Requirements

This module requires the following modules:

Recommended modules

Installation

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. For further information, see Installing Drupal Modules.

Configuration

General usage

When adding a new views display for your block, choose 'Block with overrides'. Additional checkboxes for overriding contextual filters and exposing sort will be available at 'override settings'.

Autocomplete

If you add a validation criteria on an entity type on the contextual argument, that will trigger an autocomplete field on the block form.

Multiple contextual filters

When configuring multiple contextual filters, the grouping of these filters is done by an AND condition. If you want to change the condition to OR, we suggest you use the Views Contextual Filters OR module.

Usage with Paragraphs

Used in combination with a block field, this gives a lot of flexibility for usage with Paragraphs.

Usage with Layout Builder

This gives a lot of flexibility for usage with Layout Builder.
