Frequently Asked Questions
Advertising spaces between directory cards Q3: What makes STELLAR different from other directory templates?
STELLAR stands out through: - Modern dark theme with glowing orb animations - Responsive card-based layout - Built-in SEO-friendly structure - Performance-optimized image handling - Scalable database architecture for large directories - Mobile-first design approach
Q4: How can I add custom filtering options to the directory listings?
A: You can implement filtering in STELLAR by modifying the routes.py file. Here's an example:
python
@app.route("/")
def home_route():
category = request.args.get('category')
if category:
active_links = Link.query.filter_by(
is_active=True,
category=category
).all()
else:
active_links = Link.query.filter_by(is_active=True).all()
return render_template("home.html", links=active_links)
Then add the corresponding HTML in home.html: ```html
```
Q5: How can I modify the animation timing of the feature cards reveal effect?
A: In STELLAR, you can adjust the animation timing by modifying the IntersectionObserver configuration in home.js:
javascript
const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
entries.forEach((entry, index) => {
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
// Add staggered delay based on index
setTimeout(() => {
entry.target.style.opacity = 1;
entry.target.style.transform = 'translateY(0)';
}, index * 200); // 200ms delay between each card
}
});
}, {
threshold: 0.1,
rootMargin: '50px'
});
This code adds a staggered reveal effect with customizable timing for each feature card.
