If I apply a radius to a background image via custom class it shows in edit and in preview, however if I also apply parallax to that background the radius curves are lost in preview.

In using 5.2.4 it appears that when you select parallax, in the markup change, Blocs doesn’t include any classes you have added to the parallax element.

For now, you can add the radius to a class called .parallax__container

Blocs is able to import CLR files from Color Slurp but appears to have problems importing CLR files from other sources, such as ChatGPT or even XML files exported to CLR using a text editor. I wonder if the import facility could be broadened to deal with these kinds of scenarios.

I would like to see bug fixes and some needed improvements in Blocs Plus Wordpress features:

  • query loop sorting (order and orderby)

  • fix so that the global color palette actually works in an exported Wordpress theme. Currently only the background color can be changed in the exported theme.

-in the Brics development, to add the ability to specify PHP code to be added to the functions.php and extra-functions.php

I post more sometime soon.

Any updates or love for the AI Assistant coming?

  1. Supporting the latest models, and maybe others like Claude (Anthropic). Claude is actually pretty good.
  2. Fixing that issue with the Assistant reporting back it had completed a task, but nothing happened? (Blocs is not unique here, so I am not sure if this is just an inherent issue with the models right now? But it wastes our tokens)

Wishlist:

  1. Ability to add a project brief prompt. So the AI has a reference for content.
  2. Save learned tasks, that are accessible between projects.
  3. Assistant Wizard on launch, that you can use to predefine a layout to get you started.

With Gutenberg and FSE becoming the future of Wordpress, being able to build custom blocks and FSE themes is going to be a must have.

HI @Norm,

Would it be possible in the brics development to add a code editor we could add PHP code, which in turn would be added to the extra-functions.php in Wordpress? Alternatively, to have a setting were a specific PHP file included in the bric project, would be appended to the extra-function.php file?

This ability would facilitate 3rd party developers to create brics that could extend Wordpress. A have some ideas, but I would need something like that to make them work.

Cheers,
Ricardo

Sometimes I find myself with a class in the classes window and I want to add another class, so I start typing and quickly discover the window isn’t wide enough to even see what I am typing. It’s bad enough that class names often cannot be read without hovering over them to see tooltips, but not even being able to see them as they are being typed is super frustrating.

Are you able to share an example CLR file that you cant install?

How are your generating these problematic CLR files and can you confirm they are correctly formatted/converted ?

I’ve sent you a PM with some files and background explainer.
