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.

To build even more complex sections, a section can have multiple types of blocks that a user chooses from.
1
<div class="hero">
2
  <div class="container">
3
    <h1>{{ section.settings.heading }}</h1>
4
    {% for block in section.blocks %}
5
      {% case block.type %}
6
        {% when 'link' %}
7
          <a href="{{ block.settings.link_action }}">
8
            {{ block.settings.link_text }}
9
          </a>
10
        {% when 'image' %}
11
          <img src="{{ block.settings.image }}"/>
12
      {% endcase %}
13
    {% endfor %}
