Building Custom Blocks and Templates for MTBuilder

Extending the Visual Page Builder

MTBuilder runs on a high-performance Virtual DOM state engine that separates design-time dragging configurations from raw public-facing rendering. Third-party developers can extend the visual editor toolbar by registering custom visual elements or grid templates via the JS core API MTBuilder.registerBlock(blockType, config). For visual drag-and-drop component extensions, see the MTBuilder Visual Page Builder Guide.

Custom Block Registration Example

Create a custom Javascript file inside your plugin assets:

MTBuilder.registerBlock('crm_lead_form', {\n    name: 'CRM Lead Form',\n    icon: 'fa fa-user-plus',\n    group: 'crm_integrations',\n    acceptChildren: false,\n    settingsSchema: [\n        { key: 'formId', label: 'CRM Form', type: 'select', options: { '1': 'Standard Subscription Form' }, default: '1' }\n    ],\n    render: function(node, renderChild, isFrontend) {\n        const el = document.createElement('div');\n        const formId = node.settings.formId || '1';\n        if (isFrontend) {\n            el.innerHTML = '<iframe src="/admin/leads/form/' + formId + '" width="100%" height="450px" frameborder="0"></iframe>';\n        } else {\n            el.innerHTML = '<div class="tw-p-8 tw-text-center"><h4>Perfex CRM Lead Form</h4></div>';\n        }\n        return el;\n    }\n});

Developer Hooks & Filters

MTBuilder features a robust extensibility architecture integrated with the core PolyCMS Hooks API. Developers can utilize these hooks to intercept visual layouts, customize the editor, or append assets dynamically:

• PHP Filters: polycms_post_content (transform visual layout HTML) and polycms_the_content (parse custom blocks safely).
• PHP Actions: polycms_head (frontend style registration), polycms_plugin_activated (seeding templates database), and app_admin_footer (enqueue active builder script).
• JS Sidebar Filters: sidebar_groups (custom toolbar categories) and sidebar_blocks (custom settings schemas).
