Winter CMS - Blocks Theme

Winter CMS theme that demonstrates the use of "repeater groups" in custom page fields to assemble static pages with customizable building sections and blocks. Each section, depending on his type, can have one or more blocks.

Installation

(let assume you're in the root of your winter installation)

Using composer

Just run this command

composer require hounddd/wn-blocks-theme

Cloning repo

Clone this repo into your winter themes folder.

cd themes
git clone https://github.com/Hounddd/wn-blocks-theme blocks

Usage

NOTE: the name blocks is important, if you change the themes name you have to alter some files to match the path.

• the groups attribute in the layouts/default.htm repeater.
• the groups attribute in the meta/sections.yaml repeater.

In your backend, check for the static pages plugin to be installed. If you go to the "Pages" and edit home page, you now have a blocks tab where you can add different sections/blocks, enter data and even rearrange their order. Custom page fields add custom fields to the page editor form, called Syntax Fields

Adjust to your needs

See Winter CMS backend forms documentation to see how setting new field definitions.

Adding sections

To add more section types, edit meta/sections.yaml file.

In your field definition simply add

my-section-type:
    name: My awesome section
    description: display a section
    icon: icon-table
    content:
        type: repeater
        prompt: Add new block
        style: accordion
        groups: themes/blocks/meta/blocks.yaml

Important: Each section definition has a corresponding partial file named partials/blocks/{section_name}.htm. The form data is passed as 'data'.

Adding blocks

To add more block types, edit meta/blocks.yaml file.

In your field definition simply add

text:
    name: Simple text
    description: simple text without html tags
    icon: icon-file-text-o
    fields:
        content:
            label: Content
            span: left
            type: textarea
            size: small

Important: Each block definition has a corresponding partial file named partials/blocks/content/{block_name}.htm. The form data is passed as 'content'.

Make awesome sites with Winter!
