A block needed that takes input from data object and formats html output
Permalink
Hi,
I'm newcomer to concrete5. I've been looking for a block that could use existing data object data to fill in responsive html template (so that it works on mobile screens too). Or even better, block that can be used to fetch object data and make the output html template too.
For example if I had list of "item" objects, I could grab the list object data to display html formatted list of selected data from each object. Like in classifieds listing etc. Would be nice to have possibility to show data object image as image (not just file link).
Please let me know if there is some blocks or other tricks to do that.

Maybe my Universal Content Puller https://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/universal-content-pulle... , though hard to be sure without knowing about your requirement. Have a look at some of the examples on my support site and see if any match your application. https://c5magic.co.uk/addons/universal-content-puller/getting-starte...
You could build a custom block to do this though. If you would be willing to provide some more information we could try to point you in the right direction.
1) Where is this data coming from?
2) What is the format of the data?
3) Does there need to be pagination or just one list of things (pagination will complicate thing exponentially)?
