SW Modules

Frequently Asked Questions - SW Sprocket Rocket Modules

These FAQs explain how Smithworks SW Modules work inside HubSpot, especially for Sprocket Rocket-style themes. Use them to choose the right module, understand common settings, and give AI agents better context before they start guessing.

How do I add frosted glass to all SW Cards tiles?

Module-wide card frosting is under Style → Cards Layout → Card colors. Per-card override stays color-only.

Can SW Cards use Animated or Aurora section backgrounds?

From 2026.08.19.13.18, SW Cards shares advanced surfaces with SW Hero. Hard-refresh after your theme update.

What is the difference between Heading Side Button and Heading Button Repeater in SW Cards?

Heading Side Button is the older single-button option retained for pages that already use it. Heading Button Repeater is the better choice for new content because it supports one or more buttons in a row. It also gives you alignment and spacing controls for that button group. Existing Heading Side Button content can remain in place unless you need the repeater's additional flexibility.

How do I show an SW Popup Panel on every page except one?

Set Default Behavior to Show first item unless class matches. On that Content Item, enter the destination page token in Exclude Body Class (for example boomers) and keep Label & Body Class as something else or empty. Put the same token on the destination page under Page contents → Hidden modules → Body Class.

Do not put the exclude token in Label & Body Class for that same variant—Label is for showing a variant when the class matches. Use cta-popup-hide only when you want to hide all popup variants on a page.

What should I use SW FAQs Basic for?

SW FAQs Basic is designed for an FAQ section on a single page. You can enter questions directly with the Inline Repeater or load them from a Google Sheet. It also supports accordion and card presentation options when you want a different reading experience. For a larger, crawlable FAQ hub with multiple categories, use SW FAQs Advanced HubDB instead.

When should I use SW FAQs Basic vs SW FAQs Simple vs SW FAQs Advanced HubDB?

Prefer SW FAQs Basic for new page-level FAQ sections (Inline Repeater or Google Sheet), including the optional Accordion 1 or stacked-row Accordion 2 presentation. SW FAQs Simple is deprecated for new content; existing instances still work with HubDB or Inline Repeater. Use SW FAQs Advanced HubDB for the dedicated FAQ hub with categories, search, topic tags, and pagination (for example /faqs).

How do I load FAQs from a Google Sheet in SW FAQs Basic?

  1. Set FAQ Source to Google Sheet.
  2. Open Google Sheet Settings and paste the shared spreadsheet URL into Google Sheet link.
  3. Keep the starter columns for the question, answer, tags, active status, and sort order.
  4. Share the Sheet as Anyone with the link → Viewer.

Only place public information in the Sheet. Visitors' browsers load the rows, so filtering does not protect private data.

Can I display SW FAQs Basic as an accordion?

Yes. Open Style → FAQ Layout Settings and turn on Accordion FAQs. Under Accordion Mode, choose Accordion 1 for a compact chevron layout or Accordion 2 for stacked rows with plus and minus icons. The same settings group controls accordion behavior, spacing, and the optional FAQ Cards treatment.

Why are Facebook or YouTube icons missing from SW Header Simple?

Open the affected header link and make sure Add Icon is turned on and the correct icon is selected. Publish the global header content, then hard-refresh the page to clear an older cached version. If the icon still does not appear, confirm the setting on the specific button or link you are viewing. A persistent issue may require a theme update or support review.
