Custom Advanced Layout Builder Elements

COMING SOON

The next update will have some major fixes to some older elements. A heads up though, you may need to set them back up as the code updates are significant. So be sure to do a full check of any websites you update these elements on.

Now, a little preview of an element that will have multiple forms. Here is a preview of the new “Movie Card”. Other iterations will include a product card, app card, etc….all with exclusive features to each of them. All will have to layout modes you can lock them into: banner and portrait. The banner layout is responsive and at a point will have the same look as the portrait layout.

Here’s an updated view of the movie cards. Any last-minute ideas for it? I think it’s pretty solid for the first version. Note that this info card doesn’t have to just be used for movies. Can use it for TV shows, Youtube vids, etc. Can be used on all kinds of sites which feature media content. That includes video and audio (music & podcasts). Just use your imagination.

Before I release this in an update, I am going to at least complete the app info card as well. Maybe later today or tomorrow.

As mentioned in the past, I hope that if anyone is using this on multiple sites for clients, please do factor the cost into their invoice and purchase the addon each time. If you purchased the pack a while back and appreciate all of the new elements that have been added, please consider a donation. As with the proceeds of the addon pack, I will donate to various charities…..a coffee here or there notwithstanding.

THANK YOU!

SMALL UPDATE

Am I the only one who hates how the edit link on the front-end opens the backend in the same window? Or you have to Ctrl-click to open in a new tab? All when you just needed to make a quick update to something? Then you end up with all these open tabs….yada yada yada…

So I updated the Edit Button element to have the option between the current method of redirecting you to the back-end….OR….you can now have the back-end edit screen open in a popup modal window right on top of the front-end page you’re editing! This will allow you to quickly make an update, save, close the modal and hit refresh without having to wait for a redirect or switching between tabs.

If you purchased the addon in the past, please consider showing your appreciation for the new additions and further development by making a donation via one of the methods below. All proceeds, minus a coffee or two, will be donated. Please don’t forget to buy the addon for each client you use the addons with, just as you would with Enfold itself. Thank you!!!

MINOR UPDATE

I have updated the modern promo to include most of the default Enfold image sizes. Don’t know why I didn’t have those there before. So now with sizes like the “featured large” one, you can have a promo that is more of a banner.

I also fixed a small bug that didn’t fill the element with the image if the element size was larger than the image size being used.
In the future I will work on a custom size option where you can have full control over the size options for the image element to cover case uses where the image size options included aren’t what you need for your specific uses.

Also….if you have already purchased the addon before and want to or are already using it on multiple sites….please consider purchasing the addon for each use. I am donating the proceeds (minus a coffee here and there). Feel free to show your appreciation and make a donation below for any amount you deem fair for multiple uses of the addon.

As always, share your ideas of current elements and for new ones you would like to see. The element ideas that I am more willing to create would be ones that can have multiple uses…blogs, pages, products, etc. That doesn’t mean I won’t consider any for specific use cases that involve popular plugins as I have done with ACF.

Thank you!!!

Here is a preview of what is coming with the SEO improvements. This specifically is for the App Card Element and shows validation testing.

What does this actually do? Search engines like Google will scrape the microdata included in the code to better display details in search results. Here is an example:

As previously mentioned, I will be taking the time to go through ALL of the elements in my addon and updating the code to include specific microdata that applies. This will take a little time and I will push updates in chunks. Please….please do re-buy the addon for each website you use it on. It is only $25 right now.

Hey, devs! Need a wee bit of help. As I mentioned in my last message, WooCommerce…..for some crazy reason…..removed the shortcode for displaying a single product card. I know exactly how to get it back, but the problem I am coming across has to do with the customization I did to the editor element display. Prior to this change, I had it set with some simple code to display the name of the product in the editor element instead of the element’s name. Almost a necessity when you have a single product to display and have multiple ones.

The problem is that when I include the same code or some updated version, it will show the product name in the editor element….but then break the whole element on the front end. It seems to be the act of calling the product name that does it and I can’t figure out why. The code is really simple and basic. See below (private content).

Ideas?

OH!!! Additionally, anyone who uses the donation QR codes above and includes the order number & email address from the receipt from when you purchased the add-on and makes a donation of $10 or more will get the WooCommerce element add-on for FREE even if you purchased the addon two years ago.

Of course, donations to motivate future development are always welcome. I will be using the proceeds to buy toys for shelters to give out to kids.

You can still get the updates, they will simply be sold separately. With the sheer number of elements included and the work that has gone into it, I have little choice. The original version only had a handful of elements. There are a lot more now. I also have offered discounts for those who have purchased within the past couple months.
