Adding "global" fields for a DCP block.
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi!
I'd like to add a couple of fields to a DCP block that shouldn't get repeated for each item. Instead, they should be entered once independent of the items. Is there a way for me to do that?
I'm aware that I can use custom templates, but what I'm trying to is let the user select a background image, and some other fields, for each item listing.
Thanks

Unfortunately right now there is no way to add "global" fields to Designer
Content Pro blocks. It is definitely on our radar, but it's a decent amount
of effort so it will probably be another couple of months before we're able
to get that built.
In the meantime, I think custom templates are going to be the best
solution. Another alternative would be to make a custom attribute that is
set at the page level, then retrieve that in the block view via some code
like this:
$attr = Page::getCurrentPage()->getAttribute('your_attribute_handle');
if ($attr == 'green') {
//user entered "green", do something here...
}
Hope that helps.
