Block Objects

Description

A link block object defines the blueprint for content blocks based on the base link content template. It represents a page to be linked to from a content block or a link within a navigation menu. When used in a content block, it is most useful when you want to split a link out separately from other content to be filled in.

Within your content templates’ displays, you would reference the block’s var_name containing the link data. (It won’t necessarily be named link but rather what you defined in the content_templates.json file.)

Here is an example display template using a link content block with a var_name of more_info_link: 

      <a href="{{ more_info_link.url }}>{{ more_info_link.title }}</a>

And here is an example within context of a navigation menu: 

      <nav class="global-nav">
        {% for link in navigation.links %}
          <a href="{{ link.url }}" class="global-nav-link {% if link.active? %}is-active{% endif %}">
            {{ link.title }}
          </a>
        {% endfor %}
      </nav>
