Predefined blocks

Package Description

predefinedBlocks replaces the Content field with a block editor: heading, text and images, table, list, video, wrapper/accordion and chunk/snippet/HTML. Developers restyle each block with a Fenom template in the theme; the rendered HTML is saved into content, so search and teasers keep working.

Requires pdoTools 3. Not for templates that use ContentBlocks.

All blocks have been fully tested and are functional. We still have some features to add before it is pushed to the beta release.

Usage/Installation Instructions

1. Install pdoTools 3 first (required, block templates use Fenom).
2. Install predefinedBlocks and tick the templates that should use the block editor in the install form.
3. Choose the front-end styles: Plugin CSS (works without Bootstrap) or Bootstrap (your theme already loads Bootstrap 5.3).
4. Open a page with that template, click Add block and save.
5. To add your own sections, create custom block types: see Custom blocks in the documentation.
