Content Blocks Gui: Building Content Blocks Visually

Kickstart, edit, and share Content Blocks without touching YAML (a live demo)

Content Blocks have changed how we model content in TYPO3 — but hand-writing YAML still slows day-to-day work, and onboarding new editors and integrators takes longer than it should.

The Content Blocks GUI is a new TYPO3 backend module that puts a visual editor on top of friendsoftypo3/content-blocks. In this session, I'll demo it live: we'll create a Content Element from scratch, build a Record Type with its own table, define a Page Type, and assemble a reusable Basic, all by dragging fields, configuring properties through forms, and letting the GUI write the YAML for you. We'll also cover nested Collections and Palettes, base field reuse, and the import/export workflow: package a Content Block as a ZIP, share it, and re-import it elsewhere with built-in conflict detection.
