All about setup blocks
Throughout this documentation you may have seen setup-blocks mentioned or seen them in your site content. Here is a quick summary about setup-blocks.
First a warning or two
- Not all things in your site content are setup blocks. Never ever try to edit or remove anything that is called "navigation" or "nav2" that looks like . Only ever edit the that are named "setup-block."
- A setup block must be named "setup-block" or it won't do what you want it to do. Never rename your setup-block.
- Only one setup block per folder! You can add setup blocks to folders under the first one, but not to the same folder.
- Whatever change you make to a setup block will filter down through all the files and folders under it in your directory/folder structure. You can stop that in any given folder by giving it its very own setup-block
Why do I need a setup block?
You need a setup-block in any directory where you wish to make changes to the sidebar content of all the pages inside that folder. So if you want to add a Twitter or RSS feed under your navigation or if you want to change the site name for a subsite, you will need to add or edit a setup-block in that folder.
How do I create a setup block?
You add the setup block using the assets in "Add Content" much the way you add anything in Cascade. Go to "Add Content" and choose setup-block but DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME. Let Cascade name it "setup-block." As always, choose the folder it goes into.
How do I edit the setup-block?
Click on it in your site content to open it, then click the edit icon. When it is open there are a few things you can do:
- Edit the site name
- Add an RSS or Twitter feed to appear under your navigation
- Add an image with a link under the navigation
