Template Library & Marketplace
Template Library & Marketplace
The fastest way to build a page is to start from one that already exists.
Press Templates & blocks in the page editor (or Start from a template on an empty page, or Browse all in the Template tab). One dialog, three tabs.
The three tabs
| Tab | Contains | Import does |
|---|---|---|
| My library | Page templates on this site — 55 seeded from real pages | Applies the template to your page |
| Marketplace | The central catalog from storeconsole.com | Installs it into My library |
| Blocks | 19 saved single sections | Appends that one section to the page |
Every card shows a real preview image. Hover a card and the preview scrolls its full length, so you can judge a whole layout without opening anything. Cards with no imagery show an icon instead.
Select a card, then press Import — a deliberate two-step, because importing changes page content and the second press is your chance to change your mind. Clicking a selected card again deselects it.
Placement: a template does not have to take over the page
When the page already has blocks, the dialog offers where the template lands:
| Mode | Effect |
|---|---|
| After existing (default) | Template blocks go after what is already there |
| Before existing | Your blocks shift down; the template takes the top |
| Replace page | Wipes the page — the only mode that asks first |
So you can build a page with your own slider, drop a full template underneath it, delete the parts you do not want, and keep the rest. Only Replace page adopts the template's page style; the additive modes leave your styling alone.
Block presets always append, so the control does not appear on that tab.
Marketplace
The marketplace is the shared catalog served from storeconsole.com: page templates, block presets, header and footer layouts and email templates. 129 items ship today, all free.
- Items you already have show an Installed badge and cannot be installed twice — find your copy under My library. (Delete the local copy if you want to pull a fresh one.)
- Installing copies the template's images into your own storage, so an installed template keeps working even if the marketplace is unreachable later.
- If the marketplace is down or switched off, the dialog says so quietly and your local library keeps working normally.
Premium items
Most of the catalog is free. An item that is part of a premium pack shows a crown, and Import stays disabled until the site has template access — through a subscription, a licence key, or an administrator override. The rule is enforced on the server as well as in the interface.
Where the seeded templates come from
Page templates are captured from pages this install actually has, so a template always matches something you can look at. Re-running the seeders refreshes them in place:
php artisan db:seed --class="StoreConsole\PageBuilder\Database\Seeders\PageTemplateLibrarySeeder" --force
php artisan db:seed --class="StoreConsole\PageBuilder\Database\Seeders\BlockLibrarySeeder" --force
