Create CMS blocks with editor

About the Extension
Standard CMS elements not enough for your corporate design?
You know the limits of shopping experiences: predefined blocks, little flexibility in layout and content, and every custom element eats developer time. Agencies and shop operators with demanding corporate design want to build their own CMS blocks without programming from scratch for every project.
With the drag and drop editor, you create individual CMS blocks and content elements for shopping experiences faster than ever. Drag fields such as text, links, images, or entities into place. Finished elements are stored in a plugin and can be reused across further shops.
Content built to your specifications
You define blocks and elements exactly to shop requirements or your corporate design. Especially practical: repetitions within an element, for example for sliders or tabs, are set up in minutes. That delivers layouts standard elements cannot cover.
Drag and drop instead of code
No Twig, no hand rolled boilerplate. The editor handles structure work so you design with maximum efficiency in minimal time. When in doubt, even without deep programming skills, ideal for teams bridging content and technology.
Preview for elements and block configuration
The preview function shows how content elements look in shopping experiences before they go live. New: preview in block configuration lets you see a block layout outline right beside the configuration and saves guesswork when building layouts.
For editors, you can add individual preview images per element so they instantly see which content element they are editing.
Exportable, customizable, reusable
All CMS elements live in your extension or custom theme. Adapt, copy, or reuse them in the next project. Import and export moves blocks between environments. That makes reuse especially efficient for agencies with multiple clients.
Configuration with control
Mark fields as required so editors cannot save half finished content. Hide elements in the administration that are not needed in shopping experiences. Content teams keep a clear, focused selection.
Available field types
- Link
- Text
- Textarea
- Html
- Number
- Media (images)
- Repetition
- Entity (e.g. category, product)
- Color picker
- Select
- Radio
- Checkbox
For the category entity field, an improved selection field with category path helps you find the right category faster.
Inspiration and getting started
A free sample plugin with various content elements is available for download. Use it as a boilerplate for your own ideas. When creating a new element, all available fields are created automatically.

FAQ
Compatibility
Our extension is generally compatible with all our own extensions, provided that the respective functionalities do not conflict with each other.
For third-party extensions, including Shopware’s premium extensions, we cannot guarantee unrestricted compatibility. Should any issues arise in this context, our support team will be happy to assist you.
Naturally, when new Shopware versions are released, we ensure that our extension is made compatible with them in a timely manner.
Please note that our statements refer to the Shopware Community Edition with the standard responsive theme.
Support
Do you need assistance? Our support team is at your disposal in both German and English.
To process your request as quickly as possible, please ensure that:

In most cases, it is necessary for us to have unrestricted access to your shop’s administration in order to analyze and fix the problem. Additionally, it may be required for you to provide us with FTP or ideally SSH credentials for your server. Please note that setting up and later removing these accesses is your responsibility.
For a smooth troubleshooting process, we recommend conducting support in a staging or development environment. This allows issues to be reproduced under controlled conditions without affecting your live shop.

Perfekt, um individuelle Erlebniswelt-Elemente in kürzester Zeit zu erstellen
Für mich persönlich ein Game-Changer
Es empfiehlt sich, den Block, den man gerne hätte vorher lokal ohne Twig zu schreiben und dann entsprechend nur die Variablen einzusetzen und die Config entsprechend zu erstellen.
Mit dem Plugin hat man die Möglichkeit, sehr flexibel Inahltselemente exakt nach eigenen Vorstellungen zu erstellen und diese dann wie gewohnt an den verschiedensten Stellen der Website zu verwenden.
