  • In Bricks 1.8 we got a new nav menu builder, with tons more flexibility to build any kind of menu you like, including mobile menu, multilevel menus, and mega menus.
    But if you thought the old Nav Menu element had had its day.... you'd be wrong!
    It's still here, it's also got some sweet new features, and in many situations the OLD way could be better than the shiny new way.
    After this video, I give you 5 good reasons when to use the OLD nav menu builder vs the shiny new one.

    Great content as always Dave, glad to see you back on CZcams. It's useful to know that we have the choice of older or newer nav menus in Bricks, plus when and why to use either.

    • @DaveFoy

      Yep, I don't think the Bricks team made as big a deal of this as they should.

    You're a tutorial master. Bricks should bring you on as their official "Bricks Evangelist". I think that would be the best brand building move they could make, real talk.

    Nice work, Dave! Also, very nice touch with your interactions for the content as you're discussing it. I know how much extra planning and editing that takes to pull it off and make it look good, and you nailed it! That definitely helps elevate the showmanship of your lessons compared to simple screensharing of the process. 👍

    Great explanation! Bricks has made this pretty convoluted, though. But on the flip side, it gives you a lot of flexibility to create menus.

    • @DaveFoy
      @DaveFoy  Před rokem +1

      Yeah, it does seem pretty convoluted, at least at first. I imagine the conversation going something like this:
      Bricks users: We want a menu builder that's as flexible as possible.
      Bricks devs: Sure thing, here you go.
      Bricks users: No, no that flexible. 😆

    This is a Trance video 🙂
    Starting by 04:14h there is mirroring sound in the background when the screen is shared. This makes listening very hard. Mainly when watching this video with good earphones, it puts you in a trance, because the brain tries to follow both voices at the same time. As this background noice is not a dedicated channel in the recording, it can not be removed. Just the video should have been recorded from that point from scratch.
    And secondly the explanation of why using old and new navigation elements in BricksBuilder is very highlevel and more general, not in detail. It is a nice video to get a first explaining, if you want/should use old vs new, but not realy more.

    • @DaveFoy
      @DaveFoy  Před rokem

      Oh my! I hadn't heard that even during editing. And I've made literally 1000s of tutorial videos over the years! I can see why this mistake happened now too.
      Urgh. Sorry about that. Shame CZcams doesn't allow replacing a video.
      And yes, this video is meant to be high level , that's the point. Thanks @joachimauster.

    I think menu builder is brainfart from devs. They should stick with WP ecosystem instead of building something on top of it.

    • @DaveFoy
      @DaveFoy  Před 7 měsíci

      Yeah it's not had a brilliant response from the community. I see where they're coming from, giving us ultimate control over every aspect of the menu. But I'm still finding the original Nav Menu most useful practically.
