We need this. Global blocks lose some of their utility without it, I agree.

We will put this on our short list for our next version, as some of our forthcoming marketplace custom templates depend upon something like this.

I was wondering if this is implemented in 5.3.3.1 and where to put the template files?

But not on the personal scrap books.

Create a shared scrap book, and create your item, you'll see that you can edit the template for it, and this change is reflected on all pages that have it. I think this has been there for about 2-3 months, you just need to use the shared scrap book.

Thanks for the reply. But if I select "Set Custom Template", I get: "There are no custom templates available."

I was wondering where I have to put the template files?

All templates should be placed here:


/blocks/BLOCKNAME/templates/TEMPLATENAME/view.php

Thanks for helping me out. This was clear to me. What I can't figure out is where the scrapbook templates are located. I tried:
/blocks/scrapbook/templates/custom_template.php

but that didn't work.

Sorry, I figured it out. I thought Scrapbook items have some sort of custom template system... but apparently I can simply use the "content" template if the scrapbook item is a "content" block.
Thanks for helping.

Hi banal,

Did you got a solution for having a global content that have a custom template?

Please share it, I have this kind of problem...

I want to have a block that when I change its text, it will reflect to all its instance but still can choose to display it in different ways using custom template.

Thanks

You can set a custom template for scrapbook blocks (should be a "Custom Template" link next to the block in Dashboard -> Scrapbook). But unfortunately if you set the custom template it applies to ALL instances of the block throughout your site -- if you change it for one it changes it everywhere and there's no way to have different custom templates for each one.
