Does PW have Page Blocks?

[mrjasongorman]

I'm just wondering if there a way of creating block like functionality similar to say Episerver / drupal blocks??

I guess i could treat the template as a view that loads in sever partials (kinda like blocks) ??

Any ideas on this would be great.

Since the introduction of the delayed output I use this a lot:

You can make your own <?php echo $layout; ?> in the _main.php and feed it any blocks you want

You can easily build "blocks" yourself. Take a look at the RepeaterMatrix, PageTable or PageTableExtended.  Also check the new field rendering options.

example from a pagetableextended version for the admin UI and with templates as partials that rendered on the frontend side.
