Thank you for your response; however placeholder text is not a workaround. As I am sure you understand, placeholder text is not editable by the user who is filling the form, nor does it populate the field, it simply displays an example. This critical deficiency makes the plugin unusable for many users.

I saw this question and answer, but it’s not applicable for Drupal’s Gutenberg implementation, as there is no equivalent to the classic editor. Is there another way I can accomplish this outside of creating my own custom Gutenberg block?

@logologics thanks also for trying to help. What it appears you’ve done is create a full-screen section (see the fourth comment from above.)

LesTexas, height: “fit to screen” doesn’t accomplish this. It instead only shows the single section/image on the screen vertically and fills the remainder of the screen with whitespace until the next section.

Re: the purposeful “crop” for smaller screens, as I said, that’s not relevant to the limitation in Elementor. This post isn’t about different layouts for different screen sizes, which I’m already aware of. At this point, it’s apparent that the inability to scale an image with text overlay without fitting to screen is a serious deficiency in Elementor.

@lestexas60, yes the image does “crop” when you resize smaller. That is a conscious design choice by the skilled web designers at savingplaces.org. When the user goes to tablet or phone-sized widths, the image changes to a differently cropped version of the photo, which then scales just as the larger crop scales. I was didn’t mention it because it’s not relevant to the discussion.

I will continue shopping for more robust page builders. I expect Guttenberg should be able to handle this task.

Here’s an example from the latest version of their website savingplaces.org. See how the image remains uncropped as I narrow the window width?

No, I mean when you change the size of your browser window (particularly horizontally,) the image I’m talking about correctly scales to the window width as opposed to being cropped on the sides, padded with whitespace on the sides, or repeated horizontally.

LesTexas, I very much appreciate the attempt to help, but I think you’ve missed the problem. tiger721.com doesn’t demonstrate a successful implementation of this feature. As you grow and shrink the window (horizontally,) your image doesn’t scale to the window width. Instead the image is cropped. If you try this at savingplaces.org, it behaves as expected.

LesTexas, height: “fit to screen” doesn’t accomplish this. It instead only shows the single section/image on the screen vertically and fills the remainder of the screen with whitespace until the next section. Or is there something I’m missing?

It seems that what’s missing is a something like a section-layout height option for “background image height”. The problem I see is that I think it would then make most of the background image options nonsensical.

The thanks go to YOU!

xylus/Lisha, I wish you could help me either use your plugin correctly or fix the bug, whichever is applicable. Are you guys still actively working on this?

Alas it is not working fine; you chose a different URL with a past event date. Please visit the URLs I gave you, which only contain an event on April 3, 2018. But the schema on the page incorrectly shows:

startDate 2017-12-06T01:00:00+00:00
endDate	2017-12-06T02:30:00+00:00

https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwilmettejusticeteam.com%2Fevent%2Fwilmette-justice-team-meeting%2F%3Finstance_id%3D5

from this page:

https://wilmettejusticeteam.com/event/wilmette-justice-team-meeting/?instance_id=5

Actually there is another important problem; for repeating events, it has the wrong date. See this: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwilmettejusticeteam.com%2Fevent%2Fwilmette-justice-team-meeting%2F%3Finstance_id%3D5

from this page:

https://wilmettejusticeteam.com/event/wilmette-justice-team-meeting/?instance_id=5

Ah thanks so much; I thought that the structured data was instead embedded within the calendar page rather than the individual event pages.

I am using it with all in one event calendar, a supported plugin. I ran the Google Structured Data Testing Tool, which tests live data, and it showed that there was no metadata added.
