You can't edit blocks from the dashboard interface, but you can edit the block's code directly (you'll need a bit of php know-how to do this). The block is located in your site's top-level "blocks" directory (NOT in concrete/blocks, and NOT in packages/designer_content/blocks), and will be named with the handle you entered when you created the block.

Thanks mate - will have a go.

So I guess I need to change it in a couple of places right?
- The entry template (is that called edit.php?)
- The output template

Is there anything that needs to be done in the database?

And can I just copy and paste code from a different image and rename it?

Depends on which kind of field(s) you want to add -- you might need to alter every file. If you're not familiar with how C5 blocks work, it might be a bit complicated, but in general you need to modify these files:
edit.php -- the block edit form that users enter content into
view.php -- the template that displays the block html out on the page
db.xml -- the database schema definition containing all the fields
controller.php -- most of the functional code, basically does data preparation so the view.php file doesn't have to have a bunch of ugly code in it

How much content has already been entered with this custom block? It might be easier to create a new block and transfer everything over to that.

Hi, I have created a block on Designer content package, which have a WYSIWYG editor, which work perfectly but the block in edit mode create new record in database i.e: not replace the existing record which i want to edit/update.

So what to do with this problem. Thanks.

I believe this was addressed in another forum thread:
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/check-it-o...

I like this a lot, and I will have good use of it for most of my clients. But do you have any plans of making an "edit block" function?

Best regards

No, I have no plans for this -- you will need to modify the generated block's code as described above.

Implementing a dashboard interface for editing existing block types is an order of magnitude more complicated than creating them in the first place, and I don't see the benefit being worth the immense amount of work involved (especially since there already is a way to achieve this -- by working with the code directly).

Sorry.

No worries =)

I was just curious.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Thanks - this helped me tremendously!
