1. Introduction to Blocks Constructor
Relying on native Prestashop functionality and interface, the extension supplies your stores
with static blocks for more content to be added. Leave the standard Prestashop template
and layout files unchanged and insert extra blocks instead when you need to come up with
ads or other vital information. Blocks are applicable to any frontend spot and easily
migratable according to admin’s wish.
Key features:
Adding blocks to any frontend spot. More than fifty hooks (page sections) exist in
Prestashop template, and blocks can be placed in all of them.
Inserting unlimited number of blocks
Creating blocks with text, images and links
Scheduling a virtual life of blocks - adjusting their starting and expiring dates
Ranging blocks order within hooks (page sections)
Quick block editing with WYSIWYG editor included
Overall information
You have a standard Prestashop template with a predefined structure of all elements. Do you
need to add advertising banners or announcements for your customers in the web-store?
You don’t have to remodel the basics of your template because you can make it easier with
Prestashop Blocks Constructor now.
It assists you in adding extra blocks to your store hooks (page sections), in which you are
free to insert text, images and links.
Point at a special offer in your store by adding the block with reminders for some time. Set its
starting and expiring date, and it will disappear automatically when the time goes off.
