CTX Blocks

CTX Blocks is a Wordpress Gutenberg Plugin. It includes some new blocks that come in handy fopr generic websites

Description

Templating with Timber/Twig is a breeze. I was always disappointed that there are no blocks that can easily be redesigend with a simple template language like twig. Always compiling React (which is great, though!) makes it difficult to change Blocks on the fly or include a block template in a theme.

Plugins like simple-blocks where not an option for me as they heavily rely on database and is not easily scalable across multiple sites. That's why I wrote this plugin. You can design all your blocks (including core blocks) in the twig language. All block attributes are automatically available als values.

New Blocks

Grid: Set a grid layout and decide, how many colums to show on which media size. You can also reorder columns on mobile devices.

Card: Create a card component with many options (lables, badges, shadow, colors, etc.)

Description List: A list with optional images or icons, captions and a description text

Buttons: Create buttons that support not only links, but also modals and scripts

Condition: conditionally render blocks (currently depending on date/time)

Progress: A progress bar, for donations, statos, whatever

SVG: Insert an SVG graphic

Installation

For installation, you will need SSH access to your server and an installed npm environment. Simply run these commands to install the plugin:

git clone https://github.com/gollenia/ctx-blocks.git
cd ctx-blocks
npm install
npm run build

Feel free, of course, to make use of GitHub's actions ;-)

Legacy notice

As this plugin was once called "ctx-blocks", the internal block names still start with "ctx-blocks/...". This can not be changed, since websites already use these block names.
