How can I design custom content template with Divi?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I am trying to create a custom content template within Divi because it's much simpler than using Gutenberg. However, customizing designs for custom fields seems limited with Gutenberg.

Solution:

To use Divi for the template, switch to the classic view mode in Toolset settings. Follow these steps:

- Go to "Toolset > Settings > General".
- Check the "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface" option.
- Reload the page and access "Toolset > Views" to edit views.

Relevant Documentation:

- Enabling Legacy Version of Toolset Views

- Using Toolset with Divi

- Divi Plugin Highlight: Toolset Divi Integration

- Legacy Views details.

- Views Shortcodes

Everyone can read this forum, but only Toolset clients can post in it. Toolset support works 6 days per week, 19 hours per day.

I am trying to create a custom content template within Divi as it is so much easier to use than Gutenberg.

Especially customizing the design for custom fields is limited with Gutenberg.

Is there any easier way to do this with Divi?

Hi there,

It is possible to use Divi for the template, but you need to use the classic view mode so the Toolset related items will be available via shortcodes that you can integrate inside Divi.

- Go to "Toolset > Settings > General".
- Find the "Editing experience" section.
- Check the "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build" checkbox.
- Reload the browser page.
- Go to the newly added "Toolset > Views" menu.
- There you will be able to edit the views.

After that, please use the documentation below to learn how to work with Divi and Toolset:

Hi Chris, sorry to bother you once again. I follow your explanation. When I hover over the view, it says "Edit is not supported for this View".

Can we only show "view" that visualizes listings on the Divi theme builder? If so, how are we going to add different layouts after the prepared post-design?

Hi there,

It seems that you try to use the View blog which is not supported with Divi as it is a Gutenberg block.

As mentioned in the previous reply you will need to enable the classic view and add a new view with the classic method from WordPress Dashboard > Toolset > Views.

You can learn more about the classic views feature here:

And here is a reference to the shortcode that you should use in Divi after creating the view:

Thanks.
