regarding this post, since no one responded to me, do you happen to know how to initialize the lightbox?

How to perform template injection in ajax?

Browser: alla OS: macOS / Windows / Linux / etc. I’m having a bit of trouble starting section templates dynamically in ajax. I’ll explain: I’m trying to load the sections of my site with ajax : homepage, about us, portfolio etc., which I transformed into section templates. To simplify, in my structure I have a container with 2 internal divs at 50% of the width: in the one on the left there is the menu where by clicking on the items I recall the section templates in ajax. Now everything is …

I’m trying to load some bricks templates in ajax. No problem loading, just that it doesn’t carry the element’s scripts and css with it. For example, if I load a saved template that contains a gallery in which I have selected the lightbox option, this does not work. I tried to load the css and js separately and all I succeeded was that the lightbox needs to be reinitialized… does anyone know the command to initialize the lightbox? should be lightbox.init(); but I can’t find it anywhere in the bricks files…

I am also trying to get some guidance from this Bricks forum regarding Lightbox. No replies at all after 9+ days … none. It is looking like if you are not already a WordPress coding expert … we are on our own as Bricks Builder users. No hints … not a single reply.

Seems like Reddit WP forum is once again the only effective Bricks Builder support available.

I have not found a comprehensive Bricks Builder users manual. Just a bunch of overview “tutorial videos” in which everything works perfectly, every time for the few features covered anyway. The “Bricks Forum” has a higher percentage of “no-replies” posts than any forum on a software topic I’ve yet seen. Go check it out for yourself. Daunting for new Bricks Builder users.

I have no doubt that Bricks Builder is a fantastic WP tool for current WP and HTML coding experts. The reviews, posted by experts are great. Have no reason to doubt them. However, anyone new-ish to WP or Bricks, like myself should abandon any hope of help from (non-existent) Bricks documentation or the Bricks Forum community. We should apply our time instead learning WP coding from the ground up. The majority of answered questions on the Bricks Forum are highly technical, code line specific posts that Bricks devs likely find intrinsically interesting.

There are no comprehensive Bricks Builder manuals, … no published books except one old eBook 129 pages in length. Search Amazon Books for “Wordpress Bricks Builder” and peruse the short list of Legos books, construction handbooks for clay bricks … zero results for Bricks Builder. Search for WordPress books, then let the avalanche wash over you. On YouTube there are myriad reviews of Bricks Builder and both short and long format tutorials. The problem is the YouTube algorithm rewards broad but inch deep topic coverage. Most everything presented works perfectly and parrots the sales material from Bricks Devs. This obviously is problematic for a real world use case.

Bet there is more user helpful info on the Bricks Builder investor relations web pages. I’m an SEC qualified angel and have participated in a series A financing round thru a prorata, so at least I could gather useful info from those webpages. If the original VC’s on the Bricks board have already scored their equity event and moved on, then development investment into Bricks is predicted to level off.
