MJC Designs AI Design Assistant for Bricks Builder

Changelog

1.1.3

• Alpha improvement · 2026-10-15 03:49:05 PHT
  • Drag and drop JPG, PNG, or WebP images onto the prompt area to attach a reference image, with clear drop feedback and the existing file checks.
  • Pretty-print object settings with their original keys, quoted string values, and indentation in the Page Elements inspector preview without changing the underlying design data.
  • Replace the three bouncing dots in the main loading modal with the animated MJC Designs AI logo for page loading, applying, undoing, and other busy actions.
  • Load the logo GIF when the modal opens and remove the unused three-dot modal animation styles.
  • Add a Custom viewport control to the expanded frontend preview with editable pixel width and height, without changing the regular preview viewport.
  • Continue the public alpha evaluation phase; suggestions may be incomplete, and bugs or unexpected results are still possible.

1.1.2

• Review fixes · Alpha · 2026-10-12 21:39:09 PHT
  • Migrate text generation to the WordPress AI Client and add a per-user provider/model selector backed by configured Connectors, with image-capability checks for reference uploads.
  • Restrict AI proposals to registered native Bricks controls; exclude code controls and reject _cssCustom instead of writing arbitrary CSS.
  • Use attached reference images only for their own request and remove remote placeholder-image instructions.
  • Rename the plugin branding to MJC Designs AI Design Assistant for Bricks Builder while retaining the brick-and-spark icon and updating its wordmark.
  • Update privacy and usage disclosures for provider-managed credentials, provider-specific costs, and data handling.
  • Add translator context for the AI provider error message placeholder reported by Plugin Check.
  • Simplify the AI model selector into a compact row and correct its width so it no longer crowds the prompt composer.
  • Move the assistant into a full-height left column, with the app header and workspace tools stacked in the right column.
  • Prefix admin pages, REST routes, asset handles, localized JavaScript data, PHP functions and constants, UI selectors, and new stored data with distinctive MJC Designs identifiers; keep old names only for cleanup of data from earlier alpha builds.
  • Restore tooltip text lookup after prefixing and render the tooltip layer at document level so it can extend beyond workspace clipping while staying within the viewport.
  • Normalize all packaged text files to LF line endings to prevent Plugin Check mixed-line-ending warnings.
  • Build preview viewport buttons from Bricks’ configured breakpoint labels and builder widths, including custom and paused breakpoints; refresh the list when the workspace loads or is refreshed.
  • Add a backdrop modal for the existing interactive frontend preview, with close, Escape, outside-click dismissal, focus handling, and the same breakpoint controls; preserve the separate Open preview action.
  • Pass Bricks controls’ registered required_when dependencies to the AI and validate changed control prerequisites against the final element settings, rejecting flex-direction values when the matching display is not flex or inline-flex.
  • Increase breakpoint and toolbar text sizes inside the expanded preview modal while retaining compact controls in the regular workspace preview.
  • Add a one-step Redo action paired with Undo; preserve stale-document checks and clear the redo snapshot when a new assistant change is applied.
  • Hide the redundant Expand preview action while the preview is already open in its modal.
  • Use the all-caps FRONTEND PREVIEW title in the expanded modal, center regular preview controls, and style Open preview to match the controls.
  • Show an accessible purple circular loading indicator over frontend preview iframes until the page loads, including the cache-busting retry.
  • Guide generation to use only available media references and never invent remote file URLs; remove the last Custom CSS fallback instruction.
  • Identify the plugin as an independent integration in its public description and align minimum-version messages with WordPress 7.0.
  • Clarify in the privacy documentation that provider requests go to the service configured in the selected WordPress Connector.
  • Display the full plugin name and a clear non-affiliation and non-endorsement statement throughout the plugin admin screens, including the main workspace and subpages; align the plugin header description with that wording.
  • Document the included human-readable JavaScript and CSS source files in the readme and clarify that the plugin uses them directly without a build step.
• Fix · Alpha · 2026-10-11 21:35:23 PHT
  • Normalize generated regular URL links to Bricks’ registered external link type so proposals and previews pass schema validation.
  • Give schema repair attempts direct instructions to remove rejected settings such as unsupported button presets and use only the element’s registered native controls for styling.
  • Clear WordPress post and metadata caches after creating a temporary Bricks preview so the frontend iframe sees newly written elements, including on initially empty pages.
  • Initialize and verify Bricks data on temporary previews for empty pages, then retry a blank frontend iframe once with a cache-busting URL.
  • Translate the common _flexDirection alias only when the target Bricks element registers an equivalent direction control, preventing invalid settings while preserving intended flex layouts.
  • Provide core registered element schemas for blank documents and tell the assistant to build from that schema context instead of refusing image-led or generic design requests.
  • Expose CSS properties and explicit-unit requirements in each live number-control schema, and clarify that dimensions such as full-width _width values must be returned as CSS strings such as “100%” even though the Bricks control type is number.
  • Require explicit units for nonzero CSS dimensions and spacing, validate them against the registered number-control units, and guide repair attempts to correct unitless size values.
  • Mark registered rendered-text controls in the AI schema, require concise placeholder copy for newly added headings, text blocks, and buttons, and retry proposals that leave those elements without rendered text.
  • Preview the current page from a fresh temporary Bricks snapshot on workspace load, after applying changes, and after undoing them, avoiding stale public-page caches in the frontend iframe.
  • Set the Bricks editor-mode metadata when AI writes elements to a blank or WordPress-mode page so frontend templates render the new Bricks content immediately.
  • Use the published page URL for the Current page tab instead of a temporary draft preview, avoiding not-found responses on published pages.
  • Treat each newly attached reference image as authoritative for its request, replace conflicting prior page visuals for replication requests, and prevent stale asynchronous image reads from overwriting a newer upload.
  • Make every parent with children in the Page Elements tree independently collapsible, with accessible expand/collapse controls that preserve the current tree state during redraws.
  • Show the elapsed AI proposal-generation time beneath each successful assistant response, excluding frontend preview preparation.
  • Normalize class-api.php line endings to remove the Plugin Check mixed-line-ending warning.
  • Number each update item in Version History so users can reference a version and a specific update line.
  • Add clear spacing between Version History update numbers and their text.
  • Run WordPress save hooks after Bricks applies or undoes metadata changes, updating the document modified time so page-cache integrations can invalidate cached frontend output.
  • Continue the public alpha evaluation phase; suggestions may be incomplete, and bugs or unexpected results are still possible.

  • Use solid primary-purple chat-bubble tooltips and place one info icon beside the Page Elements panel title instead of adding hints to individual rows.

  • Clarify dynamic Bricks validation placeholders for translation and Plugin Check.
