Hi all, I'm (very) new to Dolphin and have set up my domain and am trialing the software. A couple of things I need to know before I progress to purchase a license. Hopefully someone can let me know if the following is possible. Can building blocks be swopped between pages if they are not showing in the 'Inactive Block' list for the page? I'm trying to structure the Accounts page to be my Home page, and want the World Map on there, is this possible? Also, I'm trying to introduce more Predefined Values' into registration, I have created them in the lists but cannot get them to show on the registration page.
I need to know if all this is possible (and more!) before I move on, can anyone help?
Cheers

Deano has a great module that allows for copying blocks to other pages. Please keep in mind that not all blocks can be put on other pages, and the module does a great job in identifying that.

The blocks that my module can copy are a very small percentage. And even some that it marks as can be copied, don't actually work on the page they are copied to. So keep that in mind. The reason is most of dolphins blocks are written specifically for the page they are on. Thus the reason they are not available in other pages in the builder. So copying them does not always work.
@ProfessorSr. Thank you for the recommendation. However, the modules ability to copy blocks i really don't want to be used as a selling point. So few blocks can be reliably copied, it results in disappointment for many that purchase it. https://www.deanbassett.com |
Thanks guys, very helpful, deano92964, can I ask you a couple of block swops directly, or do I need to go through a private channel? |
You can ask in the modules support forum here http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Block-Tools-Support-Forum.htm if the module can copy a block.
I would need to know the exact block name as it appears in the page builders, the page name as it appears in the page builders and to what page it is to be copied to as it appears in the page builders.
Swapping is a incorrect term. You can copy a block, not swap blocks. https://www.deanbassett.com |
Thanks, that's great, I'll get to it and post asap, you're very helpful, cheers |
just to prove how much of a novice I am deano, I've followed your link to the forum but can't seem to post! Any idea why? |
