editing page blocks on pages NOT in page builder..

Is there a way to edit the position of page blocks for pages that are NOT listed in page builder...

For example, MY BLOG page

Blog categories are key to people being able to see what content is within the blog section. 

the category block is editable on the BLOGS HOME page. 

The only other blog page you can edit in page builder is VIEW POST

 

A key blog page that should be editable is MY BLOG especially for blog oriented sites. Viewers who follow a blog, can view an individual blog, see the category block for different content type, but its down the page... I need to move it to the top as a useable filter!!!

 

 

Any ideas?

Which Blog Page are you talking about since some are in the builder.

 Not sure what your saying here. [edit] Are you wanting to move the "categories" selector up the "add" page?

The block can be moved in the page builder section "Blog Post View."

BLOG VIEW - the page where you can view a whole blog.

 

The only 2 pages that are in my page builder for blogs are BLOG HOME and BLOG POST VIEW

this is different to blog view though... thats the main one for each blog and should be in page builder!

This was sort of answered here: http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Adding-Pages-to-PAGE-BUILDER.htm

The guy never came back to answer the last question so that was the end of the topic.  As Deano stated on that topic, not every page is designed to be used by the page builder.  Your answer might be in editing template files.  I am thinking you are talking about the page that shows a members blog with the posts the person has made.  I am guessing that page is not going be able to be added to the page builder and will require editing the code that generates the page or the template files.  Do you have coding skills?  If so, poke around in the Blog module.

Yeah, that link doesnt really give anything though, the guy just says he needs to edit a page thats not in builder but doesnt say which one!

 

All I need to do is move the blog post category block to the top of the column in the Blog View (not blog post view) page.

Will do some digging around in the blog code see if I can figure it out....

That page is generated by code.  In the BxBlogsModule.php, find this code:

        return $sBlogActionsSect . $sActionsSect . $sDescriptionSect . $sCategoriesSect . $sFeaturedSect . $sTagsSect;

While I don't know if that is for that particular page or not, that is how the page is constructed.  There is code for each that will generate the block, and then it is stored in the variable for the block; in the above, the categories block is $sCategoriesSect.  If you wanted to move the block on that particular page, whatever it might be as I an not saying it is the correct one because I did not really check, you would move $sCategoriesSect before the $sActionsSect like so:
 

        return $sBlogActionsSect . $sCategoriesSect . $sActionsSect . $sDescriptionSect  . $sFeaturedSect . $sTagsSect;

 

Just dig around in the blogs module scripts and see if you can find the correct one for the page you are interested in.

I have a a similar, yet possibly easier question.  How do I add the blogs caetgoried block (which is on the view post page) to the main blogs page? And if possible, the featured blogs block too.  

Thanks in advance!
