I see. Thank you. Will check it out.

Twill is a life saver. I think this can have a mass adoption if we have (a) few sample apps (b) In-depth documentation with examples (c) Providing standard files in the respective folders itself (for example, users module files are missing in the controller, views, etc). Finally, some basic pages for the frontend as well. I am not a very experienced developer, but certainly would love to contribute in anyway I can - especially tweaking or providing default frontend views...

That's great! Contributions are definitely welcome. A quick note on the frontend — From my perspective, it's actually a feature of Twill. It has no opinion on how you should build your frontend.

I understand, its just makes it easy to visualise... if you guide me.. I can properly work on this and provide a basic front-end, probably, any pages module - home page, about, services, contact

Checkout https://github.com/croustille-io/twill-boilerplate It's a complete starter app with frontend views.

is it for nginx ? I use standard LAMP ....

Just reviewing the code... this is super helpful.

I believe it uses Laravel Homestead, which you can configure for Nginx or Apache. It should work well with both.

Okay, will give a try.

Hi quick question about vue custom blocks

<input
  type="text" placeholder=""
  name="blocks[1625692250779][vimeo_banner_title]" 
  id="blocks[1625692250779][vimeo_banner_title]-1625692251370" autocomplete="on"
>

How would i generate this block's id so I can add more input fields to add to the request? Edit: the above example is just a default text field that comes with twill and i want to mimic the name and id of the element

Hey @User, not sure I fully understand what you are trying to accomplish. Do you want to add extra fields to your block template dynamically?

yep

not sure if that's the best way to do it

Have you tried with a repeater?

i'm trying to implement a way to upload vimeo videos

would a repeater be a good solution to upload vimeo videos for this?

You want to store a list of Vimeo URLs as part of your block?

like upload a video on your local drive and it would be uploaded to vimeo

yeah

Then yeah, a repeater is the easiest solution : https://twill.io/docs/#adding-repeater-fields-to-a-block

just to double check: is it possible to add a field within a custom vue block for the request?

I have an

<a17-custom-vimeo-uploader-block>

with input fields that are not getting added to the request

Yes, that should be possible. Can you share a bit more about your custom component?

CustomVideoUploaderBlock.vue

<input name="vimeo_url" type="hidden" :value="iframeUrl" />

I'm trying to store a string into this input and have it added to a request when saving so I can save it to my database with the Repository@beforeSave function

I want to add that string into the content array for my custom block (this is the dumped request) edit: in this case i would want "vimeo_url" added to the content array

How are you storing the other content in the block? Are those built-in form components? (like a17-textfield and such ?)

like syncing saved data? and yes kind of like the basic a17 text field

Ok, are you using

BlockMixin

in your custom block?

Yes sir

I believe all you are missing is

fieldName('vimeo_url')

to generate your

name

attribute
