PageBuilder

Deactivate Page Builder

While you cannot disable Page Builder for a specific CMS Page or Block, you can disable Page Builder for CMS Pages only or CMS Blocks only. This can be useful for when you want to use Page Builder to create new CMS Pages, but don't want Page Builder to change your existing CMS Blocks. For example, you may have CMS Blocks that you created before installing Page Builder with Magento Commerce 2.3.1+ and you don't want Page Builder to wrap your block content within a row as it does by default (which adds div tags that may affect your block designs). This example module shows you how to do just that.

Installation and usage

These steps assume you have already cloned the pagebuilder-examples repo to the root of your Magento instance, as described in Installing the example modules:

1. Navigate to to the app/code/ directory and create a symlink using the following command:

   ln -s ../../pagebuilder-examples/Deactivate

2. From the Magento root directory, run the setup:upgrade command to install and enable the module:

   bin/magento setup:upgrade

3. Navigate to a CMS Block page and view the WYSIWYG editor without Page Builder.

   

Discussion

By default, this module disables Page Builder for CMS Blocks (cms_block_form.xml). The module also includes the Dynamic Blocks form (banner_form.xml) and Pages form (cms_block_form.xml) to show how you can disable Page Builder for those areas as well:

With Magento's XML merging, the module simply adds is_pagebuilder_enabled (boolean) to the Admin's content form fields for Blocks, Dynamic Blocks, and Pages, as shown here:

<form xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd">
    <fieldset name="general">
        <field name="content" formElement="wysiwyg">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="wysiwygConfigData" xsi:type="array">
                        <!-- Enable and disable Page Builder here -->
                        <item name="is_pagebuilder_enabled" xsi:type="boolean">false</item>
                    </item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </field>
    </fieldset>
</form>
