Content blocks per page

[jackgittes]

Dear people,

CMSMS is a great CMS that I am using for a while now. But there is one thing I miss. Currently a Content block consist of one editor window where the user can place text. You can add different kinds of content blocks by adding them in the template.

But what I would like to see is that the user self can add different content blocks in a page.

Example:
Default are three fields defined in a page: title, description and image. These are three seperate fields that will be displayed in a page. If the user want to add more there should be button like 'add content block'. A new block with these three fields appear where the user can put in content. All this on one page.

Does anybody know something like this for CMSMS? I know there was a module named 'Pageblocks' and it did something like that. But it's not supported anymore and it doesn't work in recent versions of CMSMS.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Jan

this is indeed a nice feature which i am also missing. maybe this will be possible with advancedcontent module in the future. but for now you have to be patient

Personally i don't think this feature is needed, you have {content} that has WYSIWYG editor in backend, so if you want this to act as

- Title
- Content

You can simply add Heading 1,2,3 whatever you use and continue with Content text.
To me this looks more like article writing and you can use News or CGBlog for this function.
I would never allow my Customer to play around with numerous Blocks since this would for ceratin end in breaking the layout, so the best options is to predefine this in Template where or what a customer may edit.

The reason that I would like to have this is to protect the user against itself. For most average users it goes to far to select a text, make it a header (h1 or h2). It can go wrong easily. That is why I would to have different kind of fields so the user only has to type the content and not worry about headers or styling.

You can add content blocks for H1 etc. using {content block='h1' label='The H1 Block' oneline='true'} you can read what this will do in the extensions > tags content tag help...

I think PageBlocks would be a good module because each page is a product and needs fixed product attributes (i.e. size, weight, colour, country of origin).

Is there another solution you can suggest to achieve this?
