[3.x] How to render nested blocks from settings block?

[tijsbakker]

Hi @haringsrob,

I have a settings section called footer.info containing a block editor called downloads. This all works fine in the CMS, but I can't seem to render the blocks from the editor within a blade template in any way.

The settings documentation states: Get the full block model for the settings. This is especially useful if you have a block editor in the settings and you need to render those.

From the nested-block documentation I get that now I should do something like $renderData->renderChildren('downloads'). The $renderData isn't available within my blade component so I should do something like:

$this->info = \TwillAppSettings::getGroupDataForSectionAndName('footer','info');

$renderData = new \A17\Twill\Services\Blocks\RenderData($this->info, 'info', $this->info->children->toArray());

To which I receive an exception: Attempt to read property "renderData" on array.

I don't get this at all, please help and thanks in advance!

Hey @tijsbakker

Sorry for the late reply, but this was not yet properly implemented.

I added the feature in #1988
