In the Layouts editor

  1. Open Layouts > Layouts and the layout Landing Page / Home; the editor opens it in a draft.
  2. Open the block palette (+ at the top left) and drag Quote (group Components) into the zone main.
  3. Select the block, open the Design tab and fill Quote text, Author, Source and Alignment (default left).
  4. Publish layout. The pages that use the layout show the block on their next view.

The standard template writes <div class="slb slb-quote quote-<alignment>">.

With templates

  1. Copy extension/explayouts/design/standard/templates/explayouts/block/quote.tpl to extension/mysite/design/media/templates/explayouts/block/quote.tpl and change your copy; every block of that type changes on every layout (How a block maps to its templates). For example to add a <cite> around the source.

Which to choose

The block for the quote itself; the override when every quote on the site should look different.

Check

  • quote-left (or your alignment) in the markup.
