Static page in Fluent Community

Ioannis Glossopoulos There is little information on the FC add-ons site about that particular add-on. It just goes to a page to download it. Do you know if you can a custom page with Bricks and then integrate it into FC?

Bob you can join the community, the site is in progress. For more info Ross FCA 

Bob The Pages add-on is free so you can download and give it a go. It will give you the option to add static pages as a /page/ route - you can then add these to your menus as custom links. You build the page itself with the block editor but just make sure you only use fcom compatible blocks. Example:
https://fluentcommunityaddons.com/portal/page/hello-world

Ross FCA Awesome, thanks! I'm using Bricks Builder so would I be able to design the page in Bricks and it will render correctly with this?

Bob No unfortunately not. Nothing is compatible by default and I've only created a few blocks for gutenberg. Page builders comes with a ton of style sheets, javascript, custom classes etc which don't work with fcom.

Ross FCA Ah ok. Thanks.

Bob I actually have an integration I made specifically for bricks to resolve the issue with the builder and front end layout.

I will be releasing it soon in my plugin Plus for FluentCommunity.

I built this specifically because I use bricks and was unhappy with how poorly FCom worked with it.

Jeff Brigman Interesting. I saw that Bricks was supported in the 'theme compatibility' doc but good to know that it's not working too well.

Bob  very loosely supported. As is you can’t use the builder with their templates, you have to build then switch to it. There’s also a lot styling that gets stripped so a lot of things don’t display properly.

The integration I coded fixes all of this and removes the bricks header/footer from the builder since you’re not using it and puts an edit button on pages built with bricks when you’re logged in as an admin.

Jeff Brigman Let me know when you have more info and it's available. Thanks.

Jonathan Gwyer Hi sir,
I’ve tried using this feature, but I noticed an issue where the search in the header looks messy. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Raffless Antonio Beay you're using the FC Addons Global Search, I think?

You'll need to feed that back to Ross FCA but it looks like you need some CSS

Jonathan Gwyer Interesting! I'll check that out. Thanks.

Bob I use it a lot on https://buildyour.community/

Jonathan Gwyer So is your articles resource an example of you adding in a custom post type/blog into the FC wrapper?

Bob yes, Home, To Do List & Get Started are just normal pages, Articles is all posts. A couple more CPTs are planned for the future.

Jonathan Gwyer Awesome! I couldn't see getting started because I'm not part of the community. I just figured that the articles section were blog posts and not part of FC.

Bob you're welcome to join 😁

Jonathan Gwyer Thanks a lot. I’ll try it out, but I’m still a beginner
would you be able to help explain it? thank you

Raffless Antonio Beay if you send me the URL to your site, I'm happy to look and see if I can give you some CSS to make the search look better 😊
