Summary

SilverStripe 3 saw the creation of new way to manage content. One of these ways was the Blocks module. With the release of SilverStripe 4, Elemental is now the preferred "Block" type module for managing sets of flexible content. This module aims to make migrating from the Blocks module to Elemental a little easier.

This module provides a base task that is customisable to allow for additional blocks you may have created to be migrated to existing elements, or new elements you have created.

Requirements

• SilverStripe ^4.0
• SilverStripe Elemental ^2.0
• SilverStripe Blocks ^2.0
