Just having a go with the new Block List type. When specifying a custom view a 404 error is returned.
The documentation is very sparse about this configuration, so all I've done is copied the labelblock.editor.html view to my own folder /views/partials/blocklist/customviews/myblock.editor.html.
I suspect there is something more that is required but I'm not seeing anything in the documentation.
You then need to select this html file from the configuration of the block editor.
I haven't noticed this returns 404. I would recommend add a folder in App_Plugins where you place any custom view, but it should work in other locations as well like at root level.
I already know about that link as it is in the documentation which provides the example, but the html in the view isn't the issue, it cannot find the view. When selecting the view in the configuration it opens a tree showing the root of site which suggests the view can be placed anywhere.
Could you please read my latest responses in this thread?
I wrote I could reproduce the issue when placing the html view in ~/Views folder and that I have reported the issue on the Umbraco issue tracker: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/8890
For now I will suggest you place any custom views for block editor in~/App_Plugins folder.
I tried with a view placed at root level, which also seems to work though.
Specifying a custom view for Block configuration returns 404
Hello
Just having a go with the new Block List type. When specifying a custom view a 404 error is returned.
The documentation is very sparse about this configuration, so all I've done is copied the labelblock.editor.html view to my own folder /views/partials/blocklist/customviews/myblock.editor.html.
I suspect there is something more that is required but I'm not seeing anything in the documentation.
Thanks.
Hi
You can find information here regarding adding a custom view here: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Getting-Started/Backoffice/Property-Editors/Built-in-Property-Editors/Block-List-Editor/#write-your-own-html-view
You then need to select this html file from the configuration of the block editor.
I haven't noticed this returns 404. I would recommend add a folder in App_Plugins where you place any custom view, but it should work in other locations as well like at root level.
Furthermore you might need the add the the class
blockelement__draggable-elementif you want the custom views to be soetable: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/8873/Bjarne

I'll give it a go with adding it to App_Plugins.
I haven't noticed it isn't possible to select a custom view for the block.
Do you see any error in the block list configuration or in the content section in the block list editor?
Hi
You're not understanding what I'm saying.
I can select view as i've said, however the view that is selected creates 404 when viewing the edit page in the umbraco backoffice.
However as you've discovered it works in the App_Plugins folder i'll try that.
Thanks.
