Block with linked area?

Permalink
Hi, I'm trying to make a block that has 2 fields, one for some text that sits within a larger anchored area (as defined by CSS), and one for a URL that the anchored area will go to.

So essentially, the block panel would look like this:

Text: [___________]
URL: [__________]


Is there a way to do this? I can't find a similar block in the default blocks, to compare it to.

I couldn't find anything on his blog about creating specific blocks, searched the Concrete5 section.

I think all I need to know is what to put in the anchor tag. I have this:

<a href="<?php echo  View::url('/', $controller->getFileID()) ?>" class="collection-act-container style1">
        <p class="collection-title">
        <?php echo $years?>
        </p>
        <p class="collection-act">View Collection</p>
    </a>


Any suggestions? Guidance? Thank you!

Check out the docs here:http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/understanding-and-bu...

The link to the basic block template should show you how it's done -- just add another field or two and change the names to match what you want.

Good luck!
