This guide will help users understand how the default theme modules and blocks work together in Newspaper Theme.
- The module is the key element in our theme. It is the main element used to create the blocks.
- A block is a container for one or more module types.
- A block has multiple instances of one or more module types.
Let’s take a look at a practical example:
Block 1 is made out of one instance of module 4 (big thumb) and 4 instances of module 6 by default. If we increase the number of posts we want to show in this block we would get more instances of module 6
A block can have different modules based on the page layout you chose.
There are 3 ways a block can show content:
On a full width row, on a 2/3 row, and on a 1/3 row. Each of these row layouts generates a different result. A block can use different modules based on the layout you choose.
To see how each block displays in each case please check our live pre-built website under the main menu > features > content blocks
