Notes for dev: Feature Requests

Hi Team,

Hope you are all good.

I wanted to raise some major feature requests (Perhaps even as far away as Enfold 6.0)

Improved WooCommerce Custom Pages
I have gradually been hitting the limitations of Enfold’s WooCommerce implimentation. It is simplistic compared to other builder themes.
if you build a custom WooCommerce product page and want to use the same template for other products then it becomes a hard to manage experience.
To improve this:
– Idea 1 – Allow users to create a global custom template to replace the standard WooCommerce single product page. This would be simillar to enfolds custom footer function – Where the body of the page is replaced with a custom page layout but dynamic as per woocommerce.
– Idea 2 – Create a new ALB element called WooProduct Image. This just re-inserts the default WooCommerce image gallery into an ALB custom single product page. This element is not available if you enable the ALB for single product pages and it makes creating a global template for products harder.
– Idea 3 – I always add a widget area to the top of all shop pages and category pages. This is so I can add product sorting and fillters on mobile devices to the standard WooCommerce shop pages. I would recommend adding this as a feature so users can add their own filters. The CSS required to make this look pretty should also be included.
– Idea 4 – Enfold styling for the WooCommerce Product Search Widget. It has no styling applied to it making it ugly! An easy fix to improve a basic function
– Idea 5 – There is some code floating around the forum that changes the default Enfold Search Widget to search products only instead of pages only. I have posted this in a previous post. I use this because the Ajax dropdown/instant search is very useful on woocommerce sites vs the included woocommerce product search widget which is rubbish by comparison. It would be great to get an option to tweak what is covered by the Enfold search function in the Enfold Control panel so users can use the Ajax search with Woo without custom code.

Header builder
Something I found very useful in Divi by Elegant Themes. They include a header element builder. Simillar to the way the Enfold Footer Builder works. This would involve having a range of new ALB elements covering things like Site Logo, Menu Bar, Social Icon Block, WooCommerce Trolly Block, Search Icon Block and mobile rules available for these elements.

Additions to current header options

– An option to robustly add a cental logo with the menu either side.

– An option to add a second menu below the main one.
Example on this site here:
https://www.simplyneedlecraft.com/ – I have added a widget area to add text links next to the logo to create a second menu effect. Then the main menu below. This is beyond what an average Enfold user will be capable of doing so having it as an option in the panel would be great.
You get a menu bar in the usual location, left or right of the logo (This one currently set to mobile first)
THEN you get a secondary menu below used for product categories.
On mobiles we have one menu displayed (Display different menu on mobiles option selected)
– This layout has come up on several sites I have worked on. Particularly woocommerce based sites.
An example from I think Shopify https://www.burga.com/ – Menu 1 is mobile first, Menu 2 is a list of categories. Gives much better flexibility and UX experience from a shopping perspective.
