Blocks

If you think of a section as a row then its columns are what kajabi calls blocks. Blocks are groupings of settings that can be added and removed from a section by the user.

Blocks are added to the schema and looped over inside the section in liquid.
<div class="hero">
  <div class="container">
    <h1>{{ section.settings.heading }}</h1>
    {% for block in section.blocks %}
      <a href="{{ block.settings.link_action }}">
        {{ block.settings.link_text }}
      </a>
    {% endfor %}
  </div>
</div>
{% schema %}
  {
    "name": "Example Section",
    "elements": [
      {
        "type": "text",
        "id": "heading",
        "label": "Heading",
        "default": "This is an example heading"
      }
    ],
    "blocks": [
      {
        "type": "link",
        "name": "Link",
        "elements": [
          {
            "type": "text",
            "id": "link_text",
            "label": "Link Text",
            "default": "CALL TO ACTION"
          },
          {
            "type": "action",
            "id": "link_action",
            "label": "Link Action",
            "default": "http://www.kajabi.com"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
{% endschema %}
To build even more complex sections, a section can have multiple types of blocks that a user chooses from.
<div class="hero">
  <div class="container">
    <h1>{{ section.settings.heading }}</h1>
    {% for block in section.blocks %}
      {% case block.type %}
        {% when 'link' %}
          <a href="{{ block.settings.link_action }}">
            {{ block.settings.link_text }}
          </a>
        {% when 'image' %}
          <img src="{{ block.settings.image }}"/>
      {% endcase %}
    {% endfor %}
  </div>
</div>
{% schema %}
  {
    "name": "Example Section",
    "elements": [
      {
        "type": "text",
        "id": "heading",
        "label": "Heading",
        "default": "This is an example heading"
      }
    ],
    "blocks": [
      {
        "type": "link",
        "name": "Link",
        "elements": [
          {
            "type": "text",
            "id": "link_text",
            "label": "Link Text",
            "default": "CALL TO ACTION"
          },
          {
            "type": "action",
            "id": "link_action",
            "label": "Link Action",
            "default": "http://www.kajabi.com"
          }
        ]
      },
      {
        "type": "image",
        "name": "Image",
        "elements": [
          {
            "type": "image_picker",
            "id": "image",
            "label": "Image"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
{% endschema %}
