Matrix Block Anchor for Craft CMS

Matrix Block Anchor gives your editors anchor links straight to Matrix Blocks, no developer required. It grabs the block ID itself, sticks a copy button beside it, and that's your job done.

Features

• Automatic Anchor Generation – Grabs the Matrix Block ID and builds the anchor for you, no developer required
• Custom Anchor Support – Let editors set their own readable anchors (#about-us, #pricing-section) instead of the auto-generated ones
• SEO-Friendly - Descriptive anchor text helps your SEO, and the links stay put even when content gets reordered
• Configurable Prefix – Change the anchor prefix (blockIdAnchor by default) to whatever suits your own conventions
• Validation Built-in - Anchor IDs must start with a letter, contain only valid characters, and stay unique within an entry
• Easy Integration – Drops straight into any Matrix block type, no fuss
• Copy to Clipboard - One click and the link's on the clipboard, ready to paste wherever it's needed
• Legacy Support – A setting for anyone upgrading from an older version, so your existing links don't break

Perfect For

• Matrix-based page builders
• Long-form content with a table of contents
• Single-page sites with section navigation
• Documentation and help centres
• Landing pages with anchor-based navigation
