FluentCommunity Course Editor
If you're using a theme such as Kadence that has its own set of more advanced blocks - can these not be used in the course editor? All I can see is the standard gutenberg blocks which frankly, are useless.
No fluent community does not load kadence scripts or styles so those blocks would not work even if they were available.
What sort of blocks are you missing?
It's not so much about the blocks available, but the extra design controls the themes blocks provide. Right now, I'm trying to load videos stored in Bunny CDN and I'm having to write custom CSS and jump through hoops in layout because of the poor gutenberg approach to block design. On a normal page in the same site, it all just works normally when using the theme blocks (in this case Kadence).
Jason M When you say a normal page do you mean a wordpress page with the Fluent Community theme applied? Those pages work the opposite way where the Fluent Community scripts and styles are loaded into the wordpress environment. That's why you would have full access to those blocks on those pages, and not inside Courses which are fully within the Fluent Community environment.
Yes so sadly it looks like I'm better off just using linked custom pages rather than the course builder. Shame but it's not a public facing application so it'll do for now.
Ross FCA Ah ok fair enough. As I say it's not the blocks, it's the lack of properties in those blocks. Also when I place a code block (Bunny video iframe) in a gutenberg [group] block there's nothing you can do to resize the video. In a [Row] block it doesn't display at all. Only the [Columns] block will work. For background I'm a Bricks user normally so I'm used to having full design control. I hadn't appreciated that FCommunity was completely siloed from the themes assets so I may just change the theme to Bricks for the other wordpress pages.
In the meantime if I think of anything useful for the blocks I'll drop a note here.
