Enhancements to the Silverstripe Blocks module

SilverStripe Blocks Enhancements (WIP)

Work in progress!

This module adds enhancements to the Silverstripe Blocks module, namely:

• Visual display/preview of block layouts
• Assign blocks to available block-areas by drag & drop
• Inline editing of blocks, blocktype & content
• Adds a 'Publish + blocks' button to publish all blocks along with the page in one go
• Some other small Ux improvements

Screenshots

Drag to assign block area, block-preview images, inline-editing

Usage:

• Install as usual (remember to run a 'composer update' as well)
• There's a 'images/BlockIcons.svg' file containing examples of block layout previews.
• Create a BlockClassName.png image for each BlockClassName in mysite/block_images/

Installation

Composer

composer require micschk/silverstripe-block_enhancements

Install via composer, + run 'composer update' (seems needed for the select2 module to create web-accessible 'components' dir).

Then run dev/build and see the README of sheadawson/silverstripe-blocks for further instructions

Requirements (all pulled in by composer)

• SilverStripe CMS ~3.1
• Silverstripe Blocks module + requirements
• (This module contains a slightly modified copy of EditableRow by Milkyway Multimedia, thanks)
