Latest Beta: No Dynamic Content In Templates & Other Template Issues

I've created a number of Brizy Templates for post types & custom post types in the released version of Brizy/Pro. However, in the latest Brizy/Pro version it is no longer possible to add dynamic content. When trying to add a dynamic hash tag the Brizy builder just displays "no matches found" instead of showing the available dynamic content tags.

 

Also, If I try adding Includes or Exclude "Display Conditions" a warning appears at the top of the page when saving: "The rule is already used."

 

Additionally, if I try deleting a Display Condition it appears to work as expected except when you reload the page the "deleted" display condition returns.

  Hi Phill,

  Thank you for your message and made tests. I have the beta versions for Brizy Free and Pro too and I could find the problem you mention with Include/Exclude conditions. When I delete one condition and when I try to add another one or the same condition I receive the message that this rule is already set to another template, even if I don't have other templates. I will report this problem to our team and they will fix this inconvenience as soon as possible. Thanks!
  If I delete the display condition and don't make an "Update" - yes, in this case, will return the previous condition you add, but if you update the template from "Edit", then the template will no have any display condition.

  Regarding the dynamic content inside the template - could you please give more details? I tried to reproduce this problem but I could not find it. See this screen record https://jumpshare.com/v/HOvIk3N5xXxcqHgdQiKz

  Thanks!

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Hi,

   

  So for the dynamic content... I am specifically talking about using dynamic content inside Brizy Templates. I’ve not tested Dynamic content on pages / post, since I’ve not checked this with the Beta.

   

  However, on the Brizy templates I was able to add Dynamic Content without any problems on the release versions of Brizy. With Brizy Beta, I cannot add Dynamic Content even on templates that already have existing dynamic content. It doesn’t work on new templates either, see the video:

  Thanks

  Could you show me what you mean? I really need to remove some of the Display conditions but they just keep coming back.

   

  Thanks

  So for the dynamic content... I am specifically talking about using dynamic content inside Brizy Templates. I’ve not tested Dynamic content on pages / post, since I’ve not checked this with the Beta. - the screen record I made for you where I showed you that I can't reproduce the problem was made in a Brizy template. If you will check the URL address (from the screen record) you will find the .../brizy-template/... Also, I opened another Brizy template for Posts and I receive the same result. https://jmp.sh/cpzYw5W What display condition do you have set for the template you showed in the video?

  Regarding this If I delete the display condition and don't make an "Update" - yes, in this case, will return the previous condition you add, but if you update the template from "Edit", then the template will no have any display condition. - Yes here is the video https://jmp.sh/i2I41jA

  Actually it seems that I have no Dynamic content anywhere on my site now. I cannot add Dynamic content tags and existing tags just render as the tag on the frontend rather than the Dynamic content it represents.

  Could you please check if you have activated the Brizy Pro plugin too? If you have the beta version of Brizy Free, I would recommend installing the Brizy Pro beta version too.

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Ok,

  For some reason the Pro beta had become deactivated. It's active again and now I am seeing the Dynamic Content working again across the site.

  As for the display conditions on templates I followed your screencast and noticed that I could only delete conditions if I deleted ALL the conditions before saving. Otherwise the "already exists" issue warning would show and all the conditions would return. However, by deleting them all, saving the page, then re-adding a single display condition I was able to get that condition to stick without the "rule already exists" error.

  There is evidently some strange underlying issue(s) that need looking into, but for now at least I have a workaround that does the job as a temporary measure.

  Thanks for your help and the videos really helped clarify things.
