This CC component does allow including CMS blocks that are already existing.

 

In order to include a CMS block to this component you firstly have to create a given CMS block. This can be done in CONTENT / ELEMENTS / BLOCKS. On the top right-hand side click ADD NEW BLOCK. Now following steps have to be done in order to create a CMS block:

 

  1. Select if you want to ENABLE BLOCK: When ticked, you can use the CMS block after saving.

  2. Enter BLOCK TITLE: Enter a title for the CMS block.

  3. Enter IDENTIFIER: Enter a unique identifier that will be used for used to identify and re-use the given CMS block e.g. in the CC Static Block component.

  4. Select STORE VIEW: Select the store view you would like to use the CMS block in.

  5. Insert content using the editor: You can prepare content using the HTML editor either using HTML view or the WYSIWYG editor by clicking SHOW / HIDE EDITOR. Also inserting widgets, images and variables is supported.

 

When the CMS block has been saved it can be added to a CC Static Block component. In the CC Static Block configurations you can select the given CMS block in the STATIC BLOCK dropdown field. Additionally you can reset the CMS block styling to the default styles by ticking the RESET DEFAULT STYLES OF CMS STATIC BLOCK checkbox.

Worth noting is that it is also possible to add an Image teaser component to any of your CMS blocks. Which then can be implemented to any page. This opens another way of presenting your content.

 

 

 

When the settings have been made click SAVE.
