Blocks with Multiple fields

Permalink
I am trying to create a custom block to all users to add testimonials with fields name, location and a text area. these will have a styled custom view.

What I want to do is have a single block that allows people to add another multiple testimonials (like power slide lite does). I can't see this in the block docs so wondered if anyone had managed it or it is a quite complex?

Does anyone know where I can find a block or how to create a block that has multiple entries ?

This might help:

But I don't think it's exactly what you're looking for -- can I ask why you don't want to just have one block per testimonial and then add a new block for each one?

I could do that, I just thought it would be more efficient with the DB to have one block with mutliple entries.

I can make a code block for testimonials though

If you're using a CMS (Concrete5 or otherwise) you have already lost so much efficiency with the database that worrying about something like this is pretty much irrelevant -- it's a drop in the bucket :)
