A few versions ago, Optimizely CMS added inline blocks functionality. This is a very useful feature which enables the Editor to create dynamic pages using ContentArea. The publishing cycle of blocks is related to the page on which they are used, so editing has become very easy. In this article, I wanted to describe a small improvement that makes it easier to work with language versions. Extension allows copying inline blocks when translating pages.
Date property editor

The Optimizely CMS has built-in DateTime property. When editing, the Editor selects both the date and the time. Sometimes we would like to configure only the date selection, e.g. for calendar events, employee-related dates, article release date etc. Therefore, I have prepared a simple date property editor.

In this article, I will show simple code that allow to replace linked content with other content selected by the Editor. When deleting content whose references are used by other content, the Editor is shown a dialog box with a list of references. The Editor has the option to visit the page or block where the deleted content is used. However, it would be much more convenient to be able to replace the deleted content with another content selected from the list of pages.
