Add blocks to favorites/tags/show by block

Currently if you have multiple/all the extensions it becomes a very time consuming, and annoying task to search through theme by theme for a block you want to use.

Without putting too much thought into this, I see 3 solutions that could help solve this problem.

1) Create a way to add blocks to favorites.
In this way users could start the blocks they use most frequently, like the style of, or see a component they may want to use later on in their project but are not ready for at this time (ex: editing another page).
I did notice there are custom user blocks that can kind of be used in the same way but I've had some issues with them disappearing and/or not working properly when inserted from the custom blocks section. I also feel that custom blocks should be reserved for specifically that, custom blocks.

2) Custom tagging ability
Another solution is to allow the app user to add custom tags to blocks. This process would definitely be longer since it's not as simple as clicking a star but instead requires you to add text, but in the end this could be a more functional feature allowing users to create different tags and narrow down results by searching multiple search terms. For example someone could tag a block: modern, light, header, banner
Results could be sorted by match strength with the most matching terms appearing at the top. Ideally the tags would also have a type-ahead or autocomplete while your searching or adding new ones to keep things more structured.

3) Show all themes by block
A suggestion I have seen floating around the forums is to have an option to display all installed theme blocks at once. I think having a check box, or settings option that reverse the block selection order from Theme -> Section to Section -> Theme would help users to be more productive in developing their pages. After all I'm not searching for a theme when I'm adding components to the page, I'm looking for a component that fits the page I'm building and that has the features I'm looking for.

Obviously a combination of all three would provide the most flexibility and address the needs of most users, but I think even just one of these solutions would increase productivity and improve user experience.


  • This is not time-consuming.
    See here, everything finely säuverlich and clearly compiled.
    Everything is up to date.
  • You sir are a good man!

    I still feel that this should be implemented directly into Mobirise so I don't need to have another website tab open to reference these and I can just drag and drop them right away instead of flipping back and forth between the app and website, and still changing themes in the process to pull the blocks.

    This is a very simple and effective solution for the time being, so I thank you greatly for the idea and reference!
  • Hello

    I disagree! You can not demand everything from the MBR developers, after all, it is left to your creativity, how and with what tools, with what blocks you design your page. Should you be presented with everything?

    Always only demand, always only want to have everything...and then of course in the free version, if MBR does that, then the prices explode, rightly if I may remark that.

    My overview I made for me to get a better overview, quick block selection.

    ps. MBR offers similar in its blocks.
    Must you just look more closely


    ich bin anderer Meinung! Alles kann man doch nicht von den MBR-Entwicklern verlangen, schließlich bleibt es doch deiner Kreativität überlassen, wie und mit welchen Hilfsmittel, mit welchen Blöcken du deine Seite gestaltest. Soll man dir denn alles vorlegen, vorkauen?

    Immer nur fordern, immer nur alles haben wollen...und dann natürlich in der kostenlosen Version, wenn MBR das macht, dann explodieren die Preise, zu Recht wenn ich das bemerken darf.

    Meine Übersicht habe ich für mich gemacht, um einen besseren Überblick, schnelle Blockauswahl zu bekommen.

    ps. MBR bietet in seinen Blöcken ja ähnliches an.
    Must du halt mal genauer schauen
