Block Element GBP Question
7 replies · Started by Marius on April 30, 2021
Hello,
in my opinion, GPP become more difficult with every release. Now with Version 2 i did not have a glue anymore, with block elements and stuff.
But maybe i get it in the near feature. My question is:
If I choose a Block Element and choose Content Template, I see there are afew templates, that came probably from Generate Block, right?
If I buy the GB Premium, are there more such templates in this place to choose? For example, will there be all the templates to import from this library https://library.generateblocks.com/content/ ?
Or do they have nothing to do with this?
Hi Sonja,

That's correct.
If I buy the GB Premium, are there more such templates in this place to choose? For example, will there be all the templates to import from this library https://library.generateblocks.com/content/ ?
Technically yes - you can import GB pro templates into block element. However, the GB pro templates won't be set up for dynamic content so you will have to do those manually.
We realize that the dynamic stuff is quite complicated so there are lots of resources in documentation and videos for you to learn from:

Hmm, okay. And will there come more templates to choose from in the list in Block Element type?
We will definitely consider it if we see some examples of nice designs.
We'd also like to avoid adding too many though as that will make the tool bar very long which isn't very user friendly sometimes.
okay. So that dynamic content thing is more a tool for developers and not for normal people like me.
But will it be not nice, too import all the designs from GBP in this tool? I thought that this is the goal for this thing. Why do you not consider this? Are there any drawbacks to this?
So that dynamic content thing is more a tool for developers and not for normal people like me.
I wouldn't say so. We would like to think that it's relatively simple to use once you can spend some time to learn it - it's like everything else.
Have you tried to go through the documentation pages I've linked and go through the videos attached to each of them?
We can't make all the templates from GB pro dynamic as some of them should be static. You can add the dynamic property as you needed.
Just takes a couple of clicks.
i have looked in all your videos, that you released in the last time about GPP 2.
Awesome.
Do you have any specific questions about any parts of it?
