custom view page

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I want to construct my own custom view page using Toolset code/HTML. How do I find the Toolset tags or shortcode to use with WP Bakery?

Solution:

Create dynamic Toolset parts using Toolset views and add the view to WP Bakery. Enable Toolset views via "Toolset > Settings > General," then access "Toolset > Views" to edit views. Avoid mixing WP Bakery and Toolset elements on the same page to prevent future compatibility issues.

Relevant Documentation:

- Toolset views integration with WP Bakery
- Enabling legacy version of Toolset views
- Using legacy views
- List of Toolset views shortcodes

Hi there,

It is recommended that you create the dynamic parts of the Toolset using Toolset views and then you can add the view to the WP Bakery.

https://toolset.com/course-lesson/using-toolset-with-wpbakery-page-builder/

To enable the Toolset views:

- Go to "Toolset > Settings > General".
- Find the "Editing experience" section.
- Check the "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build" checkbox.
- Reload the browser page.
- Go to the newly added "Toolset > Views" menu.
- There you will be able to edit the views.

For more information:

You can learn more on how to use the legacy views here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/

And finally here is the list of shortcodes that you can use:

If you have specific questions on each portion you are welcome to open up a new support ticket.

Thanks.

thank you for this reply! very informative. what does this mean? To avoid compatibility issues you shouldn’t mix WPBakery and Toolset elements on the same page. This will ensure that all the features keep working in the future.

maybe this is why my view was acting very buggy as I was trying to multitasking using both wpbakery and attempting to access toolset within wpbakery to edit/create a view as well wpbakery's editor to insert images and tables.

Hi there,

Yes you should not mix them. You need to use the legacy view method I mentioned in the previous reply to create the view within the Toolset environment and then you can use the view inside WP Bakery via shortcode.

All you need is there in the documentation.

Thanks.
