      I just edited the description to clarify this feature. Bricks will be an "anything" builder. I just want to extend it to also allow you to visually build your WooCommerce store with Bricks. Community templates submitted by users is a feature I just added to the idea board ("User Submitted Templates"). Feel free to upvote it, if you like.

      Make this an "anything" Builder by not restricting it to just WooCommerce. i.e. have an intermediate definition file that takes pre-built pages aka bricks templates and via the definition file converts to woocommerce pages. Maybe could also be retro applied to your brickswordpress conversions. Then in future can produce new definition files maybe even allow users to produce their own and publish them on a bricks user forum.

  • In Progress

  • Role Manger

    11
    Replaces the old user roles with a new, more granular Role Manager, where you can set the following Bricks builder capabilities:
    • No access (User role can not edit with Bricks)
    • Edit content (no DnD, no editing of CSS controls, no template import, etc.)
    • Full access (User role can edit with Bricks without any restrictions)

    Would love to add custom keyboard shortcuts to the builder. What are your favorite/most used shortcodes?

      I’d love to have shortcuts to jump between major sections of the builder (sections, hover, pages, etc), content vs. style buttons, and a shortcut to search for a block to add to the page (jump to add element, activate search bar). Shortcuts to manipulate blocks would be nice too (hold XYZ to clone or move on drag). Definitely shortcuts to toggle between viewports and turn on/off preview mode.

  • Adjust Spacing Visually (Margin & Padding)

    21
    Adjust your element spacing (margin, padding) by dragging your mouse on the canvas. No more heading over the settings panel to adjust those common CSS properties.

  • User Submitted Templates

    3
    All "Community Templates" are currently provided by Bricks. I'd love to open this up so everyone can submit their own templates for the community to download. This would offer a much more varied and larger collection of templates. I'd also give Bricks template designers additional exposure as you can link your avatar to your portfolio, company homepage, etc.

      I am planning to add migrations for the most popular builders first. So maybe Divi will be next. As this is such a massive task it will take a while to add migrations one by one. Just so you know :)

      Good idea. The same perhaps for other builders, like Oxygen, Divi, WP Bakery?
