user without programming skills to add css classes for every shortcode and to write css for them?

I recommend to use only options and generate css from their values.

Hi! thanks for your response. I don't want the final user without programming skills write css, instead, I think it could be useful to let them add (or select) preexisting classes. This classes could be explained in the same metabox description or even in a separate tutorial. Every premium themes has shortcodes that the user MUST read the tutorial before use them.
