Custom Blocks and Export/Import of Pages

joomforest

Hi,

congratulations for T4 Page Builder, i think currently it is the best page builder for Joomla.
i have a few question:
1) In free version of T4 Page Builder can we create our own "Custom Blocks" and "Elements"?
2) Also, can we "Export/Import" our own Pages through libraries ?
i tired to export, but zip archive is broken .. seems not working for free version, right?

Best Regards,
Maksym

Hi Maksym,

Thanks for using our products.

With free version, you can create your own custom blocks.

Also, I just tested by creating a new page >> export the page to a zip file >> then I import again, it works normally. It should work fine with free version, too. If it still doesn't work at your end, you can share me that zip file so I can try to import at my end and see how it goes.

saguaros With free version, you can create your own custom blocks.

can you please point me to the documentation? here https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/t4-page-builder i cant find it anywhere ...

It should work fine with free version, too.

i installed quickstart package, then i realized that in Quickstart package the T4 page builder component/plugin is old version, but i download "T4 Pagebuilder Package" and installed it,
then i exported zip packaged and then tried to import back, i get "Package Upload is error" (attached screenshot).
Tried to open zip file, but it seems be broken .. i guess export function is not working well.

you can share me that zip file so I can try to import at my end and see how it goes.

i cant share it here in forum, i'm trying to attach but i get this error - "Uploading files of this type is not allowed."

Best Regards,
Maksym.

joomforest From your screenshot, it looks like you're using old version now. We released stable version of T4 Page Builder, could you try to use the latest version first?

joomforest

updated and it works now, thank you!
i have few question:
1) In free version of T4 Page Builder can we create our own "Custom Blocks" and "Elements"? i know that i can create it from "blocks.json" file, but my question is if there is any possibility for example:
a) to override "blocks.json" file from my template folder;
b) or, somehow the possibility to export/import own "Elements" or "Blocks"?

best Regards

I replied you in several topics that you can create your own blocks.

In case that you want to use your own block from one site to another, you can simply copy the source code of that block to the destination site as you wish: https://prnt.sc/tvfju9

joomforest

thanks for answer, but thats not what i need .. i would like to have our own pre-defined blocks in "Blocks/Elements" section.
If in future you will add the possibility to override from template folder the "root/media/.../blocks.json" file (i mean for example from "root/templates/t4_blank/html/com_t4pagebuilder/core/dist/blocks.json") that would be great! - it will give us the possibility to have our own "Blocks/Elements" (and remove anything unneeded) for our clients.

that last question - can we offer you the dark theme for T4 Page Builder? maybe can you somewhere add the "option" to switch to darker theme of a builder? it just needs to add some css ... i think for UI it will look much better ... or in future if you will also just add the possibility to override from template folder the "/media/t4pagebuilder/builder/css/editor.css" file, that also would be great, it will be easy for us to add/customize the theme colors for builder 🙂
attached the screenshots

Best Wishes,
