Reusable Blocks
Blocks are pieces of website content you build once and reuse on as many pages as you like -- a call-to-action banner, a contact strip, or a service-times panel. When you edit a block, every page that uses it shows the change.
Before You Begin
- You need permission to edit website content
- Use a computer or tablet; the block editor is the same full-screen editor used for pages
Opening Blocks
- In B1 Admin, open the Jump menu (the search bar at the top-left) and expand Website.
- Click Blocks. The Reusable Blocks page lists each block with its Name and Type.
If your church has more than one website, use the site switcher at the top of the page to see the blocks for each site. Your site footer is a block too, but it is edited from Site Footer in Appearance rather than listed here.
Adding a Block
- Click Add Block.
- Enter a Name your team will recognize.
- Choose the Block Type:
- Element(s) -- one or more elements (text, images, buttons, and so on) that you drop inside a section on a page.
- Section(s) -- one or more whole sections that you drop onto a page between its other sections.
- Click Save. The block appears in the list.
Building a Block's Content
- Click the block's name, or Edit on its row. The block opens in the page editor.
- Add and style content the same way you would on a page, starting with a section.
- Changes save automatically. Click Exit in the toolbar to return to the Blocks list.
Using a Block on a Page
- Open a page in the page editor and click Add Content.
- Select the Blocks tab in the Add Elements panel. (The tab only appears once you have at least one block.)
- Drag the block onto the page: an element block into a section, or a section block between sections.
The page shows the block's current content. To change it, edit the block itself from the Blocks page; every page that uses it updates.
Renaming or Deleting a Block
- Click Rename on the block's row.
- Change the Name or Block Type and click Save, or click Delete and confirm to remove the block permanently.
Предупреждение
Pages that use a deleted block no longer show its content. Check your pages before deleting a block that is in use.
