Linked blocks

Ask a Question

I'm creating a games site to show my 4 arcade games, each with its own block which includes a picture, title, text and a play and help button.
To get it to look right I've had to adjust all 4 block in all 5 device views.
Is there a way to do linked blocks which all have the same components, but different content so I can just modify the layout once per device? It seems rather manual.
Or, do you need to get your first block perfect and then copy it?

Hi,

Unfortunately, Nicepage does not support the option to save the existing block as preset. I suggest that you try copying the first block. Then change the block content.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for the reply.
The other problem I'm having is that the resizing of blocks is inconsistent across the 5 devices.
If I resize a block on one device to get rid of some white space it works fine.
If I resize a block on another device it wants to scale the elements, even though these is a big block of white space at the bottom of the block I'm trying to get rid off.

Hi,

Could you please provide a few screenshots that demonstrate the issue with block resizing.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've figured out what was going on. I had 3 components ending in the same place, the cell, grid and block. If I grab hold of the cell and shrink that first it works fine.

When you’re building a games site like this, adjusting the same layout again and again for every device can definitely feel tedious and manual. Ideally, linked or reusable blocks with the same structure but different content would save a lot of time and effort. In many builders, the practical approach is to perfect your first block across all device views and then duplicate it for the other games. This way, you only change images, text, and buttons while keeping the layout consistent. It’s not the most elegant system, but it’s efficient and keeps everything visually aligned, especially when managing tools or resources like nix injector.
