Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3

Blockkit 1.3 is a free upgrade for anyone who purchased an old version of Block Kit. You should have been sent an update but if you did not receive it, please email Daniel.

Blockkit 1.3 is compatible with version 1.2 but not earlier versions. (You can install the 1.3 framework but still use the 1.2 blocks)

Find the old support pages for Block Kit1.2 here

Block Kit Theme

Double click the theme to install it into Rapidweaver. It will have the name 'Block kit 1.3'. Version 1.2 Blocks will work with this theme, so you can easily change the theme without needing to redo all the Blocks in your site.

3rd Party Themes

Easy
For the easy method, install the new 1.3 snippets. First delete the 1.2 snippets from the header, and then install the 1.3 snippet. Like the Block kit theme, your site should continue to work with these new snippets.

Medium
The Medium method has been discontinued as it is not as good as the easy or hard method. If you really really want to use the medium method the snippet is provided in the extra files folder. Other wise, delete the snippet you added to the header and remove the files you linked to in the assets. Then use the hard method.

Hard
Remove the old additions you made to index.html.
The old code started with the line:
<link href="%pathto(css/add_to_assets/css.css)%" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
and ended with the line:
addCss(".navcontainer a {visibility: hidden;}");
</script>

Delete this code as shown. Follow the new instructions for the hard method. Remember to replace the add_to_assets folder.

Blocks

Version 1.2 Blocks will work with the 1.3 theme/snippets but some options will not be assessable such as height. Version 1.3 Blocks should work with the 1.2 theme/snippets but some options will not be assessable.

Stacks

Stacks will not work with Block Kit 1.2. You must upgrade to 1.3 to use Stacks.
