Matrix Block Anchor for Craft CMS
=================================

[](#matrix-block-anchor-for-craft-cms)

Matrix Block Anchor gives your editors anchor links straight to Matrix Blocks, no developer required. It grabs the block ID itself, sticks a copy button beside it, and that's your job done.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Automatic Anchor Generation** – Grabs the Matrix Block ID and builds the anchor for you, no developer required
- **Custom Anchor Support** – Let editors set their own readable anchors (`#about-us`, `#pricing-section`) instead of the auto-generated ones
- **SEO-Friendly** - Descriptive anchor text helps your SEO, and the links stay put even when content gets reordered
- **Configurable Prefix** – Change the anchor prefix (`blockIdAnchor` by default) to whatever suits your own conventions
- **Validation Built-in** - Anchor IDs must start with a letter, contain only valid characters, and stay unique within an entry
- **Easy Integration** – Drops straight into any Matrix block type, no fuss
- **Copy to Clipboard** - One click and the link's on the clipboard, ready to paste wherever it's needed
- **Legacy Support** – A setting for anyone upgrading from an older version, so your existing links don't break

-----------
