Which file holds the content we add to blocks?
Permalink
Perhaps I've overlooked something (always a possibility!), but I'm trying to find the file that contains the content I've added to a block. Or, is the content located in a record within the C5 database? If the latter, how does one query the db to pull up that record?
I realize this defeats the purpose of Concrete5, but I just want to get a grip on the "assembly" of the C5 web pages I see before me on the monitor.

It is a database entry, however I am a bit lazy right now to read code and give you the exact piece.
Moongrab's right. 'Pages' don't exist anywhere until they are assembled by C5. Pages are 'collections' of individual blocks that you have added to the page when you edited it. C5 looks at various database tables to find out what blocks are supposed to go on the page and then it builds that page on the fly.
A simple block is a good way to explore this.
Remo's "Beginner's Guide" is a good place to look at constructing blocks from simple to rather complex with running commentary.

is another option, depending on how much you want to create on your own. The EBooks are cheap too.
