[Resolved] Best Gutenberg block plugin

Hi
Which Gutenberg "addon" plugin would you recommend which plays best with Toolset?

It should include a nice post carousel block, like the one in "Ultimate add-on for Gutenberg"
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-addons-for-gutenberg/
which looks great in the backend:
hidden link
but regrettably isn't compatible with Toolset (checked with support at Brainstorm):
hidden link

If it also includes a nice set of other blocks, that's great. It does not have to be free.
Thanks,
Kjetil

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Actually - we do not have any Toolset Block plugin to recommend as there is the number of Gutenburg Blocks plugin available to download onWordPress.org.

However - I still do not know why you want to use that Gutenburg add-on plugin as Toolset Blocks is already there.

That, dear Minesh, is a VERY good question.
I just didn’t know how to use Toolset blocks to achieve this.
Now I’ve found this:
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/create-and-display-custom-lists-of-content/
- and I have come a long way(!)
So - sorry about the clumsy/ lazy entry on this.

Now, there are two styling issues I hope you can help me with:
If you log in you can see this private page: hidden link
1 - How can I place the text (now below the image) in the middle of each image?
Similar to this: hidden link
I would guess I might somehow set the image as a background and then center the image in the same area/box...?

2 - How can I narrow in the grey box around the slider, so it is just slightly wider than the images?
(More or less like within the red lines here: hidden link
In the settings I could set the image's display width but can not find any way to adjust the width of the box.

Thanks,
Kjetil

PS If you'd like to have a look under the hood, I'll gladly give you admin login

I'm not able to see the private page you shared. I think I will require access details to see it.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Ok - to add overlapping image text - you should add first container block.

Please check the following example test I've created for you: hidden link
=> hidden link

Please check the following screenshot:

I request you to open a new ticket with your every question you may have. This will help other users searching on the forum as well as help us to write correct problem resolution summery.

Thanks a lot Minesh
This solved everything
Now I also understand better how things hang together - great
Theonly thing I can't really figure out the logic around is where to place the container which in turn will contain the background image and overlay text. I'll keep your screenshots
Thanks
