[Support request] Best Practice: custom content elements

[Christian]

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 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 ?
