Here is short video about this new feature - Builder. Builder allows to easily add/edit blocks on your website and change their display order in visual mode.


By means of this feature you can quickly select content for your blocks - scripts, widgets, menus, video, audio, RSS, HTML code.
This feature is installed by default for all new websites. If your website was created before the global update you can enable Builder in Control Panel -> Common settings -> Use "Builder" for the website design customization.



Minor Builder Update


If the Builder option is missing on your Admin Bar, you need to go to the website Control Panel -> Users -> User groups -> Administrators -> Other, and enable the option "Edit site design".

After the update there will be two separate options in the user group permissions:



  • Edit site design: the option is disabled by default for all groups. Enabling of the option allows to access templates via the website, without the necessity to log in to the Control Panel. The templates are available by the address yoursite.ucoz.com/tmpls
  • Use Builder: the option is enabled by default for Administrators. Allows to use Builder and adds the Builder tab to the Admin Bar:



Note: if you disable the option "Use Builder" and enable "Edit site design", and then also disable the option "Use "Builder" for the website design customization" in Control Panel -> Settings -> Common settings, the Design tab will appear on your Admin Bar and you will be able to access all website templates or separate page templates via the Admin Bar:

akash19, CP -> Customize Design -> select a template -> click "Restore default template" in the top right corner. You can also simply reselect your design in Common Settings. Also note that you will lose all design modifications after restoring.

Yes, there is. Reselect the design in Common Settings. But you'll lose all design modifications in this case. Create a templates backup, then restore the design and see whether the builder will work.

Yeah, can I ask one question, I deleted some stuff from the builder, and from what I learned, some of thats stuff is required for all modules to work right, I know the site map, categories and stuff is needed, but what else is needed?

Dawgg, he meant restoration of templates. This can be done in Control Panel -> Customize Design. You can also add the missing blocks via Builder manually.

Almost everything. Just think twice before you delete anything.

Dawgg, add the blocks manually via Builder and you will not lose design modifications.

Calm down. Try to re-log via old url. And try adding block again.
Remember, calendar will work only if you have Site News module installed.

Tks,it's very helpful!!!
