CMS Blocks Setup
You may already know that Admin can add various blocks in the content of Dynamic Pages. Here, we will walk you through the steps to add a Price Calculator block on the CMS page for quick orders.
This will help their customers analyze the prices of all the website products on a single page and place the order without navigating through the whole website to find their desired product.
The vertical Contact Us block looks something like shown in the below image:
The horizontal Contact Us block looks something like shown in the below image:
Following the type of block added, the system will provide display the contact us form on the respective page vertically or horizontally.
For adding contact us form vertically, enter {% block_marketing_landing_vertical %} in the editor and for adding it horizontally, enter {% block_marketing_landing_horizontal %} block in the editor.
To allow the admin to display Blog section/pages on their website, a block has been added to the blog page in the Page Contents.
To display any CMS page as blog page, you first need to enable the "Blog Pages" setting:
When the {% block_cms_blog %} is added in any page, all the CMS pages with "Blog Pages" setting is enabled will be displayed on that content page:
If you want to display any specific page as Blog page, then you need to add the page key separated by comma in the block {% block_cms_blog|{key1,key2,...}
In addition, you can manage sidebar and widget for the Blog pages with the new settings added:
With these settings, the CMS Category will now be shown in the sidebar.
When you have any CMS page where you would want to offer your customers to login to their accounts for further steps or something, you can simply add the {% block_user_login %} block in the Page Contents of the respective page.
Once added, the Customer login page will be displayed at the front store:
If you have created a separate landing page or marketing page and you want to showcase, the success stories or what your customers are saying about your services, you can add the {% block_testimonials %} block in the Page Contents of the respective page.
Once added, the Testimonials will be displayed at the front store:
Whether it is your new promo page, contact us or even a blog page, you can ask your customers to subscribe to your Newsletter just by adding the Subscriber block from the Page Contents section and your customers can see the Subscribers block on the relevant pages:
Once they will enter their email id and press Subscribe, they will be added to your Subscribers list.
With {% block_product_calculator %} block, the admin can choose to show the price calculator on the CMS pages. Learn how you can setup Price Calculator Block.
You can manage the content of the Home page middle section by showcasing Products, Categories, Groups, or even Kit products.
To display these blocks on the Home page, you need to set the "CMS" value for the "Section to display in the middle area of Homepage" setting from the Product Showcase Settings.
