In Rapidweaver, I used to utilize “Partials” to edit various sections simultaneously. Occasionally, a client wants the same section on multiple pages, and when changes are needed for that specific section, I can simply open the “Partial” to make edits, which then update all instances across the website. Is there a similar feature in Blocs? I notice that the menu and footer can be linked throughout the website, but it seems there is no option to convert content sections into linked copies. I hope this clarifies my request; I thought it would be easier to explain in my mind! ![]()
Not currently, but you can use this workaround
I use Volt CMS for this. A great addition to Blocs. When needed, Janis is very helpful.
+1 for Volt being the option.
This has been a much requested feature over several major versions of Blocs… ![]()
It may happen one day, “global blocs”. BSS, Pinegrow and others handle this type of thing really well already.
I wanted to have different elements on each page. Using global headers and footers in these spots wasn’t an option. My approach is quite technical but still simple. the technique is similar to the one in the link above. PHP inserts the element before the page is rendered; JavaScript is loaded later. That’s why there’s no flickering.
- Create a page in the project named “template.php”
- Design the desired element on this page (in my case, a “row”). Very important: give the element an ID.
- In the project’s code editor, add a short PHP snippet that loads on every page (Project before Doctype) the template and assigns the DOM element with the specified ID to a variable.
- Then insert the variable wherever needed using the code widget.
Drawback: You can only see the design of the element on the template page; on other pages, it’s only visible in real time. The page types must be of type PHP
It also works with entire “blocs”
I believe with Volt CMS, if you name the editable bits the same they would all update together - even on different pages. @Jannis could clarify?
You can for text and images, just have the same id replicated. You can’t though have custom layouts and features using Brics.
I used 1LD’s Quick Editor. It looks the same! Good to know I can have basically the same solution on Blocs as well! thanks for letting me know about it!
Yes, this is it, now if Blocs could add a feature like this so we can have reusable assets that we can sprinkle throughout our websites AND if you edit it, it’s going to update everywhere.
Thanks BLOCS-Freak awesome work.
