No, there is no limit to the number of blocks that can be added (other than phusical size of the database).

Is this what you mean, (taken from the FAQ at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/global-content-blocks/faq/)

Is it possible to modify the output of inserted content blocks?

Yes, you can add the filter ‘gcb_block_output’ to modify output by adding a PHP script to functions.php, for example:
add_filter(‘gcb_block_output’, ‘alter_block_output’);
function alter_block_output($value) {
//process the output here, e.g., convert text to lowercase
$new_value = strtolower($value);
return “Processed output: “.$new_value;
}

Love the plugin.. one feature I am missing.. a way to pass a paramter to the block..

Let’s say my block contains the text: “Name:[name]”

It would be nice if I could call it with [contentblock id=1 name=alex]

And the output would be: Name:Alex

Do you know of any plugin that can do this?

Brilliant!
It’s a good alternative for getting custom field values, for some applications.

Is there any limit to how many content blocks can be handled, either at the admin page, TinyMCE or when the final page is created? I have a potential application that could use a large number.

You can?t use TEXTAREA in forms.
After using it in add block editor ? the rest of the form stays uneditable.
(Content field cuts the code just before TEXTAREA closing tag.)
Could you please repair it?

The plugin was not written with multisite in mind so no, this functionality has not been included. Sorry

Excellent plugin. Just one question about the PHP function: will this be enabled for all users when the plugin is activated? Or can it be switched off for everybody below Super Admin(on a WP multisite)? This to prevent obvious security risks.. Thanks!

i was unable to submit my question through the FAQ thing — kept getting an error

is it possible to mix html and php?
i know very little about php, but this is what i’m trying to do…

Read Me File

so the first part is a css class to collapse the content until the user clicks the expand link
the second part is the php which i want to include the contents of the ReadMe file
