Subject: How can an object start hidden for a “Read More” action?



User: Eric K. 3 months ago
I’m trying to create an inline “Read More/Read Less” section in EverWeb 4.5. The new On Click Actions include Show, Hide, and Toggle, but I can’t find a way to make the target text box hidden when the page initially loads.

There is no “Hide Object” or “Initially Hidden” option in the text box’s context menu or Inspector. The “Show on device” settings appear to be intended for responsive breakpoints rather than click interactions.

Is there a supported way to make a normal page object start hidden and reveal it with an On Click Action? If not, is an initial-visibility setting planned for a future update?

Hi Eric,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Currently, there is no built-in workaround in EverWeb 4.5 to set a standard page object or text box to be hidden upon initial page load for use with On Click Actions.

I have reached out to our technical team to request an "Initially Hidden" feature or setting for future updates. While I cannot guarantee that or when this feature will be implemented, it is now on their radar.

In the meantime, if this functionality is critical for your site right now, we could build a custom widget tailored specifically to your needs. Please let me know if you would be interested in discussing options for a custom widget so we can start the quotation process!

Thanks, but no custom widget necessary. I will find another way to accomplish what I need.

Hopefully that will be added, as it seems like a pretty fundamental part of 4.5's new On Click Actions functionality.
