Can the block designer be used for previous and next links? If so, is there documentation somewhere on how to achieve this?

Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the interest.

Uhmm.. I'm not sure what you mean with previous/next links here. Do you want to choose your own links for these buttons? You already have the HTML and needed CSS for these elements yourself? This because Block Designer can create Block (Types), but you have to style according to the theme you are using.

Let me know if you have more information and/or more questions. Happy to help you out.

Kind regards,

Ramon

I'm not happy with the built-in previous/next links in Concrete5 blocks, so I thought it might be nice to create my own, but not being familiar with how exactly Concrete5 works yet, this might not be an option. Sorry to be confusing! However, I watched the video and it looks really cool. I might buy this yet for custom formatting.

Thanks!

So you're not happy with it visually, right? So the logic behind it is OK, but not the looks of it I assume. Then you'd be better off creating a "Block Type Template".

Block Designer basically gives you the means to create new blocks, without being able to creating the "looks". Core blocks, like prev/next, don't do much with looks either. They could be doing it, but mostly it depends on your site's theme you're using, if it turns out to be good or not. In the end, every site has different font-size, line-height, coloring etc. etc. so it can not always look the same.

Hope the video for Block Designer made more clear, if not, just let me know!

Kind regards,

Ramon
