Overlap images and sections with 7.1

Site URL: https://www.weareteller.com

I'm trying to have images overlap different sections like the attached image.

Using negative margins I can get it to move outside the container, but don't know how to get it to overlap.

Okay I must be going crazy now. That code no longer works. It's now stuck behind again. Is there a change I broke or something else I have to do?

Here's the code I'm using (I re-added the image so the block-yui changed):

/* remove section bottom padding */
[data-section-id="5ddd4eb4522cc3312c5226a6"] .content-wrapper {
    padding-bottom: 0 !important;
}
/* remove overflow hidden */
div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1587085802684_25650 .image-block-wrapper {
    overflow: visible !important;
}
/* overlap image */
div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1587085802684_25650 img {
    width: auto !important;
    bottom: -20% !important;
    top: unset !important;
    right: 0;
    z-index: 999;
}

I used the following to get an overlap feature for an image card block in one section to bleed over the edge into the section below it.  You just need to change the #block-yui IDs in each.  Mine was acting a little funny on smaller widths so I added the screen width settings too.  I had this particular section at the "custom" height of 10 (the smallest it'll go), so you may have to tweak the top: 10vh number in the first set of CSS if you have a taller section.

@media only screen and (min-width: 800px){div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1593439438559_11782 {
    width: auto !important;
    bottom: -20% !important;
    top: 10vh !important;
    right: 0;
    z-index: 999;
  }}

@media only screen and (max-width: 799px){div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1593439438559_11782 {
    width: auto !important;
    z-index: 999;
padding-top: 20px !important;
  }
.sqs-block-image .design-layout-poster .image-card {
    width: 87%;
  padding-top: 30px !important;
}
}

Can anyone provide an update for this because neither code works. 😞

Can you share your site url & simple mockup? We can check easier.

Hello,

I am having difficulty with this, too. I am looking to use a singular image that spans the height (and width) of my entire home page instead of having the image be cut off at the end of the section that it is in.

Example: https://www.thefridayhabit.com/ (see background image is spanning all sections, so it appears).

Thank you

Which image? Can you share link to an image?

Hi tuanphan,

Hi Tuanphan! Checking in on your thoughts, here!

Hi @gregbarbosa,

If you are still looking for a solution for this.  SquareKicker recently release a new Squarespace Extension which is a no-code tool that gives you the ability to customise your site without having to write a single line of code (including the control to overlap images) using a visual builder.

I've done this for a 7.0 website and the mobile view is absolutely terrible. Any solutions anyone knows of?

Which section are you referring to?

Hi does anyone know if it's possible to overlap the image of my hero banner over the section below? 

Here's how it looks right now:

and how I want it to look:

Are you sure you guys not overthinking this a little? Does it HAVE TO BE two sections? Why? You can totally fake it with a single section make it look like two. Works on mobile, too.

Description is on the page. PW: Accordion

@pentool makes a great point, adjusting the background to include the stripe at the bottom works well.

An alternative is to use a rectangular shape block, stretch it to the left and right edges and use the fill screen option on the section to allow you to join the shape to the bottom of the section.

Hi @freshlypressed, you can use SquareKicker for this. Great when you want to keep your background banner images or videos with background image effects etc and then overlap a block over another section.  See instructions below.

In Fluid Engine:

1.) Make the Section Content align to the bottom with Fluid Engine first so you do not have to move it past the Section padding or remove the Section "Fill Screen" to remove the section padding. 

2.) Next use the SquareKicker Section Tool to adjust the "Layer Level" to 1. You will need this to adjust the z-index of the section to make sure the image does not get cropped when you move it down.

3.) Lastly move the image block to the bottom of the section and use the SquareKicker position tool to move the image block down. SquareKicker > Position > Vertical.  Note: this is automatically set to 0 on mobile devices so you don't need to set a device specific code, but you can micro manage this per devices with SquareKicker.

Once you are done, if you don't need to make anymore changes you can cancel SquareKicker and all your saved custom code changes will save forever without an on going subscription. 

Here is a video showing the Position tool in use.

Hello @tuanphan!

I have tried everything in this thread with a similar issue. I want the fruit to overlap sections like the below image, but they just go behind the section no matter what I try. From my research it seems the z-index is what usually makes elements come to the front, but nothing is working. Please help!

Don't remove any code in your current code

Add this to Design > Custom CSS

[data-section-id="6453213e2f1c110bfd8d7c4b"] {
    z-index: 9 !important;
}
