Can't add blocks (on page or blocks admin about silverstripe-blocks HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Leonardo, in your config I can see that you have use_default_blocks: false. If you haven't created any of your own subclasses of Block, then the add button will not show because no Block classes exist to add.

Thanks for highlighting that @sheadawson. It wasn't really the case as I had created a few extensions under a dir called blocks (which happened to match the name of your module's dir, which was .gitignored). So that was the issue, I was effectively ignoring my files on source control 😒 😓

Thanks for the quick response anyway, I guess this is solved.

On a side note, is there a reason Title is a required field for blocks (other than probably displaying it on Gridfields)? I've seen some discussion on a different issue but didn't really get anything on the reason it is required. I have a few blocks that don't necessarily use a Title and had to get around your validation for them to work.

Glad you got that sorted. Yeah I agree actually we can get rid of validation on the Title. I'll look at that in a sec
