Features

Installation

To install your project, you must choose the method appropriate to your version of Volto.

Volto 17 and earlier

Create a new Volto project (you can skip this step if you already have one):

npm install -g yo @plone/generator-volto
yo @plone/volto my-volto-project --addon @redturtle/volto-blocks
cd my-volto-project

Add @redturtle/volto-blocks to your package.json:

"addons": [
    "@redturtle/volto-blocks"
],

"dependencies": {
    "@redturtle/volto-blocks": "*"
}

Download and install the new add-on by running:

yarn install

Start volto with:

yarn start

Volto 18 and later

Add @redturtle/volto-blocks to your package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "@redturtle/volto-blocks": "*"
}

Add @redturtle/volto-blocks to your volto.config.js:

const addons = ['@redturtle/volto-blocks'];
