Block reference
Defines a field type Block reference which creates a relationship to a block and allows the block to be displayed as the content of the field.
Installation
-
Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at https://backdropcms.org/guide/modules
-
Create a new blockreference field on any fieldable entity (node, taxonomy_term, etc.)
Theming
To assist in themeing blocks that are displayed using the block reference module, the block reference element is available in the $variables array in template_preprocess_block().
The element can be found at:
$variables['elements']['#blockreference_element']
Note that the element will not be there for non-blockreference blocks so you should first check the existence of the element before using its contents.
Notes
- Relationships are saved using the block's
delta+module. - Block configuration visibility settings are respected. If a referenced block does not appear when viewing a node, check the block's visibility settings on /admin/structure/block. Note that visibility settings are evaluated regardless of whether the block is assigned to a region.
