Issue Dynamic Font-size

[rgom...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

I am trying to control the file size from the feed but this is not working properly on the new GWD version.

Is someone having the same problem?

Thanks

I'm having the same issue.

Not sure if I've used the wrong string, but in my case my text is in a span and the binding seem to happen there:

bind-style-font-size="dynamic_data_file.column_name"

I used xx-large, pixel size and just round integers, but nothing seems to work.

Hi Emilio,

When setting up the binding in Dynamic dialog, the binding for font size should look like this:

In the code, it should show:

bind-style-font-size="emily_test_font_size_data.0.cta_font_size"

Can you double check your file and make sure to select the text element (it can be p or span) and bind the font size to the correct feed object (in my feed it is "cta-font-size")? 

Thanks,

Emily

Will do.

At the moment I discarded the option of controlling the text size via dynamic feed, as we need to change it only in a few instances and I can pass the style directly via the feed.

I'll give it a try as soon as we're done with this.

We're having other size issues (dynamic text gets resized automatically and we can't see how to override that) but I guess this problem will be for another topic.

Thanks!

If someone is having a issue with dynamic font-size on GDW version 1.6.2 is easy to fix:

Go to the tag: <gwd-text-helper id="gwd-text-helper_1" fit-font-size-for-selector="[bind-text],[bind-html]"></gwd-text-helper>

And remove fit-font-size-for-selector="[bind-text],[bind-html]

The final tag need to be:

<gwd-text-helper id="gwd-text-helper_1"></gwd-text-helper>

Cheers,

[Emilio]

THANKS!

Emily. How do apply dynamic font sizes through adwords with this method? It seems like that is a custom schema object. Adwords doesn't have their schema objects exposed anywhere that I could find so we're limited to what's given to us.

Hi, This still doesn't work for me.

I've also checked that the binding code is as Emily details above, which it is.

All other elements controlled by the feed are binding and firing correctly apart from this.

I'm using Version 2.0.5.

I've edited the tag as you suggested and republished the creative and retransformed the feed.

Does the font size column in the feed need to be set up in any particular way? I've just got my font sizes listed as numbers, eg: '20', without any 'px', etc.

This has been set up as the default 'Whole Number' element under the 'Manage Data' tab. Should it be set to something else? Just want to eliminate any earlier steps where I may have messed up.

Many thanks

Ben

You should include px in your font-size values in the feed, i.e, "20px". I prefer whole numbers but believe fractional values are acceptable.
