Swiss Knife for Bricks Builder is a successor of Swiss Knife Oxygen which is one of the most popular workfow engancer addon for Oxygen Builder developed by the same DPlugins team.
This Bricks addon also allows for the copying and pasting of classes, as well as multi-select and multi-edit elements, which is especially useful when dealing with utility classes.
The Scripts Manager feature enables the easy registration and enqueuing of scripts and styles, including the use of CDN or self-hosted libraries.
With Winden Integration, it offers seamless integration of Tailwind CSS for Bricks WordPress Builder, making it a real-time saver for those working with utility styling.
Swiss Knife Bricks is a valuable investment for any website creator that uses Bricks Builder and is looking to enhance their workflow and streamline the website-building process.
If you’re a WordPress user, you know how important it is to have a seamless workflow. That’s where Swiss Knife Bricks comes in.
With its powerful features, this Bricks Builder addon can make your website development process faster and more efficient. In this section, we’ll dive into the main features of Swiss Knife and see how it can enhance your workflow.
The Paste HTML to Create Bricks Builder Elements is a game-changing feature that allows you to create Bricks Builder static elements by copying and pasting HTML code from your favorite editor, browser, or clipboard.
With just a few clicks, you can create an entire website page or template. To enable this feature, simply check Paste HTML and save changes.
Before using this feature, make sure that the website is HTTPS and if you are pasting inline SVG elements, enable “Code Execution” in Bricks Builder.
To use this feature, copy the HTML code from the code editor, browser, or clipboard and then right-click and select Paste HTML or click the “Down Arrow inside Clipboard” icon in the top bar.
All HTML elements such as h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, links, buttons, div, span, and images will be converted to Bricks Builder elements.
However, inline SVG will be added as a code block as it is the closest that Bricks has at the moment. Classes will be attached to the elements but class values will not be converted as they are converted into Bricks and attached to the elements.
When using this feature for the first time or on a new website, a dialog box will prompt you to allow clipboard access. Allow this feature, or else you will not be able to use it. This feature is a time-saver and will make your workflow more efficient by creating entire pages or templates with just a few clicks.
Swiss Knife Bricks offers a convenient feature called “Write HTML” that lets you quickly write your HTML structure inside the Bricks editor. Simply enable the feature, and you can start typing your HTML code.
When you hit insert, the HTML automatically converts into Bricks Builder static elements, just like the “Paste HTML” feature. This feature is enabled through the same Clipboard function, and you can find the “Code inside Clipboard” icon in the Bricks Topbar.
Clicking on it will open a code editor with an overlay popup where you can write your HTML. It’s a great option for those who prefer to write code directly in the editor rather than copying and pasting it from another source.
Swiss Knife Bricks offers a handy feature that allows users to easily copy and paste CSS classes from one element to another. This feature is particularly useful for those working with utility frameworks or who have already added content and need to apply the same styling to other elements.
To use this feature, users simply need to enable it in the settings and then right-click on the element they want to copy classes from and select the “Copy Bricks Classes” option. They can then right-click on the element they want to paste the classes to and select the “Paste Bricks Classes” option.
This can be done from either the canvas or the structure tree. Users can repeat this action until they have copied all the styles they need or cleared the clipboard data. It’s important to note that this feature requires the website to be on HTTPS and uses the clipboard feature available in Chrome.
Multi-Select & Multi-Edit Elements is a feature that allows you to select multiple elements at once and apply changes to all of them simultaneously. To activate this feature, you need to check the “Enable Multi-Select” option.
Once activated, you can hold the Shift key and click on multiple elements inside the Bricks Structure panel. This feature is helpful when you want to apply multiple classes to multiple elements or change the styles of several elements at once.
After selecting multiple elements, you can perform various actions on all of them simultaneously, such as editing their styles (layout, typography, background, etc.), attaching classes with Bricks Classes Manager or Plain Classes, or pasting classes to all selected elements at once.
Note that some actions such as deleting elements, wrapping all selected elements, and inserting elements to all selected elements will be available in future (1.1.0) versions and are not currently available.
This feature can save time and effort when you are working with large sets of elements and want to make bulk changes to their styles and classes.
Scripts Manager is a powerful feature in Swiss Knife Bricks that allows you to enqueue and register scripts and styles, whether you want to use a CDN or self-host your favorite framework or JavaScript library.
To activate this feature check the “Enable Scripts Manager” option. Once enabled, you can add a new script by navigating to Swiss Knife Bricks > Scripts Manager and clicking “+ Add New Script.”
You’ll need to give the script a unique and descriptive name and choose whether it’s a CSS file (.css) or a JavaScript file (.js) from the Script Type dropdown menu.
You can then choose where to send the script, either to the website header or footer (right before the closing body tag). For best practices, it’s recommended to send .css to the header and .js to the footer.
You can also choose whether to use the wp_register_script() function to register a new script with WordPress or the wp_enqueue_script() function to actually include a registered script in the site.
If you want to add the script or style on every page or post, use Enqueue Script. If you only want to add it to a specific page or post, use Register Script and paste wp_enqueue_script(‘script-name’); into the code block.
If you’re working with animations that move or hide elements, you can select the Frontend Only option to load styles and scripts only on the front end of the website and not inside the Bricks Builder.
You can either upload the file or paste a CDN link. If you want to host your scripts, you’ll need to enable the “Allow CSS/JS Uploads” option under Features > Activate Features > Scripts & Styles, which lets you use the WordPress media uploader to save scripts inside the media upload folder.
Winden Integration is a feature that seamlessly integrates Tailwind CSS with WordPress page builders and theme development directly on the server.
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that enables rapid and efficient styling of web pages. By integrating Winden with Swiss Knife Bricks, you can easily apply Tailwind CSS classes to Bricks Builder elements and styles without leaving the editor.
This feature saves you time and effort in editing utility styling, which can be a tedious job. With Winden Integration, you can quickly and easily create stylish web pages with Tailwind CSS and Swiss Knife Bricks.
The Plain Classes feature in Swiss Knife Bricks allows you to input plain classes directly into the Bricks Builder editor without needing to inject thousands of classes into the database for auto-complete.
This feature is disabled by default but can be enabled by checking the “Enable Plain Classes” option and saving changes.
With Plain Classes, you can easily write and edit classes as plain text, which is more convenient than using the non-editable Bricks Classes system. For example, to change the background from “bg-blue-100” to “bg-blue-300,” you only need to modify the number, rather than deleting and adding a new class.
Version 1.0 of Plain Classes includes Tailwind autocomplete, which can be enabled by going to Winden > General > Enable Autocomplete and saving changes. Autocomplete can then be regenerated, which will provide suggestions for class names based on a Winden JSON file.
