Best Practice: custom content elements
4 replies · Started by Christian on August 15, 2022
Hi :-)
i want to create custom elements, which are easy to use for authors.
First i tried reusable blocks, but these are meant to be global, and if i change some text every element is checken also the template.
So i tried a Local Patterns. This works like a kickstarter, and then i change the insert content element, it has nothing more to do with the pattern. If i have to change something in the element, changes in the pattern are not done in the insert elements.
so, what is the best way/konzept making custom content elements, which can be changed after editing, by making the changes in the template?
thanks :-)
Hi Christian,
I’m not sure if there’s a plugin that has such a feature for a reusable block.
It might be good to ask in our GP Community for suggestions on which plugin has such a feature: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1113359788719597
Hi Fernando,
thx for the fb link, i get connected there.
and, what i want to know:
is there a way to make "custom content elements" with generate blocks?
at the moment i can see this clearly.
thx a lot
Hi there,
1. Create a set of Global Styles.
2. Create a Local pattern and apply the Global Styles.
Now there is a link between any locally imported pattern and the global styles.
Is that what you need ?
Hi David,
ok, i also thought about this solution.
I will try it this way.
thanks a lot :-)
