Changing HTML blocks to Content Blocks
Permalink
Without thinking, I built out a site using all html blocks. Now that the client wants to edit them, I realized I should've built it out using all content blocks. Is there an easy way to switch this? maybe in the database?
not in the database, I would either make a script (advanced) or just c&p the html
Well how do you like that?
I just created a nice how-to on how to do the kind of moving from one block to another that you are talking about (in my case I moved a bunch of material inside the standard Contact block to a Content block that I created which is much better than the one with TinyMCE).
No need to create a script or anything.
Just export your database as is to a dump sql file, go in and search and replace some things, and then run the changed sql on your database.
Easy as pie.
If you follow the instructions.
I am not ready to make my how-to available publicly just yet but give me a couple of days to post it at my site and I will post a link here.
