Create custom templates for Concrete CMS block types. Use this skill when you need to change the markup of an existing block type without modifying its core files.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Building Block Templates
Custom templates allow you to override the default view of a block type. This is useful for styling blocks to match your theme or adding specific functionality.
## Basic Workflow: Static Markup to Custom Template
1. **Identify the Block Type**: Determine which block type you want to create a template for (e.g., `autonav`, `content`, `image`).
2. **Find the Default Template**:
- Locate the original `view.php` for the block. Usually in `concrete/blocks/block_handle/view.php`.
- **DO NOT** modify this file.
3. **Create the Custom Template File**:
- Create a new file in your theme or package:
- Theme: `application/themes/your_theme/blocks/block_handle/templates/your_custom_template_name.php`
- Package: `packages/your_package/blocks/block_handle/templates/your_custom_template_name.php`
4. **Insert Static Markup**: Paste your static HTML markup into the new file.
5. **Inject Dynamic Data**:
- Open the original `view.php` you found in step 2.
- Identify the variables used (e.g., `$controller`, `$bID`, `$content`).

How to install
mdr add macareuxdigital/concretecms-skills/building-block-templates@sha256:1a24aad3848fc02cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.db96265, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
