This guide explains how to insert a block that displays a previously created "additional field" within the Visual Builder.
Inserting an 'Additional Field' Block in the Visual Builder
Prerequisite: Make sure you have already created and configured the desired additional field within the settings of the "Custom Fields" plugin.
Follow these steps to add and configure the block:
1. Inserting the Block in the Visual Builder
1. Access the Visual Builder interface (for example, by editing a page, an email, or a template).
2. Open the sidebar panel of available blocks.
3. Search for the Additional Fields category.
4. Drag the block corresponding to the type of field you want to display (for example, Text, Image, Number, etc.) into the desired position in your layout.
2. Configuring the Block
Once the block is inserted, a configuration window (popup) will open where you need to specify which field to show:
1. Field Source:
- In the "Source" section (or "Source Module"), use the dropdown menu Source Module to select the module to which the additional field is associated (e.g., Products, Customers, etc.).
- Use the dropdown menu Field to Display to select the specific name of the additional field you want to display.
2. Defining Conditions:
- Scroll down to the Conditions section.
- In the "Main Record ID" field, enter the value that uniquely identifies the record from which to extract data.
- Note for users: Often, this field requires using a Shortcode (code enclosed in curly braces, e.g.,
{product-id}) that will be automatically replaced with the correct ID at display time.
3. Saving:
- Once configuration is complete, save changes in the block popup.
The block is now configured to retrieve and display the value of the specified additional field based on the main record's ID.
