Bugs

Hi,

I followed this tutorial to create flexible content in Metabox: How to Create ACF Flexible Content Field with Meta Box - Meta Box

And created a single post template for a custom post type. But when I nestle the query loop to reach my content I get this error:

My setup in bricks builder looks like this:

Bumping since I haven’t got any help

not sure really, but one for @thomas @timmse to check into. Nested groups are a must and i have a couple of use cases that it will be required for

4

same here, metabox nested group don’t work

@thomas @timmse There have been 2 months without a word, can I expect an answer or do I need to turn somewhere else?

It probably just got missed. It’s a small team and while this issue may be huge to you, it is pretty minor in general. I’m sure they’ll look at it when they get a chance. No need to threaten.

Edit: Sorry if I struck a nerve, but I’m just being real. The developers will take a look when they’re able to.

I don’t know if I have the data to speculate on how huge or minor this bug is for the community in general but I have been waiting for two months. So I feel that when it comes to how I phrase this question, it’s justified and nowhere near “threatening” as you are trying to make it sound.

8

Suggesting you’ll go somewhere else if they don’t fix it sounds threatening to me. But to each their own I guess. Carry on. :man_shrugging:

You didn’t hit a nerve you just keep getting into things you have no idea about. So your little mansplaining show you started here is not something anyone is interested in and if that sounds harsh, it’s because it is. For some of us, time here is money.

Definition of threatening = “having a hostile or deliberately frightening quality or manner.” I have simply asked if I should seek an alternative solution to solve this from another source.

I get the feeling that you just sit in this forum and answer people to start disputes, cause you have not helped or made a single person’s life easier in this thread with your self-explaining comments. Perhaps you just enjoy trying to kick in doors that are already open.

And I have simply suggested you wait because the devs will get to it when they’re able. If you want more direct support, try help@bricksbuilder.io

Hi @frontend-dev, this one seems to have skipped our attention. Sorry about that. We are looking into it, and update this post as soon as we know more. But does it still occur for you when using the latest version of Bricks (1.5.3)?

Fantastic @thomas I do not get the error anymore but nothing is rendering. So I guess so

Hi Christoffer,
We’ve fixed this bug in Bricks 1.5.4, now available as a one-click update within your WordPress Dashboard.

Please let us know if you are still experiencing issues.

Best regards,

Hi, sorry for getting back to you super late, but it did not solve the problem. It just removed the error messages for me but all MB group data disappeared and now I can’t get any Metabox group data to show up in the builder, unfortunately. Maybe I have done something wrong but I’ve tried every possible setup with groups with no luck. I ended up leaving the MB group setup to get everything dynamic and just went with normal MB fields (static content) for now.

Hi Christoffer,
Would you be so kind as to send temporary login credentials and a link to this thread to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase?

Please create a demo for us and explain the issues in detail in the email.

Best regards,
timmse

Very interested in a solution. Nested groups are indispensable, especially if you have page elements such as content cards with several items. You want to create one group and make that cloneable for a good user experience.

Thanks for looking into this.

Is this solved? Can’t get it to work with Beta 1.6-2. No error but also no output.

As far as I can see, we haven’t received an email from @frontend-dev. If you do, please let me know @Christoffer.

@MichelyWeb Maybe you can provide us with more information and a test scenario?

Best regards,
timmse

Hey Michely, I am a bit confused:

What exactly are you using the inner group for in your example? The text and URL fields could just be children of the outer (clonable) group, couldn’t they?

Also you are using two nested queries in Bricks although you have only one clonable group – the outer one.

But yes, I see two issues here, @timmse:

  1. It seems like Meta Box group fields are always presented as an option in the query type dropdown even when they are not clonable. This shouldn’t be the case, should it?

  1. Let’s say you have a clonable group (to store locations). In there you have a text field (location title) and a (non clonable) group (location address) – this inner group is just there for organization purposes. In this location address group there are two text fields (zip and city).

With this setup in place it works to query the clonable (locations) group. It also works to get the location title within the clonable group. But it seems like it is not possible to get the text values from the (inner) group within the clonable group (ZIP and city).
