Magento 2 – How to Get CMS Block Title

cms-blockmagento2static-block

In my custom theme I have placed a cms block in a .phtml file like this:

<div class="data item content" id="footer-impressum-tab" data-role="content">
    <?php echo $block->getLayout()->createBlock('Magento\Cms\Block\Block')->setBlockId('footer_impressum')->toHtml();?>
</div>

How can I get the CMS block title in Magento 2?

In magento 1.x I was using the following code:

$blockid = 'my-block-id';
$block = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->load($blockid);
echo $block->getTitle();

Out of the box you cannot retrieve the block title.

What you'll have to do is:

First, create your own block class that extends Magento\Cms\Block\Block

Optional: if you want the getTitle method to be available for every static block you can setup a preference by creating a etc/di.xml with the following content:

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <preference for="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" type="Vendor\Module\Block\Cms\Block" />
</config>

Then, change your code with the following:

$myCmsBlock = $block->getLayout()->createBlock('Vendor\Module\Block\Cms\Block')->setBlockId('footer_impressum');
$blockTitle = $myCmsBlock->getTitle();
echo $myCmsBlock->toHtml();?>

Where Vendor\Module\Block\Cms\Block is the class you have created to rewrite the original class.

Then create your Vendor\Module\Block\Cms\Block class with the following content:

<?php

namespace Vendor\Module\Block\Cms;

class Block extends \Magento\Cms\Block\Block
{

    protected $_blockRepository;

    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Context $context,
        \Magento\Cms\Model\Template\FilterProvider $filterProvider,
        \Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        \Magento\Cms\Model\BlockFactory $blockFactory,
        \Magento\Cms\Api\BlockRepositoryInterface $blockRepository,
        array $data = []
    ) {
        parent::__construct($context, $filterProvider, $storeManager, $blockFactory, $data);
        $this->_blockRepository = $blockRepository;
    }

    public function getTitle()
    {
         $blockId = $this->getBlockId();
         $title = "";
         if ($blockId) {
             $block = $this->_blockRepository->getById($blockId);
             $title = $block->getTitle();
         }
         return $title;
    }
}

Magento – Magento 2.0.x – Insert block in to the product page

(1) first create a new module with a custom eav for your product content (this is just the InstallData.php content):

<?php namespace <vendor>\<module_name>\Setup;

use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetup;
use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;


/**
 * @codeCoverageIgnore
 */
class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{
    /**
     * EAV setup factory
     *
     * @var EavSetupFactory
     */
    private $eavSetupFactory;

    /**
     * Init
     *
     * @param EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory
     */
    public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory)
    {
        $this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
        /* assign object to class global variable for use in other class methods */
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     * @SuppressWarnings(PHPMD.ExcessiveMethodLength)
     */
    public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
    {
        $setup->startSetup();
        /** @var EavSetup $eavSetup */
        $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);

        /**
         * Add attributes to the eav/attribute
         */
        $eavSetup->addAttribute(
            \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY,
            'my_attribute',
            [
                'type' => 'text',
                'backend' => '',
                'frontend' => '',
                'label' => 'my custom content',
                'input' => 'textarea',
                'class' => '',
                'source' => '',
                'global' => 1,
                'visible' => true,
                'required' => false,
                'user_defined' => true,
                'default' => 0,
                'searchable' => false,
                'filterable' => false,
                'comparable' => false,
                'visible_on_front' => false,
                'used_in_product_listing' => true,
                'wysiwyg_enabled' => true, // if you want a wysiwyg editor
                'unique' => false,
                'apply_to' => 'simple,configurable,virtual,bundle,downloadable,grouped',
                'group' => 'General'
            ]
        );
        $setup->endSetup();
    }
}

(2) in the module extend catalog_product_view.xml to insert your attribute: [I added mine as a new product tab]

<referenceBlock name="product.info.details">
    <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Description" name="{SOME_NAME}" template="product/view/attribute.phtml" group="detailed_info">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="at_call" xsi:type="string">getMyAttribute</argument>
            <argument name="at_code" xsi:type="string">my_attribute</argument>
            <argument name="css_class" xsi:type="string">{some class if you like}</argument>
            <argument name="at_label" xsi:type="string">none</argument>
            <argument name="title" translate="true" xsi:type="string">My tab label</argument>
        </arguments>
    </block>
</referenceBlock>

(3) now you can go to your magento admin and insert custom content (even html) into the attribute content like for every other attribute

Magento 2 – Add New Field to Magento_User Admin Form

For adding image field, you can try using plugin and always try to avoid overwrite whole class.

Vendor/Module/etc/adminhtml/di.xml


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\User\Block\User\Edit\Tab\Main">
        <plugin name="sr_stackexchange_user_form" type="Vendor\Module\Plugin\Block\Adminhtml\User\Edit\Tab\Main" sortOrder="1"/>
    </type>
</config>

Vendor/Module/Plugin/Block/Adminhtml/User/Edit/Tab/Main.php


namespace Vendor\Module\Plugin\Block\Adminhtml\User\Edit\Tab;

class Main
{
    /**
     * Get form HTML
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function aroundGetFormHtml(
        \Magento\User\Block\User\Edit\Tab\Main $subject,
        \Closure $proceed
    )
    {
        $form = $subject->getForm();
        if (is_object($form)) {
            $fieldset = $form->addFieldset('admin_user_image', ['legend' => __('User Image')]);
            $fieldset->addField(
                'user_image',
                'image',
                [
                    'name' => 'user_image',
                    'label' => __('Image'),
                    'id' => 'user_image',
                    'title' => __('Image'),
                    'required' => false,
                    'note' => 'Allow image type: jpg, jpeg, png'
                ]
            );

            $subject->setForm($form);
        }

        return $proceed();
    }
}
