Installation

Composer installations

composer require friendsoftypo3/content-blocks

Classic mode

Activate the Content Blocks extension in the Extension Manager.

Security

In classic mode it is important to deny access to the Content Blocks folder by the webserver. For this a small adjustment to the standard TYPO3 .htaccess file in the section "Access block for folders" is needed:

.htaccess.diff

-RewriteRule (?:typo3conf/ext|typo3/sysext|typo3/ext)/[^/]+/(?:Configuration|Resources/Private|Tests?|Documentation|docs?)/ - [F]
+RewriteRule (?:typo3conf/ext|typo3/sysext|typo3/ext)/[^/]+/(?:Configuration|ContentBlocks|Resources/Private|Tests?|Documentation|docs?)/ - [F]

nginx configuration

-location ~ (?:typo3conf/ext|typo3/sysext|typo3/ext)/[^/]+/(?:Configuration|Resources/Private|Tests?|Documentation|docs?)/ {
+location ~ (?:typo3conf/ext|typo3/sysext|typo3/ext)/[^/]+/(?:Configuration|ContentBlocks|Resources/Private|Tests?|Documentation|docs?)/ {
     deny all;
 }
