SleekView for Breakdance: dynamic data, templates & elements as tables
Read directly from the post types Breakdance registers (breakdance_template, breakdance_block, breakdance_form_res) and any post type designed against them. Sort, filter, and inline-edit without opening each page — and surface Breakdance meta as real columns.

Stop opening Breakdance templates one at a time
Breakdance keeps its design system in a handful of custom post types: breakdance_template for templates, breakdance_block for global blocks and headers/footers, breakdance_form_res for form submissions, plus any post type you design against (posts, pages, products, custom). The default admin lists them as flat post-type screens with title, author, date. SleekView reads them as a related set so you build columns that show what each template targets, which conditions it uses, and which post types reference which header. Sort by template type or filter by condition without leaving the list.
Breakdance writes its design tree to a single breakdance_data meta key as a structured payload. SleekView decodes the high-level parts useful for an audit — which custom-element types appear, which dynamic-data tags resolve where, which global blocks are referenced — so a content review can list every template still using a deprecated element or every post relying on a global block before you change it. On large installs it falls back gracefully when payloads are missing or partial, so the same view works across staging, prod, and templates imported from Breakdance Cloud.
Inline edits go through update_post_meta and the standard post-update path so Breakdance's caching invalidates and the next render picks up the change. Bulk-flip ten templates from "draft" to "published", or update assigned conditions across a batch of templates by editing the relevant column directly. The same applies to ACF and Meta Box fields used as dynamic-data sources, since Breakdance reads them through standard WordPress APIs and SleekView writes through the same.

Sample columns
A typical Breakdance templates view
breakdance_data meta so template type, conditions, and referenced global blocks become real columns.

| Title | Type | Conditions | Header | Footer | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default page | Page template | All pages | Main header | Main footer | Published |
| Single post | Single template | Posts — all | Main header | Main footer | Published |
| Product single | Single template | Products — all | Shop header | Main footer | Published |
| Archive — blog | Archive template | Post archive | Main header | Main footer | Published |
| Landing — spring | Page template | Pages — campaign | None | Main footer | Draft |
Comparison
Default Breakdance admin vs SleekView
Default Breakdance admin
- Templates, blocks, and forms each live on separate post-type screens with no joined view
- Conditions and assigned headers/footers require opening each template
- No filterable column showing which custom-element types or dynamic-data tags are in use
- Bulk-editing template status or assignments means clicking into each one
- Form submissions land in their own post type with limited inline visibility
SleekView
-
Read directly from
breakdance_template,breakdance_block, and target post types - Inline-edit template status and meta across many rows in one pass
-
Custom columns derived from
breakdance_datafor audit purposes - Save filtered views per role (e.g. "Templates using deprecated element")
- Switch between table and kanban views grouped by template type
Features
What SleekView gives you for Breakdance Builder
See templates and their conditions in one row
Build a view that lists every Breakdance template with its type, conditions, assigned header, and assigned footer as columns. Spot conflicts and gaps without opening each template's settings panel.
Inline-edit Breakdance meta in bulk
Flip template status, swap assigned headers, or update form-submission status right in the row. Bulk-update across dozens of templates in seconds, with Breakdance's caching invalidating through the standard hooks.
Filter by element usage or dynamic-data source
Combine template type, last-edited date, referenced global block, and audit columns derived from breakdance_data. Save the filter so your team reuses it across releases — no rebuilding it after each Breakdance update.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Breakdance
Template audits before migrations
Before deprecating a custom-element type or replacing a global block, list every template referencing it. Bulk-update or flag the laggards in one pass instead of opening each Breakdance template manually.
Form-submission triage
Surface breakdance_form_res entries with the form name, submitter email, and key custom-meta as columns. Filter by date or form, mark statuses inline, and export the filtered set without opening each entry.
Designer and content collaboration
Designers see template-level columns (type, conditions, blocks); editors see post-level columns for the post types those templates target. Each role gets the surface it needs without learning Breakdance's full admin.
The bigger picture
Why row-level Breakdance audits beat per-template clicks
Breakdance is a powerful design tool, which is exactly why long-running Breakdance sites get hard to govern. Templates accumulate, conditions overlap, custom-element types come and go, dynamic-data references multiply, and each one of those decisions is buried inside an individual template's settings panel. The default admin shows templates, blocks, and form submissions on separate post-type screens with title, author, date.
The breakdance_data meta that drives the design — and the conditions that say which posts each template applies to — are invisible at the list level. That works for a single landing page. It does not work for an agency rolling Breakdance out across multiple client sites, a business with dozens of templates targeting different product categories, or a content team chasing form submissions across multiple forms.
SleekView turns the same data into the workspace each team needs: designers see every template with its conditions and referenced blocks, editors see post-level views with the right Breakdance template assigned, ops triage form submissions inline. Same database, same hooks, dramatically less clicking through Breakdance settings.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Breakdance Builder
Breakdance stores its design tree in a single breakdance_data meta key as a structured payload. SleekView decodes the high-level parts (element types in use, referenced global blocks, dynamic-data tags) for audit columns rather than rendering every nested property. That's enough to build "every template using element X" or "every page referencing block Y" views without parsing the entire tree per row.
Yes. SleekView writes through update_post_meta and the standard post-update path, which is what Breakdance itself listens to for cache invalidation. Whatever caching Breakdance and any object-cache backend layer on top invalidates exactly as it would after a manual save. Bulk operations iterate the same path so side effects match per-template edits.
Yes. Form submissions are stored as the breakdance_form_res post type with submission data in postmeta. Point a SleekView at that post type and add columns for the form name, submitter email, submission date, and any custom-meta you collect. Filter by form or date and export the filtered set as CSV.
Yes. Breakdance reads ACF, Meta Box, and similar fields through standard WordPress APIs and stores references inside breakdance_data. SleekView reads the same fields directly when you add them as columns on the target post type, so your audit views show the actual values that dynamic-data tags resolve to.
Each table is one view, but views are switchable inside a single SleekView page. Build a tabbed setup with one tab per source — templates from breakdance_template, posts from post, products from product — so designers and editors see the relationship without leaving the screen.
No — Breakdance is for designing pages, SleekView is for governing them. The builder stays where it is for design work. SleekView gives ops, content, and audit teams the row-level admin views they actually need without disturbing the builder or rewriting workflows that already work.
 
Queries hit standard WordPress indexes on posts and postmeta. Filters and sorts use indexed columns where possible; the heavy breakdance_data column is only decoded when columns derived from it are part of the view, so default lists stay fast. Pagination uses keyset where the column set allows it.
Yes. Global blocks live in the breakdance_block post type. Point a SleekView at it to list every header, footer, and reusable block with columns for usage count, last edited, and assigned templates. Pair it with the templates view in a tabbed setup for a complete picture.
