Feature suggestion: Insertion of blocks in Pages articles

[Editorn]

Hi,

As far as I know, there is not an easy way to include blocks in database entries. In our install (and possibly others 😊), there are several occasions when adding blocks to articles would be very useful:

1. Inserting custom ads in custom locations of the article
2. Inserting a block with sponsors of specific articles
3. In an expanding series of articles within a topic, a block with links to the different parts would take away a huge amount of editing when new parts are published

One way of doing it would be to include a button in the text editor that brings up a list with the available custom blocks, similar to the way you browse for available Custom Blocks in the Blocks Manager on the live page. But I'd also be happy to just paste the block key in a field. Any improvement in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

This is certainly something I'd get behind.  It would vastly improve monetization on articles and even help with readers as you can simply add a block of additional information through your news or whatever.
