Blocks: media and showcase

Eight blocks for images, video, files and renderings: gallery, video, downloads, mockup, service area, AI demo, before-and-after comparison and an image with explaining dots. All settings are listed for each of them.

Overview

Blocks with images, video, files, a map detail and a before-and-after comparison.

In the editor these blocks sit under "Media & showcase". Most of them need files of their own: upload images and documents to the media library first and then pick them in the block. How that works is described in the chapter Content, media library and blog.

Every image needs an alternative text. It describes in one sentence what can be seen and is read out when the image cannot be displayed.

Why there are only two examples here

Gallery, video, downloads, before-and-after and the image with dots need files of their own; without them an example shows nothing. So check these blocks with your own files in the editor preview.

Video video-embed

Video on the page; externally hosted videos only open after a click.

Your own video files go into "src"; they play directly. A video on an external platform belongs in "url" — it only loads after a click on the preview, so no data goes there beforehand.

On top of these come the common settings _style.

Downloads download-cards

Cards with downloadable files such as price lists or fact sheets.

Every card points to a file. Upload the file to the media library first and enter its address in "url".

Mockup mockup

Framed screen mock-up built from your own HTML or SVG.

The block takes finished HTML or an SVG graphic. If "html" is filled it takes precedence over "svg"; the frame from "frame" only applies to the SVG version.

Service area area-map

Rendering of the service area with a list of towns, without an external map service.

The block does not draw a real map but a rendering of its own from your entries. That way no data is transferred to a mapping service.

AI assistant demo assistant-demo

Demonstration of the chat assistant directly on the page.

The block shows a chat window that talks to the website AI assistant. It therefore only makes sense on websites where that assistant is set up.

Before and after before-after

Two images with a slider to show a result.

Both images should show the same detail at the same size — otherwise the comparison jumps while you drag. "start" decides where the slider sits when the page loads.

Image with hotspots image-hotspots

A photo in which individual spots are explained with markers.

The dots are placed as a percentage of the image width and height: x from the left, y from the top. That keeps them on the same spot of the image at every screen size.
