Bricks Builder anyone?

Grant

I'm using Bricks Builder in WordPress, combined with Kevin Geary's Automatic CSS and Frames Plugins.

Trying to get my head around integrating GD at scale on my sites with his best practices and principles YouTube teachings around proper dynamic content management in WordPress. Other tutorials of his relating to the makings of a modern Dynamic website found here (Part 1), here (Part 2), and here (Part 3).

Any thoughts/suggestions/advice/experience with any of the above gratefully received! CC @paolo @stiofan

P.S. For those of you interested, Geary's free Page Building 101 Course on YouTube has been a huge paradigm-shift for me in a positive way, as it relates to properly building fully scalable and maintainable WordPress Sites.

We are about to launch our Bricks template: https://n7dcyg6k.mygeodirectory.com/

Grant

paolo Yesssss!! Did I spy that it's been built by Cracka?? Great guy and Bricks Educator!! What's the launch timeline? CC @stiofan

@Grant it should not be too much longer, we are just working through any bugs we find now. Feel free to report any bugs you see 🙂

Grant

@stiofan @paolo Any chance I can be a Beta Tester please? Reason I ask is that, literally just before Paolo posted his reply advising you have a Bricks Template, I had, in sheer frustration and desperation, removed Bricks Builder, and installed your Directory and Blockstrap Themes to get started on building the Directory out. Thank you

paolo

I don't see why not. As soon as we are ready, we will let you know...

Grant

paolo @stiofan Thank you. Can I start with it right now please? Don't want to keep building in Directory and Blockstrap, only to have to start all over again in the Bricks Template.

paolo

I don’t think it’s 100% ready, but if @stiofan feels comfortable sharing it with you, I’m okay with that too.

Grant

paolo @stiofan Thank you so much. Happy to start with it right now as it currently is, bugs and all, with 100% liability on my end, and zero on yours and your team. Cheers

I'd also be interested in being a beta tester.

I also use ACSS.

Grant

@paolo @stiofan What's the next step to access the Bricks Template please? Keen to get started building. Thanks

stiofan

Grant how familiar are you with bricks? I'm not sure if a simple template export would be enough for you or if you would need some of the styles (likely). I would need to figure out how to export those too. I could make you a dev site clone on our server?

Grant

@stiofan @paolo Very familiar with Bricks. You could make it a Remote Template, or create the Dev Site Clone on your Server. Thanks

stiofan

@Grant access given!
Some other stuff coming soon too 😉

We have been testing this and offering feedback on its development. It is looking like a very good integration for the location pages, and so far we have found the overall integration to be very flexible for our needs so far.

@stiofan I have replied to the support ticket for you. Again thanks for the effort in this its really starting to look like one of the better directory integrations for bricks builder.

@stiofan @paolo I've been building my custom Bricks site for MONTHS! Please include me in any beta testing. My site is so clumsy at this point, I'd love to see if there's a better way to do this. I also use ACSS.

stiofan

mikulaweb happy to hear any feedback, qe will be releasing a template and docs in a week or two.

@stiofan I'm quite familiar with Bricks already. Am I able to get a copy now to start testing out?

Hey everyone, what's the status of the Bricks template?

If it's not yet available, I'd be happy to use as a beta tester like the others here that have shown interest.

PS, I'm also using ACSS and would prefer to start with the Bricks template.

Thanks!

Any update on this? No news since February.
