Twig Page Blocks

Control panel templates make a number of twig {% block %} areas available, where custom templates can be rendered.

This can be helpful if you want to add instructions/help/guides/link lists/whatever to your page in order to support editors.

Your template must live in the settings.customTemplatePath folder, by default templates/_contentoverview

php
'pages' => [
    'page1' => ['label' => 'Site/News', 'url' => 'contentoverview/page1', 'blocks' => [
        'details' => 'blocks/co_page1_guide.twig',      
    ]],
]

Available blocks

  • sidebar
  • details - wrap content in <div class="meta" style="padding: 12px;"> </div>
  • toolbar
  • footer

The page and settings variable are available in these templates.

Example

twig
<div class="meta" style="padding: 12px;">
