Martin Anderson-Clutz - @mandclu Layout Builder Plus

  • Brief description:
    • Have you ever wanted to make Layout Builder easier and more intuitive for content creators? There are a few modules that can help with that, but today we're going to talk about one called Layout Builder Plus
  • Brief history
    • How old: Originally created in Apr 2022
    • Versions available: 2.0.1 release, compatible with Drupal 10 and 11
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained, latest release just a week ago
    • Number of open issues: 2, both bugs, but both marked as fixed
  • Usage stats:
    • 9 sites
  • Maintainer(s):
    • Tim Bozeman of Tag1
  • Module features and usage
    • Provides an overhaul of the Layout Builder UI, to make it easier for content creators:
    • Show a curated list of promoted blocks with icons, with lesser-used blocks available in a separate tab
    • Once a block is placed it shows automatically generated content, instead of asking the user to fill out a form before they can see what it will look like
    • Editing the content of a block happens in an overlay instead of the settings tray, so it can use more of the screen
    • Moves the Save Layout and other action buttons to the bottom of the page
    • Also adds some nice capabilities to Layout Builder, including:
    • Drag and drop entire sections
    • Change the layout of an existing section, even if it has blocks in it
    • Clone and update existing blocks
    • Finally, it includes a submodule to integrate with the Section Library module, which allows for a section within a layout to be saved so it can be reused again and again
    • I'll also note that this is a module nominated by one of our listeners in the #talkingdrupal channel of the Drupal slack workspace, so if there's a module you'd like to hear about in this segment, drop us a note in there
