Ideas for Arc XP

Ability to use 16:9 and 8x3 image format when configuring blocks

Image format in Themes only allows for 4:3 format of images within blocks . It should be possible to select what image format should be used for the individual blocks when building the page in pagebuilder. 16:9 and 8x3 image format are often used in our publications

  • Large Promo Block

    That sounds great, Sara. I tried looking for these settings in Sandbox now but I couldn't find them.

    Thank you for the feedback. Previously, Arc Blocks always used the following image ratios for the given promo display size:

    • Extra Large: 4:3

    • Large: 4:3

    • Medium: 16:9

    • Small: 3:2

    In our latest release (0.5.0, released to Sandbox today), we've allowed you to change the image ratio for each display size within the Top Table List block, and on the XL, L, M and S Promo Blocks, to any of these options (4:3, 3:2, or 16:9). We plan on adding support for the Manual Promo Blocks (XL, L, M and S) in the near future.

    As for the 8x3 ratio, that would be a custom ratio for your organization. We can consider adding custom image ratios as an option in the future. Would you mind submitting a separate Idea for that, for being able to use a custom image ratio on blocks? Thanks very much!
