Hi there,

Are there any future plans to build in the functionality for custom developed blocks in composer? Some things I had in mind would be a container block (for use as a styled panel for example), or other elements like accordions.

If not, is there any chance of getting some pointers please on how I could start looking into doing something like this myself? I've tried to take a look through the layout code but it's clearly not as straightforward as copying the code from an existing block layout.

Also, with the composer is there a straightforward way of including styling from my site's template in the composer view? It would make using the custom HTML block and the text styling a bit more straightforward if it can inherit styling from the site template.

Many thanks
Tim
Hey Tim,

Currently we do not have any plan for this yet, perhaps you can request this feature on our forums here.

Actually it quite difficult to add a custom block into composer, because it involved a lot of section have to update it.

Perhaps you can try enable this "Enable Custom CSS Wrappers" from backend, so you can able to add the custom css class name into each of the block section, then style it those css and put into your current template custom.css file, you can check my attached screenshot below.

Hope this will help.
