Feature Requests / Improvements
1

Overview

Add AJAX functionality to Bricks Builder conditions so they work even with server or page caching is used. The feature will refresh or update specific individual block/s with conditions on page load or DOM load so conditioned blocks don’t show outdated or incorrect results especially for geo-based conditions. This will put Bricks Builder ahead of the game in solving cache related condition issues.

Details

  1. AJAX Conditions

  • Add “Enable AJAX Update” option for conditions.

  • When enabled, the condition will:

  • Make an AJAX request to refresh or update the condition before showing content to the user.

  • Dynamically check the user’s state, e.g. location or session, and return updated values.

Example Use Case:

  • Geo-conditions fetch and show location-specific content without being affected by caching.
  1. Caching Issues Solved

  • Conditions won’t get “stuck” or outdated due to server or page cache.

  • Up-to-date content will be displayed for conditions that rely on dynamic data.

  1. How to Implement (idea or suggestion, possible better methods)

  • Use AJAX, localStorage and cookies for managing and syncing conditions:

  • localStorage: Stores user-specific data (e.g. user type, preferences) on the client side for fast access.

  • Cookies: Makes user-specific data available to PHP for server-side processing.

  • AJAX Sync: Synchronizes client and server in real-time, so conditions are up-to-date.

  • Use existing AJAX handling methods, same as in Bricks Builder pop-up.

Benefits

  • More Accurate: Dynamic and real-time condition updates, no more caching errors.

  • Better User Experience: Show content relevant to the user’s context.

  • Unique Selling Point: Bricks Builder will be the first page builder to solve cache related condition issues.
