Meet Stacks

Stacks is a new way to create pages in RapidWeaver: A plugin designed to combine the drag-and-drop simplicity of Blocks with the power of fluid layout.

Fluid Layout

Stacks lets you build pages that flow text to the dimensions of a theme even if the theme has a variable width. You can build flowing columns, flexible rows, and tiles of images.

Nesting Objects

Build columns within columns within rows within columns. Or group a stack of objects inside a box. Almost anything is possible with Stacks.

Take a look at this in-depth example where we build a navigation page using two columns, icons, and HTML elements. A complex layout is simple to create with Stacks.

Adding Assets to a Custom Stack -- How To Do It

Over on my person blog I posted a How To guide to show people a concrete example using assets inside of custom stacks. Read it.

Stacks 1.1.4

A few people reported a couple bugs that affected image viewing with multiple documents and image saving on some machines. Both of these bugs have been fixed in 1.1.4. Although rare, one of these bugs could lead to data loss, so we highly recommend updating as soon as you can.

Stacks 1.1

We've finally added in all those little things we had to leave out of 1.0. Read more about the details in the blog post.

More Info

Make sure to check out our recently completed Stacks Reference Manual, and the demo videos on this site. Learning about Stacks has never been easier.

More Screencasts

We've had a tremendous response from our Stacks screencasts. We'd really love to do more. If you have a great idea for a screencast let us know.

Power Users Only

We've published the API to Stacks. You can build your own components to the Stacks library for your own site, or even publish them for others to use The documentation covers how to configure the PLIST, add assets, and even build custom user interface elements for Stacks. Read all about it.

Yes, this page was created with Stacks, our own YourHead theme, and a bit of Javascript called MediaBox. This page passes W3C Validation for XHTML 1.0 Strict, and more importantly, it can be viewed in all the modern browsers, such as IE 6, IE 7, Firefox, Opera, Camino, Chrome, and of course Safari. We take a lot of time to think about all this stuff, so that you don't have to.
