Drupal Content Blocks are difficult to work with in the sidebar

Created on 25 October 2024, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

In Add/manage non-reusable content blocks (Drupal blocks) Fixed support for adding Drupal content blocks has added. This is a really nice addition, but the usability of managing a lot of fields, or CKEditor fields in the small sidebar, is not that user friendly.

Let's explore ways to modify Drupal content blocks in a more user-friendly way. Either in a modal, like Drupal block plugins. Or kind of inline within the Gutenberg editor.

One challenge for an inline embed into the Gutenberg editor would be, that the Frontend Theme is applied there and might lead to odd results.

Example using a modal:

    Wow @marcofernandes. This works pretty good for me and the use-case I described in the issue.

    Really nice work and in my opinion works much smoother than editing block content in the sidebar.
