Old Content Blocks module

[newrecruit02]

HI, I have used CMS made simple in the past, around the 1.10 version. I just downloaded this newer version and noticed alot has changed. I was very fond of the content blocks and url renaming options. Does this newer version have the same thing? If so where can those be found as I cant seem to locate anything similiar.

Invest some time in this https://www.cmscanbesimple.org/blog/the ... gn-manager you will be amazed!!

No, that is not a solution for content blocks in pages. Certainly not for template blocks.

fist of all thanks for the help! However, I have to be honest, none of those examples made any sense to me, are there any other examples? Where would I originally create a content block? I am looking to create footer information and call it like an include on everypage..

Maybe try this?

Note that you will NOT find the Global Content Blocks as they existed in CMSMS 1.x

They have been moved to the Design Manager and of type 'Core::Generic'

If you have a look at the Simplex page template you will find somewhere near the bottom:

Code: Select all

{global_content|strip name='Simplex Footer'} {* generic Design Manager template *}

This is how such a Generic template is included.

Note that a template by default is not editable by an Editor. If you need a footer which is editable by an Editor there are other ways to accomplish that.

a: Use design manager to create a generic template.... lets call it 'footer'
b: add {include file='cms_template:footer'} in your page templates.

the {global_content} does the same thing, it is just around for compatibility purposes.
