Add text from an external doc

Hi everyone, is there a way to insert a list into Blocs from an external text file?

These are concert dates, so I’d like to know if there’s a way to update the list without manually editing the text lines each time, but rather by editing the text file that links to a specific bric…

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

HI @Gfm

Welcome to Blocs and I have done a couple websites where I have performers who want to add dates of either dates they have public shows or dates of wedding showcase events.

I do this via the Brilliant VOLT CMS which is a one off payment, but you can expand this by have a Blog and more areas to edit if need be. It works seamlessly and the developer is on here (@Jannis ) who is brilliant at helping and quick too which is a huge bonus. But what you’re looking for is pretty easy to apply.

Goodluck

Not downplaying Volt CMS or its extensive features, but for this alternatively it would only require a trivial amount of JS to fetch and build a list from a text file. So maybe Norm can whip up a little Bric or add something via Custom Interactions for a simple Blocs approach. Blocs preview uses a local server so it should work fine both locally and online when developing.
