Page-inject for block handling

Archive

Hi,

we’re trying to figure out what’s the best way to insert one modular in specific a specific block in multiple pages. We thought it would be nice to use the page-inject plugin but we also wanted to put the block in different places (Like section top or bottom). We started using a List where you can put the modular-link and a selectbox where we are able to select the destination of the block. Is there an possibility to access the content of the link in our template with page-inject? Because obviously we only get the normal link (plugin:page-inject).
Or does anyone has another/better solution?

Thanks, Phil!

{% for block_entry in header.blocks %}
   {% if block_entry.select == top %}
      {{ block_entry.link|markdown }}
   {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

header.blocks:
   name: blocks
   type: list
   label: Zugeordnete Blöcke
   fields:
      .link:
         type: text
         label: Pfad des blocks
         placeholder: /bloecke/_ihrBlock 
      .select:
         type: select
         label: Wo soll der Block angezeigt werden
         top: blue
         options:
            top: Block oben
            bottom: Block unten

There really is no one way of doing things in Grav, and you have come up with a pretty ingenious solution that I never even considered :slight_smile: Good job!

Gantry5 framework is on it’s way to Grav and it sounds like it will be an ideal solution for you if you need to create more complex shared layouts. Check it out here: http://gantry.org

Right now it’s available for Joomla and WordPress but we are soon going to be bringing it to Grav and it makes a perfect companion for Grav when you need more flexibility and control over layouts.

Thanks for your reply :slight_smile:

I think I found a pretty solid solution for this. Now I’m just searching the page with “find()” and get the modular content rendered in the choosen location.

For rendering

{% block block_top %}
   {% for blocks in page.header.blocks %}
      {% if blocks.select == 'top' %}
         {% set blocks_content = page.find(blocks.url) %}
         {% include [blocks_content.template, '.html.twig']|join with {'header': page.find(blocks_content.url)} %}
      {% endif %}
   {% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

For backend

header.blocks:
   name: blocks
   type: list
   fields:
      .url:
         type: text 
         placeholder: /bloecke/_ihrBlock
      .select:
         type: select
            default: top
            options:
               top: Block oben
               bottom: Block unten
