1:15:54 Bricks does offer manual load more - You simply add a button at the base of and outside of your loop, then select internactions on that button → Trigger = Click, Action = Load more (Query loop), Query= the related query. Then finally under Layout > MISC > Cursor=Pointer

[@Gearyco]

Sweet. They should make that a facet to make it more clear.

[@Tom-pl4co]

@@Gearyco @maythe4thBwithU Agree. Bricks has had load more since the introductions of Interaction. One thing to note with pagination is that those pages which has pagination (like the homepage, archives, search or pages that are paged) will automatically generate page 2 etc even though you are using load more (ie if you type in the URL /cpt/page/2). They are also easy to find by Google since most SEO plugins auto insert link rel="next" so they can eventually end up being ranked. What I do is have a code snippet which just 404 any pagination pages.

If you dont learn anything from this then thats on you, but Jesus its one helluva of way to learn with entertainment thrown in too

Missed the live stream but caught up on replay. Great ending topic/discussion. Happy Birthday!

[@mannhans703]

Have not watched this tutorial to the end yet. However, I did find a gem that is exactly what I was looking for. Kevin, you mentioned the col-count feature from ACSS. Just what I needed. Works brilliantly, expecially for breakpoint for tablets and mobile phone

[@derekshort]

Thank you for talking about social media agency services! I need to rethink whether I want to offer them or not. 🤔

[@eucalyptech]

Happy Birthday and thank you for this session 😉

[@LupusDesign]

Another super session!

[@emadhosen]

[@derekshort]

Happy birthday!

1:29:19 Some great stuff right here.

[@thorsten-roever]

thanks

[@jhonnatanr]

Great WDD Live! I missed the live stream but I'm catching up now. Quick question: Bricks on their documentation recommends using 'External Files' for CSS, and you mentioned the same in your blueprint video. Has anything changed?

[@Gearyco]

Yeah inline appears to be better

[@Perpetuallearner1]

Can bricks be used with chat gpt? Possible to make video on this for noobs?

[@copysamurai]

Can you not map bricks shortcuts to different keys manually? If not I feel like that's a missed opportunity

[@Gearyco]

Nope

[@JeffFinley]

Why does Bricks add custom classes like brxe-heading or brxe-text-basic to every element? Doesn't this bloat the code? Especially when it's repeated over and over and the classes don't have any styles associated with them.

[@Gearyco]

Most of them do have styles of some sort. Not always good ones though :/ it would be nice if they didn’t.

[@user-eo1vz9lt8g]

Is your free demo playground up an running yet or has that been shelved?

[@Gearyco]

It’s up and running for ACSS101 subscribers. If you are in the course, you can request a link.

[@user-eo1vz9lt8g]

@@Gearyco I am subscribed to this channel and ACSS and filled out my email on the ACSS website, and still haven't received anything...I tried again today and the email said the course will start on April 22nd....

[@Gearyco]

@@user-eo1vz9lt8g I just fixed the email text. The course is available on the ACSS channel. Go to playlists and select the acss 101 playlist.

[@user-eo1vz9lt8g]

@@Gearyco Thanks, I see the playlist, that's great, but there is no sandbox environment, just an email that says will get back to you, but no email came...

[@user-eo1vz9lt8g]

@@Gearyco I still haven't received anything about a sandbox, is there something else I need to be doing?
