Hello, wonderful Crocoblock community!
The spring is in full power, and it’s time to update you on what has been done during March: new releases, updates, cool articles, and videos.
Plugin Release
JetThemeCore 2.3.0
In the 2.3.0 release, we’ve introduced the new, enhanced Tree View in the Theme Builder.
Here are its main features:
✅ A new, user-friendly layout now displays the entire site hierarchy, including CPTs and default templates.
✅ Visual condition mapping. Each node represents a site area with an assigned base condition and shows whether any templates are assigned to it.
✅ Unassigned Templates section. Collects templates without assigned conditions for better organization.
✅ Advanced conditions. Added new URL parameters: Mobile OS, Mobile Browsers, and other options for more precise visibility control.
✅ It is fully compatible with nearly all WordPress themes and plugins, providing a more intuitive, flexible user experience.
This update makes template building more intuitive, structured, and flexible.
JetEngine 3.6.5
JetEngine also has new features for you.
✅ Repeater field sorting. Control how repeater queries are ordered for more structured content.
✅ Required relations. It prevents missing data by making adding related items mandatory if the corresponding toggle is activated.
✅ Twig macros in Dynamic Visibility. Select and use Twig macros directly within dynamic visibility settings.
✅ Set minimum number of characters for search in posts meta. Define how many characters users must type before searching the Posts meta fields.
✅ Display the distance between the user and custom map markers. Show the real-time distance between a user’s location and custom markers – perfect for location-based features.
✅ Scroll to the anchor on the map pop-ups. When opening a map listing pop-up, the page can now automatically scroll to the corresponding anchor.
These updates boost customization, refine data control, and streamline dynamic content management.
