Registration¶

In order to register a new Content Block, a folder ContentBlocks has to be created on the root level inside a loaded extension. Depending on the Content Type you want to create, you place the new Content Block into a dedicated folder. These are named ContentElements, PageTypes and RecordTypes.

Content Blocks reside in the ContentBlocks folder of an extension

├── Classes
├── Configuration
├── ContentBlocks
│   ├── ContentElements
│   │   ├── block1
│   │   └── block2
│   ├── PageTypes
│   │   ├── block3
│   │   └── block4
│   └── RecordTypes
│       ├── block5
│       └── block6
├── Resources
└── composer.json

The system loads them automatically as soon as it finds any folder inside these directories, which has a file with the name EditorInterface.yaml inside. Refer to the YAML reference, on how to define this file.

Tip

Use the command make:content-block to quickly create a new Content Block.

Tip

You can copy and paste any Content Block from one project to another, and it will be automatically available.

Administration¶

Note

Make sure to add Content Blocks as a dependency in the host extension.

Attention

You will need to allow the generated database fields, tables (if using Collections) and CType in the backend user group permissions.
