Legal Block Generator

This module provides a configurable block that can serve as a footer.

Configuration

The block can be configured when adding it to the desired layout region. The configuration is grouped into different templates, which conist of:

• links: These include links that are shown on the block.
• logos: These are the logos that are shown on the block.

Custom Templates

The module already comes with some default configurations, but you can also define a template set that better fits your needs. To do so, just create a templates.yaml file in public://dis_legal_block (public:// usually translates to /sites/default/files/) and stick to the template defined in this modules' /config/isntall/dis_legal_block.templates.yml.

The logos you use in the logos section should be located in the corresponding directory in public://dis_legal_block.

Take this templates.yaml as an example:

logos:
  ReturnToMonkey:
    - image: monkey1.png
      alt: Monkey
      url: "https://monkey.com"
      height: 185
    - image: monkey2.png
      alt: Monkey
      url: "https://monkey.com"
      height: 185
    - image: monkey3.png
      alt: Monkey
      url: "https://monkey.com"
      height: 185

Note: Logos that are first in the yaml als come first in the block.

Then your file tree should look like this:

dis_legal_block
    ├── ReturnToMonkey
    │   ├── monkey1.png
    │   ├── monkey2.png
    │   └── monkey3.png
    └── templates.yaml

If you wish to reuse shipped logos like the CDI logo, just copy them to a custom template folder and use them accordingly.

Remarks:

The block HTML is generated on block save. So in case the module gets updated the routine would be:

1. Update the code via git or composer if available.
2. drush cr since that rebuilds the Twig caches to use the updated template.
3. Save the block to rebuild the HTML using the new Twig template.

Generally: In case the block is empty after saving just drush cr and save the block again.
