Component body

Blocce (Block Content Exporter), pronounced whichever way you want (be it blocky, blocksy, blahchee, etc.), is a module for moving block content from one site to another.

Why? There are a few of us out there that actually do use blocks more as configuration, with static blocks that need to show the same things on dev and live sites. And after seeing that there was no module that already handled this (at least, not at the time that development on this module started), I decided that it needed to happen. That's what this module is for - to make it slightly easier to move that block content from one site to another.

Blocce includes a few convenient features for this:

  • Block listing to tell your site which blocks you do and don't want to export.
  • Filesystem Import/Export gives some ability to track your blocks with version control.
  • UI Import/Export if you prefer to roll that way or if you're just making minor changes.

There are a few more features that would be good to add, such as:

However, the module currently does correctly do the transfers with the features stated above.

Requirements:
None!

Known problems:
None at the moment.
