Great video! Will you be using dynamic shortcodes in your workflow from now on instead of using the default ones and conditions in bricks? Don't they add any delay in the front-end? Besides being one more extra plugin to depend on...
According to the Dynamicooo team, Dynamic Shortcodes was coded efficiently, so it doesn't add any [noticeable] performance hit to your website. In my videos, I'll mostly be using Dynamic Shortcodes for features that aren't easily achieved with native Bricks DD.
@@daveden2 I already used your affiliate link. There is a 30 day refund policy, so plenty of time to play with the plugin to test it. If it improves my workflow, not having to write custom php functions so often, I will keep it. I would appreciate it if you showcased your most often uses of dynamic shortcodes.
Yes, it works well with the post query loop. However, the team has identified a minor bug when working with other query sources, and they are currently working on resolving it.
I am subscribed and you did tell us about the sale and I didn't take advantage of it because I didn't really understand the value of this product, quite new to website building,,, but in your own words, if you have time, what is the big advantage of this product over the native dynamic data with something like ACF or Pods? Is it that it is faster and easier to use or is it that there are many more uses than what native Bricks dynamic data can accomplish? Are you planning on using this plugin instead of the native functions now? If you are so inclined, you are very experienced and any insights you care to share may be helpful. Thanks, Have a nice day!
I believe that Bricks' native dynamic data tags are good enough for most jobs. However, Dynamic Shortcodes make handling dynamic data easier for me because I know the syntax very well. It's also handy for more complex situations because it works with all the major metafield plugins like ACF, Pods, Metabox and JetEngine. Before, I needed a code snippet to get some Author ACF meta fields with a dynamic fallback, but now Dynamic Shortcodes sorts it out for me. Also, I can easily add some inline dynamic conditions without needing multiple elements and the dynamic condition. For example, I set up a simple condition that says, if I edit a post within two days of publishing, it should still show the Post Date, but if I edit it after a week, then show the modified date. Another bonus is that I can use it in Gutenberg too. For example, I can easily show my affiliate links which I made as a CPT using JetEngine, right in my blog post. Since it's dynamic, when I change the links in the CPT, everything updates automatically. There are other perks too. But if you're happy writing PHP, you might not need it, especially now with AI around.
@@daveden2 Thanks for your explanation, and your time. I will mull this over and try to figure out if it is something I think I will need at a later date, it sounds like the LTD is for a limited amount of time by the blurb below the pricing...And, of course, I will use your link if I decide to purchase...Thanks again!
🤖 guy here, how easy (or not) would it be to just create simple echo functions? I’d imagine that the post example is pretty easy as it only needs to return the post object by keys etc. I am really on the fence in the recent month for all these additional plugins… I am just wondering what the half life of them is … my current feeling … rather short. But than again, when you need the functionality for a current build buy it, but I’ll refrain from buying it as shelfware.
Yeah, a lot of these things can be done using custom php and echo. One limitation, though, is that echo only works for the admin. Dynamic shortcodes can be used by editors as well.
Question: if i have multiple API endpoints (like if you can imagine diffrent feeds of news like Tech, Entertainment, Movies) an i want to display all the items in a tab element, each tab will display items from that endpoint. could i do this using multiple shortcodes?
Yes, I believe that should be fine. You can create multiple {api} shortcodes and use them on a page. For example, I used two TH-cam API shortcodes: one retrieves statistics like channel name and subscriber count, and the other displays my latest published TH-cam video.
Unfortunately, you can't use Dynamic Data in the Bricks CSS field. The best you can do is apply CSS variables, then use Attributes to add the Dynamic CSS variables.
@@daveden2 When you ran the promo did they have the LTD at that time? I remembered looking but thought there was no LTD??? Maybe I'm wrong....One more thing and bit of a beginner but would Dynamic ShortCodes be able to be used with Gutenbricks? Great content, by the way!
@@bob-p7x6j, yes, the LTD was re-introduced during the promo. Yes, Dynamic Shortcodes works both within Bricks and Gutenberg. So it also works well with Gutenbricks.

I always come back to this video to resolve my issues with dynamic shortcodes, thanks a lot !
Oh, nice! You're welcome.
You have so great advanced videos thank you Dave! This helped me a lot
You're welcome. I'm glad the video helped
This was truly amazing turorial.
Thanks!
I picked up the LTD. Lot of advanced features that go beyond the Bricks implementation. Glad it finally expanded to the builder.
Yeah. I was so happy when I heard about the integration.
Really interesting tutorial ! Not some superficial bs :p
Thank you!
Fantastic video my friend! Thank you so much for everything!

@@NassuKesso , oh awesome, thanks! I'll look into doing a video about that.
Nice video! Have you tested it with query loop too? thanks

@@daveden2 Thanks for your reply! Hope you will make a video about that topic too :) btw i will buy ltd with your link, cheers
@@fabiamc, thank you very much! I really appreciate it.
Yes, I'll make a video later using Dynamic Shortcodes and query loop.

Great tutorial, does it support Jetengine CCTs?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, Dynamic Shortcodes currently doesn't support data stored in custom tables like CCTs. But I hope they do so in the future.
