If you are using **Kirby 3**, please install [v1.1.2](https://github.com/junohamburg/kirby-visual-block-selector/releases/tag/1.1.2). Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Download [](#download) Download and copy this repository to `/site/plugins/kirby-visual-block-selector`. ### Composer [](#composer) ``` composer require junohamburg/kirby-visual-block-selector ``` ### Git submodule [](#git-submodule) ``` git submodule add https://github.com/junohamburg/kirby-visual-block-selector.git site/plugins/kirby-visual-block-selector ``` Setup ----- [](#setup) 1. Create the block preview images in 480×270 pixel. The images are displayed in a fixed aspect ratio of 16/9. 2. Create the folder `assets/block-previews`. 3. Save the images in the `assets/block-previews` folder with the same name as the block. For example, the preview image of `heading.yml` is `heading.png`. Any image format (png, jpg, gif, svg) should work. Tip: You can define fieldset groups for the `blocks` field: [Kirby docs](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/blocks#defining-fieldsets__groups) **⚠️ Please note:** If there are no preview images for a `blocks` field, the default Kirby block selector will be displayed.
