Creating simple textarea block
Permalink
Is there a way to create a simple textarea block, without using the text editor interface? Something extremely simple, no bells and whistles, just an area for inputting a block of text/paragraphs?
not thats premade, you can always take the bbcode helper and just take away the bbcode
In the dashboard you can customize the way the text editor toolbar looks. You should be able to pair it down to the very basics.
have a look here:

There's an HTML block included in concrete5. It's just a big text area that you can add HTML into.
If you want the block to take care of line breaks, etc... without having to add HTML, try download the Markdown block from the marketplace. The syntax is pretty simple and you can add line breaks, etc...

another good option. I was looking for something to just change the text of a fixed, pre-styled header without allowing the user to mess with HTML. ;)
Used above plain-text-block and patched view.php and scrapbook.php to just include this:
did the job for me.
