Include single Block Element

hudson

I am developing my own theme and in some cases I would like to provide a single Block and not the whole Block Editor (@{ +* }). (In this case it would be the Slider Block)

What I have in mind is something simple like: @{ +slider } or @{ +block | slider }. Just like having the user be able to just insert an image @{ image } or link @{ url }.

And <@ /automad/blocks/slider.php @> doesn't work...

Is there a way to do this? Or maybe a work around...

hudson Hi there! Yes that is possible. But not using blocks. The concept of blocks is that users can structure the page by adding all kind of content without touching a template. Since you basically try to achieve the opposite, you have add the slider HTML into the template and just use a variable for the file selection. The Standard theme provides a good example for an embedded slider.
