This plugins uses jQuery to force different HTML elements to have the same height. It is very useful when you want to present to boxes side by side an
What if I have different sizes in the same page?
You can group shortcodes like this:
[sameheight group=”1″]
This is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very long text
[/sameheight]
[sameheight group=”1″]
This is a short text
[/sameheight]
[sameheight group=”2″]
This is another short text
[/sameheight]
[sameheight group=”2″]
This text is long, but not quite as long as the previous one. So, I don’t want these to parts to look as long. But they should still look the same.
[/sameheight]
What if I have a responsive site and I only want the same height to apply in wide-screen, side-by-side configurations?
You can add a breakpoint like this.
[sameheight breakpoint=”xs” ] (You could even use no breakpoint at all)
This is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very long text
[/sameheight]
[sameheight breakpoint=”xs” ] (You could even use no breakpoint at all)
This text always has to use the same height than the previous one.
[/sameheight]
[sameheight breakpoint=”md”]
This is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very long text
[/sameheight]
[sameheight breakpoint=”md”]
This text only has to use the same height when it is next to the previous, but not when it is underneath on smarphones.
[/sameheight]
You have these breakpoints (those familiar with bootstrap know them):
- “xs” forces same height for all window widths (extra small window – smartphone). Alternatively, you can use no breakpoint
- “sm” forces same height for window widths > 768px (small window – small tablet)
- “md” forces same height for window widths > 992px (medium window – table or small desktop)
- “lg” forces same height for window widths > 1200px (large window – desktop)
Names and widths are based on bootstrap.
Please, note that shortcodes with different “breakpoint” will be in different groups regardless of the “group” setting. You can still use “group” to separate to groups with the same “breakpoint”.
I have some styles in CSS for my classes. How can I apply classes to the content?
Easy:
[sameheight additional_classes=”my-class1 my-classA”]
This is a short text
[/sameheight]
[sameheight additional_classes=”my-class2 my-classB”]
This is a very, very, very, very, very, very long text
[/sameheight]
Can I use all the possibilities together?
Sure:
[sameheight group=”1″ breakpoint=”md” additional_classes=”my-class1 my-classA” /] will work.
Do I need to use the shortcode?
No! If you are editing your html, you can put the right properties in it. That’s all tha shortcode does. Make sure you add the class ‘same-height’. If you use a break point, add it with a hyphen (-) like this: ‘same-height-xs’, ‘same-height-sm’, ‘same-height-md’, or ‘same-height-lg’. The Javascript is looking for those classes to identify the html elements it has to work on.
If you are grouping boxes, use the ‘same-height-group’ property. Like <div class="same-height" same-height-group="1" >
