No you have as many custom blocks as you like.

These are the steps to get one (or more):

1) Open pagelayout and add the names you like for your custom blocks. Seperate names by space - system will do the rest.

2) Open all templates wherein this pagelayout is used - you see additional fields for editing - there you can insert additional html code for each block - will be used only when block has content. Save your template 1x - only then custom block will be listed when editing a content part. Remember: custom block belongs to pagelayout to template by category/level.

ah - now I know for what this is

is it right that then I have to enter the Name of the Block like {myName}

btw to OG it would be nice when you give us a new Snapshot of the System - I'm realy a little bit confused with all tha Patches I found in the last Days here in the Forum and I don't know wich one I have done at what time

Correct: {myName}

new Snapshot of the System

In preparation.

This DEV is simply incredible !!!!
I simply enjoy all of it !!!
Great job Oliver !!!

I am testing and testing...
I have been able to create Custom Blocks and I see these in the Content Parts.

My question now is:
Is it possible to have Custom Blocks to show all through the site. For testing I only use ONE Page Layout and ONE template. Would be like sort of being associated to all Categories....?
I figured I would create an Extra Site Structure, where I would have all the blocks in there that need to be manage... not sure if that makes sense or if my english is good enough...?

Cheers,

Yves

This is planned for integration - haven't been worked out in detail. At the moment I would recommend the use of hidden category - with total empty template - no header/no footer - custom block style and usage of {URL:...}

I created a Custom Block that I named "UN"
So... I use this {UN} and all is OK

but... is there a possibility to use this replacement tag {UN}, in conjonction with something like... calling a specific Content Part like this: {UN 21} or {UN:21} ... ?

Thanks,

Yves

Sorry, not at the moment - rendering of content parts needs to be made more flexible for using this.

I'm working on this.

Sorry Oliver we crossed posted

Thank you for your reply!
The only part I don't understand in your answer is the "... usage of {URL:...}"
???

Thanks,

There is a replacement tag {URL:...} where a complete page can be integrated as part of your "normal" content. {URL:...} returns just everything between <body></body> tag. All relative paths are replaced by absolute paths - it's kinda proxy script.

Try this anywhere in your site - maybe with content part "plain text":

Code: Select all

{URL:http://www.google.com}

If you just create a template that returns "real" content only - like a blank page with {CONTENT} you have something like block anywhere.

The map and info on the left (under navigation) are used in such a way.

Content Everywhere/Anywhere is Real !!!!
This is an Awesome explanation Oliver!
Thank you so much for your time and sorry for waisting your time on this one

I should had deducted this one myself.

Hope it will help serve others as well.

With all my respect,

Yves

Figured I would at least... let you know that your TIP above, here,
really made my day

This is a real working workaround, showing "One more time for the World".... how much flexible is PhpWCMS

Cool !!!
