Building Custom Brizy Blocks

Never Settle

I wanted to know if there was a way to build custom Brizy blocks like you can do with other page builders like Visual Composer? The use case would be building a custom post type that has custom taxonomies and we want to build a block/widget that pulls in that custom post type, has some settings like how we would display the grid of custom posts, filter by certain taxonomies, etc... 

In the end we simply want to be able to extend or build new blocks for Brizy that meet our custom needs.  Can we do that in the plugin code and pull it in through the WP theme?

  Hi,

  At the moment is possible to create custom blocks, save them, create Custom Post Type, Custom taxonomy and edit them in Brizy but isn't possible to add them in the list of Brizy predefined blocks & layouts https://jmp.sh/ba5Q3up. Also, it isn't possible to use them in non-Brizy pages. Now, the Brizy blocks, header, footer, layouts, pop-ups can be used only inside the Brizy pages.

  Thanks!

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Thank you, if that is possible do you have documentation on how to do? Also if we create custom blocks and can save them but they cannot show up in the Brizy predefined blocks - where would they show up so we can use them?

  Hi,

  I'm sorry, maybe I didn't express myself correctly. With "Custom blocks" I want to say, a block made from scratch by the user where he adds the elements and information he needs. It isn't a special type of blocks that can be saved or are saved in a special section. It is a classic block that user creates by himself. This I want to say.
  Therefore, if you want to store these simple and classic blocks, you can add them into the Saved blocks https://jmp.sh/Rx37WP5 and access them from Saved blocks https://jmp.sh/4ZTUIVn.

  Thanks!

  Best regards,
  Sandra

  Hi,

  Unfortunately, at the moment isn\t possible to create custom elements and add them in the Brizy elements list. we have added this feature in the Feature request list and our team know about it.

  Let us know if we can help you with something else.

  Best regards,
  Sandra
