Building Blocks -- Need Some Help
Permalink
My brother found C5 and showed it to me. This CMS is by far my favorite. I am new to the world of structured programing. I am not that great at design yet (That is my brother's specialty), but I do love to code and learn new things... The problem is that I am either too new to this stuff, or I just don't learn from tutorials very well. I have coded a site from scratch and have incorporated a "block" that uploads and posts sermons for a church website. I would love to know how to make this into a block for C5 as part of learning how to develop for C5.
Maybe the IRC chat is the place for this, but I could not figure out how to connect.
I am really excited about becoming a developer on a large scale, and this CMS looks like the perfect client and developer solution.
Thanks!

Sorry it took so long to respond. It has been busy with the end of the semester. I will check out the the book... Hopefully I can get a digital edition. The theme part of it is pretty straight forward so far.
Thanks again for you help.

Concrete5 has an active IRC channel on FreeNode (/server irc.freenode.org). For connection infomation:
http://www.concrete5.org/community/chat/...
You just need an IRC client. There are a bunch of them, heck, Firefox even has a plugin called "Chatzilla"!
If you still have trouble connecting to IRC, give us a shout here and myself or someone else would be glad to help you... :)

I have not used mIRC in a long long time. Look here for information on how to use mIRC:
http://www.mirc.com/help.html
The server you need to use is irc.freenode.org
And the Channel is #concrete5
Good luck :)

Welcome to the C5 community! I too think C5 is the best CMS for many kinds of websites. As for your question, I think you would get a lot out of the new Concrete5 book that was just released:
http://www.packtpub.com/concrete5-beginners-guide/book...
Other than that book, I don't think there are any succinct tutorial-style walkthroughs of creating a block. Check out the C5 documentation and how-to's as there might be some good introductory things there. Another great resource is looking at the actual code of some of the built-in blocks as well as free blocks available in the marketplace (but this is much more difficult to learn from than following a tutorial, for sure).
Good luck!
