Hi everyone, I need a little bit of help with Multicolumn block.
Is there any way how I can be able to choose the background color and text color for each column? I need to create the following design:
Topic summary
Goal: Enable choosing background and text color for each column in the Multicolumn block of the Craft theme.
-
A theme developer provided a custom code replacement for the multicolumn.liquid file and advised backing up before changes. The code appears to modify section settings (e.g., background style, color scheme) to achieve per-column styling.
-
The requester confirmed the solution works for the intended design, indicating per-column background/text color control was achieved. Images were shared to illustrate the desired layout and result.
-
New issue: Columns need to be the same height; the current implementation produces uneven column heights. The requester asked if equal-height columns can be implemented.
-
Status: Partially resolved. Per-column color customization works, but equal-height columns remain an open issue with no confirmed fix yet.
-
Notes: Images are central to understanding the target design and the height discrepancy. No final decision or code for equal-height behavior has been provided so far.
This is David at SalesHunterThemes.
Try to replace the code in multicolumn.liquid file with the code below, remember backup your code first.
{{ 'section-multicolumn.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{%- style -%}
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
.section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
}
}
{%- endstyle -%}
{%- liquid
assign columns_mobile_int = section.settings.columns_mobile | plus: 0
assign show_mobile_slider = false
if section.settings.swipe_on_mobile and section.blocks.size > columns_mobile_int
