Greeting

I wonder how can I copy-clone plugins on Visual Composer.

What I want to do is this look instead big grid with the help of plugins for visual composer.

Big grid

So I wont to duplicate addons “Block 14” and “Block 15” so you can change css (mainly the height and width of the image) that can make the look you want this instead of big grid.

Can you help me do this

Have you installed and tested the plugin/extension for Visual Composer you want to use?

Yes, I use them already, and that is why I need them duplicated that i can make the desired look. I asked for support to help me make this look for the big grid, however, refused to me.

My goal is that with the help of “Block 14” and “Block 15” make such a big grid.

I think that is going to be quite complicated since you’d also need to setup the thumbnail sizes.

I think you can create your own custom Visual Composer layouts, but that is not part of the theme and might be addressed to VC support as modifying Visual Composer layouts is related to the plugin and not the theme directly.

So you can EDIT the code to create your own block from scratch (support can’t do that for you) …

basically you would create your own code, shortcode, and then add the custom shortcode to the system …

there are some mentions of this in the forum for newspaper and newsmag such as this which might give you starting point:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/visual-composer-how-to-add-custom-moduleblock/

But generally you need to wait until support has a free moment to help you “hack” the theme outside of normal support and how it was designed. Hacking the theme isn’t normal support, but as available support, so please allow them a little time to figure out whether what you’re asking is doable or not without breaking the theme.

Do you know how to create the new shortcode, new VC code, and ready to create new thumbnail sizes and put that in functions files, etc.? It’s not a simple answer.

So, if you do have the edited code already to go which you’ve built, just hang on a bit and they will get back to you as soon as they can 🙂

Chris S bro, you responded to me as a politician.

You have said everything, but nothing 😀

We’ll wait for support to get back to me after 48 hours of waiting …

The question is simple, let’s not complicate the answer 🙂

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, the block files are located in the includes/shortcodes folder – http://screencast.com/t/yve6G8Hjt
The modules files inside includes/modules – http://screencast.com/t/L3UzAvWvFs
You have to look at the current code structure inside the Big Grid files and modify it the way you like – http://screencast.com/t/VjelAp3IER , there’s a function that determines what images are brought into the page – http://screencast.com/t/jaPCGFL6 you can start with it and the modify the rest of the elements. Ultimately you have to rewrite the css.
It’s not an easy task, you basically have solid html/php/css knowledge.

Our support doesn’t include custom modifications, we can only provide guidance, help for theme related issues and eventually solutions on smaller modifications, sorry.

Thank you, Emil G.
