Bricks - Menu Builder

[@annebovelett]

I'm seriously (happy!) emotional right now because you are the first full-blown page builder creator who cares and understands so much about accessibility and implements it right. A thousand times thank you, dear Thomas and Team! ♥

[@maxziebell4013]

💯❤

[@Gearyco]

This is a phenomenal way to approach a fairly complex need. Great job!

[@TiagoSLoureiro]

I think it is safe to say this seems like the best menu builder in the wordpress sphere

[@shepdesign]

Almost - Breakdance is on par, if not better.

[@MikeSmithDigitalSmithy]

Took me 5 mins to get the hang of it, and being able to have loops, code and php calls to build dynamic menus... it's exceptional. I've used almost every major builder in the 15+years I've developed with WP... and Bricks is without question the best of the lot. Deeply grateful for your hard work and the responsive team which helps with bugs and questions :)

[@SuperIce6374]

No kidding. The features are insane and the whole thing just feels snappy, clean, lightweight, and dialed in. Designing in it feels better than Breakdance by quite a bit and a lot better than Elementor. Plus the dev is so damn good.

[@zafit02]

@@SuperIce6374 i was going to buy breakdance but i think im going to buy bricks

[@sophiemulders]

I would love to know how you did the loops etc!!!

[@maayanzilberberg2523]

Wow! Can you please help me to achieve dynamic mega menu for ecommerce website?

[@John.Rearden]

Beats Elementor’s Mega Menu by a mile, kudos.

[@rightpadding]

Good luck with accessibility with Elementor's. haha

[@anthonycxc]

How about comparing Bricks with Breakdance? Which is better and more flexible?

[@John.Rearden]

@@anthonycxc Bricks beats Breakdance by a long shot. Breakdance is built for amateurs (Beginner) while Bricks is built for Professionals.

Great work by the Bricks team, welldone Thomas 🔥🔥

[@benjaminjoksch6626]

I've been on Bricks for a few days and was already very impressed with everything, but this really tops it. WOW. Just thanks for all the hard work and giving us the opportunity to make complex things so simple. I am really impressed. Thanks to you guys!

[@mreclecticguy]

I've been looking forward to the promised expanded menu features in Bricks and you did not disappoint. Thank you. Can't wait to play around with these new menu elements in my local sandbox.

[@davefoy7276]

This is SO SO good! A typically thoughtful approach. Well done Thomas and team. 👏

[@ChrisGill]

This is incredible! Since my company discovered Bricks about a year ago, we no longer use ANY other page builder! This new nestable menu functionality is going to be a game changer! Can't wait for the full release! Finally - a development company that listens to and cares about its users! Keep up the stellar work!

[@pr12WingYin]

Very nice update! I have been using bricks for my own site for a couple of months now to get to know the builder and the basics. So glad I made the change! Great builder, great team and also a great community!

[@albertkorsukov151]

So much love for you guys ❤

[@imanol4468]

Thanks so much Thomas and team! 💚

[@IvanNugraha07]

Big high five for bricks builder team.

[@isaurasotoca]

Amazing job Thomas & team ❤ Can’t wait to start testing it 😊

[@jfiosi]

Awwwwesome. Been waiting for this. ❤ the emphasis on accessibility. 👌👋

[@vaughanprint]

Happy New Year Thomas. As a new user I am enjoying the.flexibility of Bricks. I'm catching up via KZbin on all that is covered by yourself and others. A suggestion for the off canvas element. A fade or zom in would also be good where we could style the panel to appear like a pop up. Or, just have a variation on the same element and call it pop up? I know pop ups can be done via templates but sometimes adding in things like this are better within the workflow of the layout being worked on at the time.

[@JamesJosephFinn]

One bit of feedback: There should be an option to enable submenu on click instead of hover. In terms of UX, click nav is objectively superior to hover nav; the latter being jarring to users. I appreciate you immensely; please keep up the great work. Proud to be a member of the Bricks family.

[@bricksbuilder]

You can choose to toggle the dropdown content (sub menu) on hover, click or both. The setting is named "Toggle on" and located under the "Content" control group of the "Dropdown" element.

[@JamesJosephFinn]

@@bricksbuilder great! thank you!

[@airesdagraca78]

Awesome job Thomas.!!!

[@AlešSýkora-k8j]

Love this. Its sad to see what Oxygen did with their 3pieces of menu elements but not even one works like this. Great job.

[@BrendanOConnellWP]

thanks Thomas and team!

[@christianschneiderphoto]

And that’s the nail in the coffin for me to use any other builder. You have it all. Even afc flexible content. And at 1.8?! What will the future bring?

[@AmandaLucaseu]

Great job Thomas 👌

[@zensukai]

Great work Thomas and team -- you have gone above and beyond! =)

[@LupusDesign]

Thank you Thomas and Team Bricks! ❤

[@t.t.3627]

best builder on earth. its easy like elementor and deep like oxygen. ;)

[@keviincosmos]

It was great! Can't wait to play with the beta 👏👏

[@Defcon1702]

That looks awesome Thomas! Looking forward to the final!

[@tavusion]

Thank you so much. You guys did it in the best way.

[@anaf4072]

You had me at "accessible" :)

Absolutely stunning. Thanks Thomas!!!

[@Xesca31]

Well done !

[@Mia_Bella420]

So i have to choose if i want to see the logo when the menu is closed or when the menu is opened?

[@suppien]

Finally😍

[@hosseinkhanmohammadi4770]

Hi. Thank you. So powerfull. 🎉

[@wingtracer]

It seems the off canvas element width doesn't update on the front end no matter what I do in the backend. 1.8.1-classes version. Shows 80% or 80vw in the editor just fine, but not on front end. And even when I apply my own class to it, nothing. Anything you can think of? Reply

[@theplaintech]

Looking ahead: Personally, the features I would like the most (from 'Planned') are, Element Back to Top (because it's easy and it would be great to not have to add yet another plugin), Radial Gradients, Custom Shape Dividers, Global Class Manager.

[@Rollclick]

You don’t need a plugin for this. All you need to do is create the element and make it Static and then position it at the bottom right.

[@theplaintech]

@@Rollclick I have a plugin so the back to top has a fixed position through scrolling down the page is it is not necessary to go to the bottom to skip to top. A button in the footer isn't actually that helpful for a long page.

[@Life.Reimagined]

Inspect the css of that plugin and you’ll understand what rollclick is trying to teach you

[@theplaintech]

@@Life.Reimagined Or... I can continue to use the plugin and wait for Bricks Builder. Next up: BricksExtras which provides skip to top and breadcrumbs. I'd like breadcrumbs too.

[@jackreeves3558]

@@theplaintech ok man. you do you!

[@itevensystems8860]

Hi. It's very welcome addition, thanks for including menu building functionality. When do you expect to include full WPML functionality&Support?😊

[@Jornes83]

Finally! Haha!🥰

[@BGdev305]

Whenver doing videos like this that are 30 mins long like this one.. do us all a favor and use chapters please

Done 🙌

Thank you so muchhhhhhh

[@TheKoppi99]

OMG! SOOO NICE!

[@kareem2928]

WOW!😍

[@leckomio8812]

Please show some love to the Woocommerce people. More or should I say add design features like that for the Woocommerce elements. Anyway good take on that menu features. I guess the offcanvas can be used to build a custom side cart?

[@sinanisler1]

nice

[@Starrsmyles]

❤❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Fantastic!!

[@GTAbahtroomInstallers]

is this for a developer / coder to understand this or am I really dumb?

[@bob-p7x6j]

ha ha, I am new also, look at WP Tuts, Kevin Geary, Dave Foy, Aperture Digital Marketing, BrendanOConell, Mark Szymanski, Edan Ben-Atar, BricksMaven.... these are all great teachers... hope it helps... and if you are looking for great CSS lessons Slaying the Dragon is a good channel...

2600 Views within not even a day =) Like not even 2 years ago, I was so desperate to find some videos about bricks, and now this one =)

[@ColouringStix]

2500 of them from the Breakdance team 😂

[@wuguo2020]

The default menu is too ugly and difficult to edit for beginners. It is suggested to add templates, especially the template styles of the mobile port.

[@ElementoryMyDearWatson]

How do you make the close toggle button change to an 'X' ?

[@bricksbuilder]

Set the "Toggle" element "Animation" to "boring" will animate the toggle accordingly from the hamburger bars to an "x" (close) button. If you want to show a close icon inside the default mobile menu, then you'd have to select a different "Icon" for this "Toggle" element.

[@ElementoryMyDearWatson]

So what people would expect to see is considered 'boring'? @@bricksbuilder

[@bricksbuilder]

@@ElementoryMyDearWatson Agreed, not very intuitive. We'll rename it to "close (x)" in the final 1.8. Thank you so much helping improve Bricks :)

[@Demonstration7]

With this new features Now bricks builder complete with 90%

[@ThierryC-te3rx]

What would be your next 10% ?

[@Demonstration7]

​@@ThierryC-te3rx The features which one are not in another page builder. I'm just thinking about new features. I will describe later

[@web_gonza]

I really didn't understand anything from the video. Undoubtedly, the breakdance megamenu is much better.

[@ElementoryMyDearWatson]

Thanks i was hoping it wasn't just me

[@bricksbuilder]

Sorry to hear that. Maybe the Academy article can help explain the menu builder better: academy.bricksbuilder.io/article/menu-builder/ Which part of the Bricks mega menu do you feel is currently lacking? As it should give you 100% styling freedom.

[@DaBo1]

this are useless. you instead you should create from scratch, instead showing ready made and explained what you done not how you done. you are confusing ''what'' with ''how''. ''how'' is about how you are doing, not what you are doing or what you done. better to do from scratch and explain on each step if you want to overwhelm, because on the way problem appear so people will get stuck into some obstacles. best is simple and do from scratch with no complicated and too much explanations (which are in purpose to overwhelm, what don't need is not important to know.) and as well could be better to offer to copy and download the template so will simplify way better the life of people
