I am really liking the new Materialize Framework and the components in the Matco/Materialize theme. I was wondering if there was some way to export a SINGLE page from it? What I'm doing now is deleting (page by page by page) all of the pages EXCEPT the one I want to keep, but I was hoping there would be a faster way.

It would be nice if you could select multiple pages in the page manager and then delete them all, but from what I can see, you can only do them one by one.

I made the Parallax page into its own project by first making it a component, then I opened a new project and added that component. Finally I saved it as a theme.

If you want to keep EVERYTHING on the page when exporting (including the nagging message, navigation and the legal stuff), I think it is best to wrap it all into a new container and then do the same as I said above. But for just the parallax, I just took the 'main_region'

I will try that today and see how it works. You're up strange hours, Inger. What is it, 2:00 am in Norway now?

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do this. I am able to grab each container and export it, but when I grab the entire "main-page" or whatever the top level is called, I don't get the option to make it into a component.

What I'm really having problems with is figuring out how to place things one-after-another. What I always get is one thing on top of another, so I have text over pictures, and no easy way to place them where I want. When I look at the RSD file of (for example) the Matco button page, the main-page section shows everything I can find as "inline block" or "block" but when I look at the generated CSS, it shows "grid." Where and how are they selecting "Grid?!"

When making components, I also seem to be doing it the "hard way." When I go to make a component, what happens is:

1. I select the container to componentize in the elements tree (best place to be certain I have the right focus)
2. I then go to Content | Components and select Create Component from Selection
3. I give it a name in the "Name" box.
4. I click the "Upload" button (There is no equivalent in google icons for this icon; looks like Google's save-alt, but with the arrow up, not down)
5. A "Confirm" window pops up asking me to login... I don't want to put it anywhere but locally, but I have found no way to avoid this step
6. I put in my credentials and login.
7. I press OK. The screen goes away, but now my component is in my working file library (components preview)
8. I REPEAT the "upload" procedure above, but NOW, it gives me a chance to save the component to my SD3 component library.

I have found no way to do this without logging in, and further, I have found no way to do this without going to "upload" twice; once to log in and once to actually upload. Every time I close SD3, I have to log in again when I want to make another SD3 component. I would welcome any comments concerning the above.

Thanks in advance for anything you can do,

To your last-but-one post: Yeah, I sometimes happen to get carried away when working, so forgetting meal times and bed time may occur as a result...

If you want to wrap a container around everything, go to the elements tree, select the body.
Then go to the left-most pane and insert a container div.
Go back to the elements tree and you will find that new div selected, quite often at the bottom of all your elements.
Collapse as many container elements as possible, so that it isn't too far up to the body.
Move the new container all the way up and drop it just below the body
Then indent the other containers you collapsed, so that they are inside the new div.

The problem with getting things on top of each other may come from making 'bit-by-bit' components. I don't know how the pertaining css is ported along with the components in such cases, there might be something missing. But with the way of sticking it inside a new container hasn't given me such problems, not yet, anyways.

The login to CC accounts for saving/inserting components: I have an explanation of that in my sharing folder (url in signature). See below the initial blurb, on the left side, before the actual building blocks. Someone recently said that the programme started uploading, so obviously there must have been something easily misunderstood. Yesterday I edited the document in an attempt of making it clearer. If something is still unclear, then please let me know.

Then the 'grid': Obviously I'm not the only one here who hasn't managed to wrap my head around that css grid yet. I avoid it wherever I can. That is my only caveat with the new Materialize theme and components, and I'm about looking for ways of creating the same things using traditional positioning. So someone else will have to chime in here with help for grid questions.
