CMS elements

The plugin ships with a set of elements that you can assemble in Shopping Experiences. You will find all of them in the Add block dialog under the Blog (PremSoft) tab.

Universal showcase blocks

You can use these three blocks anywhere — on the home page, landing pages, category pages or inside your magazine. They surface articles exactly where your customers need them.

Block	Shows	Configuration
Blog – Latest posts	The latest active posts.	Number of posts 1–50.
Blog – Posts by category	Posts from a specific blog category.	Category plus number of posts.
Blog – Selected posts	Manually selected posts in the order you choose.	Multi-select list of posts.

All three blocks use the same card design as the magazine overview, so recommendation areas blend into the rest of the shop.

Blocks for the magazine overview

These blocks are made for the magazine overview category from Quickstart, step 2.

Block	Shows
Blog – Article list	The main article listing with pagination and sorting.
Blog – Filter	Filter form with multi-select for category, tag and author.

Blocks for article detail pages

Use these single-purpose blocks in the default article detail layout and rearrange them as needed.

Block	Shows
Blog – Title	Article title with category badge, subtitle and meta line.
Blog – Subtitle	The subtitle on its own.
Blog – Short description	The lead text in larger type.
Blog – Content	The main content with headings, lists, quotes and code blocks.
Blog – Preview image	The hero image at the top of the page.
Blog – Image gallery	Additional images as a gallery with lightbox support.
Blog – Author	Author card with avatar, name and link to the author profile.
Blog – Categories	Clickable category badges.
Blog – Tags	Tag badges.
Blog – Linked products	Product slider with the linked products.
Blog – Review stars	Aggregated star rating plus review count.
Blog – Review list	List of approved reviews.
Blog – Review form	Input form for new reviews.

The three review blocks appear only when reviews are enabled in the plugin configuration and you use the premium plan.

Blocks for author pages

Use these blocks on the authors overview layout and on individual author pages.

Block	Shows
Blog – Authors list	Card overview of all authors, sorted by last name.
Blog – A-Z authors filter	Alphabet bar for filtering the authors list by last name.
Blog – Author details	Combined element with name, image and description.
Blog – Author name	Name only.
Blog – Author image	Image only.
Blog – Author description	Description only.

Create your own layouts

You can build custom Shopping Experiences for your blog content:

1

Open Content → Shopping Experiences → New

2

Choose the right page type — for article detail pages this is Blog page (PremSoft), while the magazine and authors overviews use a regular category page

3

Assemble the required blocks from the Blog (PremSoft) tab

4

Set the layout as the default in the plugin configuration, or assign it per article in the Visibility tab

As long as you do not assign a custom layout to an article, the plugin uses the configured default layout. You can therefore stay entirely with the bundled layouts if they already fit your use case.
