Some noob questions

Hello,

I guees I misunderstand some basic concepts.

-How to modify an existing block?

Imagine I have a site with different images and want display this images in one of this image display block elements. But this source page contains some pictures for site navigation too. Normaly I would use some kind of XMLHttpRequest and use a RegEx on the sourcecode to get only the needed image.

Same with the RSS Feed Reader, how to get only the subsriptions?

-How to get the output?

For example how to get the output from the RSS Reader in some useable output box, or something like this?

Hi Peter - you can't modify an existing block, per se, but you can copy it (or rip it, as we say) and modify your copied version. You can do this by going to your My page and clicking the Create a Block link on the left hand side.

You can use a handful of methods on our environment object to grab the data from any URL, and then you can certainly do whatever you want to to the contents of the data after you've received it. There is an SDK for block builders which documents this in much more detail. You'll find it in our block creation tool.

Thanks,
Aaron
