This block is great (I’ve edited and used it myself several times), but it doesn’t seem to work on 5.4.1.1 – it doesn’t show up on the Add Functionality page.

Do you have any idea what the problem might be? Please email me if you get a chance!

Ich bin noch ziemlich neu in Concrete5 und kann Blöcke bisher noch nicht selber programmieren, aber so was wie dieses kleine Beispiel ist ja immer ein guter Einstieg.

Also vielen Dank.

Also, doing a blind search and replace on <? does not work. First, at least one of the files in your bundle already uses the long open tag and I ended up with "<?phpphp" in that file!

The next problem took me two or three hours of fiddling and failed research to finally figure out:

In form.php there are lines like

Left as is, when you attempt to add a “person” block, PHP code again bleeds into the process. Now, it appears in the “add” dialog.

It turns out that you certainly do NOT want to convert this to

Looking at the contents of other Concrete5 blocks, I made a guess that somehow “” really meant

When I made *those* sorts of changes also, I finally was actually able to add a “person” block. Oddly, the text entry area is slightly wider than the window, so a bit of the text on the left/right is clipped off. I can either live with that or probably figure it out.

I couldn’t find any PHP documentation that mention anything about how “=” is the same as ” echo ” (I thought the equals sign was an assignment operator.) If you have any pointers to explanations on this, I’d be interested.

Really, this is just a starting point, because I want to generalize the concept you’ve created. (image on the right, image vertically aligned in the middle, etc.) I appreciate your contribution to solving the problem, but I must say I am quite disappointed that a far richer solution isn’t PART OF the default Concrete5 installation. Having text along side an image is hardly an *exotic* requirement!

Thanks,

I’m seeing a scrap of PHP code displayed at the top of the Add Functionality -> Installed and Available page, rather than a “Ready to Install” entry for “person.” Other blocks I have installed show up as “Ready to Install.”

Any thoughts?

The text I see is:

t(‘You must select an image.’) ); } function getFileID() {return $this->fID;} function getFileObject() { return File::getByID($this->fID); } function getDescription() {return $this->description;} } ?>

Allerdings hast du recht, das neue Layout System deckt unter Umständen vieles davon ab. Auch dieser Block kann damit problemlos abgebildet werden. Je nach Situtation ist es aber einfacher, wenn man nicht Layouts und Blöcke einfügen muss. Mit diesem Block brauchst du noch immer weniger Klicks…

Beachte auch, dass man in den Seitentyp-Standards keine Layouts vordefinieren kann. Dies soll in der nächsten Version funktionieren, kann aber im Moment noch ziemlich lästig sein!
