Here are few custom classes which are used in predefined CMS pages, to animate right arrow on button hover:

  1. flex-row-reverse - this call will change the order of the button elements, icons from the left side will be moved to the right.

# Show icon

This feature provides you with the flexibility to select an icon for the button you've created. You can choose from a list of pre-defined icons to add visual flair to your button's design.

# Language Strings

The "Link Text" and "Button Text" fields provide an option to add language strings. This feature allows you to easily update text across multiple buttons or links on your site from a single location. For instance, if you want to globally replace the text "Get Started Now" on all buttons with "Buy Now", you can do so in a language file, rather than editing each button on each page individually via the Lagom WHMCS Website Builder. You have an option to use already existing string, or create your own string, by creating an override file.

# WHMCS Language Strings

In this example we’ll show you how you can use already existing string from WHMCS language file located in /langs/english.php.

For example, if you decide to use following variable in your button $_LANG['cPanel']['emailAccounts'] = "Email Accounts";

If the WHMCS language file does not contain the language string you would like to use, you can create an override file by following this "documentation article" (opens new window).

# Lagom Language Strings

In this example, we'll demonstrate how to use a language string from a language translation file, based on the following example code:

'website' => [
    'products' => [
      'product_btn' => 'Get Started Now'
    ]
  ]

Use the variable $RSLANG.website.products.product_btn. It is constructed from the main key (website), followed by the subsequent keys (products.product_btn), all separated by periods (.). You can then use this variable in the input field for your link.

# Text Editor

# Advanced Settings

# Combine Sections

Eliminate bottom padding and borders from a managed section, allowing the fusion of two sections. It is recommended to apply identical "Section Style" in the "Section Panel"' for seamless integration.

# Frontend

Below is an example usage of this setting in our demo page.

# Overlay Sections

This configuration pulls the section below over the currently managed section while adding an extra 200px padding at the bottom. You can adjust the pixel value by customizing the --cms-section-overlay-margin CSS variable through custom CSS rules.

Section which will be overlapped over this section, should use "Default" setting for the "Section Style" in "Section Panel". This way overlapped section will be transparent, so you will receive required result.

# Frontend

Below are an example usages of this setting in our demo pages:

  1. Product Pages (opens new window)
  1. Contact Us (opens new window)

# Disable Background Shape

Option prepared for "Background Types" where Lagom shape is added to the background.

# Frontend

# Section Anchor

Assign a distinct name to section anchors, providing the convenience of directing individuals to specific sections through purposeful linking.

Here's how you can use the above option:

  1. Offer URLs that automatically scroll to specific sections. For instance, by adding #pricing to the end of a Shared Hosting URL like this: https://demo.rsstudio.net/lagom-website-builder/shared-hosting#pricing (opens new window), you can directly lead customers to the "Product" section.
  2. By adding #pricing to the "Custom URL" field, in "Button Manager" modal, your customers will be automatically scrolled to the "Product" section, once button is clicked.

Please note that the "Anchor Name" should be entered to below field without # sign.
