If not are there any plans to allow the creation of blocks? (Premade combinations of short codes)
Use case: Lets say I have a block of text and a button at the bottom of all my pages. If I want to edit this I have to edit it on every page currently. Where with a block I only need to edit the original block and it would update across all pages where it's included.
The extension would most likely not work with the modified salient VC.
For reusable blocks could you try and use the my templates feature on VC. See attached screenshot of adding a template to a page.
The templates can then be added to multiple pages. The only aspect they do not have is a centralized area to edit the template and have all other areas where its added take up the changes.
I am aware of the template function already but thanks any ways :-)
It helps a little but not in the grand scheme of things as you still need to edit all the pages you placed the template if you want to make any edits.
Perhaps you could mention it as a feature request to the devs as it would save a LOT of time when making amendments.
Also a suggestion would be a set up somewhere for people to submit feature requests as it would allow you to prioritise requests that others may like :-)
Hey guys,
Do any extensions for VC work with Salient? I know you have a modified version of VC so just wanted to check.
Specifically the Block Builder extension

Hope this is a workable alternative.

Hi again Brendan,
Thank you for writing back to us.
I will escalate this ticket as a feature request to the developer team and hopefully they can consider your request.
Best regards.
