So I've had loads of fun using RLMP. Its taught me a lot about responsive layouts, more so than using them before.
In the past I've hand-coded using http://www.1140px.com/, and whilst the results were fine, prototyping with RLMP allowed me to discovered a better layout. Im finishing off this website, I rebuilt my portfolio page using RLMP, just to see how far I could push the software. Remember to click on the "read more" for the "project" template too.

I love the sliding bar and the drop in elements, plus the abilty to shuffle elements around. What you see in my website is actually 99% built in RLMP, only a little bit of custom.css was used and I needed a gallery tool, which was 'Magnificent Popup'.

A few bugs I found along the way.
* "Delete" and "Duplicate" can disable themselves randomly in the app, I have to save, close and re-open the app to use them again.

* Redundant CSS code remains in export, I have to manually remove it to optimize the code.

* No way I can rename the page title of the index without the file itself being changed to new name, therefore losing an index.html in the export

* If I use Bootstrap, the far right break-point for large screens is trapped behind the properties box, can't reach it unless I enter preview mode, shrink it, then come out of preview.

* Social element is pretty useless within the app, only way to make it work is to edit manually in notepad. I know this is only a template tool, but would be nice to link the social images to profiles in the same way you can link images to an href link.

*Can't seem to change the way the non-gallery images link. I want them to open another page, but because I have a gallery script running its trying to open any image on the website as a gallery image. (Doubt thats RLMP's problem)

Looking forward to an update and RSD. I think as soon as you guys provide Bootstrap 3 I may be tempted to try and rebuild it again just out of curiosity.

Any help with my bugs would be a huge advantage. Thanks

Glad you are enjoying RLM!!

I think it is important for you to understand what RLM was intended to be used for as a few of these issues would be addressed with our Responsive Site Designer application instead. Within a layout/mockup these items really are not needed.


If you can figure out how that is happening, that would be helpful.


What exactly do you mean by redundant code? What are you attempting to remove?


That is really not needed in a layout which is why it is not in RLM. This will be something found in RSD.


I am unable to replicate that issue. Try always maximizing the application and see if that helps.

That is something you do after export and not in RLM. his will be something found in RSD using the HTML Element.

I've not used Bootstrap, so I don't know if the issue is related to that in particular. Nick, the first thing to do is make sure RLM is expanded to full-screen. I have noticed that on smaller screens the slider can get caught under the right-hand properties panel. The place where I run into it is on my laptop which has a much smaller width than my desktop.

This could well be the case for my screen size, I'm using a Yoga 13" so things may be more cramped than normal. Its not unusable, I just need to enter preview mode, drag the slider down, but with the breakpoint hidden behind the panel, I forget it's there until I realise that my website layout doesn't look right in full screen browser, and I can't optionally delete that breakpoint.

I think I've already mentioned this problem in another thread, Its if I delete a row or column in the project and update the export. The css in "main.css" is still showing data on the deleted parts. I then need to go through and manually remove the unused css.

Apart from that, I'll admit I think I am wanting too much from a layout tool, Im just seeing far too much potential here for RSD, can't wait

Ah, ok. The good news there is this has been addressed/fixed already and will be included with version 2.0. I was thinking you were describing something different.

Since I am using windows XP, I understand Coffeecup no long supporting any issue I have regarding their software so I never bother to report this issue but for your info you are not alone I have the same issue here, I am using 15" laptop and I can see only two breakpoints in my screen for bootstrap framework when RLM application open in my full screen and two of the other breakpoints hidden behind the properties box but in generated CSS document after export I can see four Breakpoints.

@media screen and (max-width: 1200px) {
}

@media screen and (max-width: 979px) {
}

@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
}

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
}

Should I give you screenshot?



If you mean in right click context menu where we duplicate and delete elements within RLM , I have come a cross few time regarding this issue and have no idea why that happens and just close and restarted application solves the problem.

Yeh, exactly that, im sure its just a minor bug, but seems to happen at least once every time I use the app for a prolonged period of time. Im using Windows 8.1 if that helps
