Apply custom block template
Permalink
Hey guys,
sorry for the "simple" question, but I'm just re-creating a C5 site based on the 5.7.x version and everything went fine so far. Now I just wanted to add a custom block template for my "Blog" site, which basically is a custom template for the "page-list" block.
What I did:
I created the following file: /application/blocks/page_list/view.php
...and designed it as needed. I also set up the whole structure and created the pagelist itself and it lists my posts, but I can not apply my custom style to this block - can you please tell me how to add it?
Thank you very much!

hey there, thank you very much! I did this but I think I just found the real problem: if I click on the gearwheel-icon to change the block style nothing happens... why?!
Are there any errors in your browser console?
Are you using a custom theme?
Are you using a custom theme?
The way you have it set up currently, view.php is overriding the view.php for the Page List block.
To use your view.php as a template, you need to add it into a templates folder.
application\blocks\page_list\templates
After you create the templates folder, move your view.php into it.
Now it will be available to add as a custom template.
