Hi,
is it possible to create a container, like a sidebar, to be customized by inserting various blocks (ads, latest news, flex blocks etc…) and then reusing it in various templates?

Hello !

You can create your sidebar like you see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa7GenCHcBU

After creating a ROW to fit your taste you can right click on the ROW: https://www.screencast.com/t/g5MnRwubsc and save it as an element: https://www.screencast.com/t/enqmVh0zBWQe

After that you will see the element in TagDiv Composer.

Thank you !

Hi Vlad,
i tried to create a sidebar into my home page template, insert some blocks, save as “custom sidebar” and insert this new block into another template (single post template).

It seems to works but if i change something in “master” template (my home page) the change does not propagate into other templates (in my case single post template) 🙁

Is it possible to save it as “global” so if I had to change something i made only one change instead of having to do N times where N are numbers of templates that use that “custom sidebar” block?

PS: i think that i can achieve my goal with “widget sidebar” blocks but i have another question: fonts used in widget are managed by “fonts settings” in theme panel?

Hi,

Please note that the changes that will apply on that shortcode are the settings add on the element when you save it as a shortcode, the settings that you’ll make after that will no longer apply.
Unfortunately the shortcodes saved are not working as the sidebars set with widgets.

Yes, the font widgets can be change from theme panel> fonts.

Thank you!
