Pages: You are using custom PHP blocks. These will no longer function in v5

[Andreas Grace]

I have this notification. So, I am using two custom blocks. One is plain HTML. The other one has some JavaScript and just a php echo to insert the script. Can I use this somehow in v5?

[Daniel F]

What's the reason for not using plain HTML to add your JS code to the code? There's no need for php ?! or is it some dynamic JS code which also requires php variables?

[Andreas Grace]

I think the php echo was used simply to insert the script. So I will try to save the javascript code in a .js file and insert it with plain HTML and see if this will make the warning go away.

[Andreas Grace]

It turns out the block contains more php code that actually does something. So probably we will convert the php code to JS.

The alternative of course would be to create an application for this

Or convert to PHP template code? Like {{$variable = 5;}} 
I assume this continues to work?

However, language strings are still exist: content_block_add_custom_type_php and content_block_add_custom_type_php_desc

Feel free to post that up within the v5 bug tracker

You may be best to ask questions like this in the v5 beta discussion area, rather than here
