Customize the Showcase Block on your eCommerce Pro store

1. In Magento, go to Content > Blocks.

   

2. On the row for home-page-static-block-v1, click Select, and then click Edit.

   

3. By default, the Block Title and Identifier are the same as the name; the block is Enabled, which means it is available to add to your Home Page, and it appears in All Store Views. You will see the current showcase images in the editor below those options. The images may be stacked rather than side by side, depending on the size or your images.

   

4. To replace an image, click it to select, and then click the Image toolbar button.

   

5. In the Source box, click the folder icon. From the Select Images pages that appears, choose or upload the image that you want to showcase.

   

6. You can set the Dimensions in the Image box, but we recommend that you make sure your images are equal sizes before uploading, and then allow the browser to scale them.
7. Click OK.
8. To add a link, click the image, and then click the Link toolbar button.

   

   1. In the URL box, type the fully qualified URL to the page you want to link to.
   2. In the Title box, type the text that you want to appear when the user hovers over the text or uses your site in accessibility mode.
   3. If you want to open the link and replace the home page, from the Target list, select None. If you want to open in a new tab or browser window, from the Target list, select New Window.
   4. Click OK.
9. Repeat steps 4-8 for the second image.

The Showcase Block on your home page is static. You change its relative position by changing the location of the Featured Categories and Slider widgets on the home page. See

• Add featured categories to your eCommerce Pro store
• Add a new hero slider and images to your eCommerce Pro store

To swap out home page blocks, you'll first create a copy of the original showcase, then modify the images and links, and then finally, point to the new showcase block from the home page.

Create your new Showcase Block

1. In Magento, go to Content > Blocks.
2. On the row for home-page-static-block-v1, click Select, and then click Edit.
3. Click the Show/Hide Editor button.
4. Click and drag to select all of the text, then right click anywhere on the selection, and click Copy.

   

5. Click Back.
6. On the Blocks page, click Add New Block.

   

7. Type a descriptive Block Title and Identifier, and make sure the the block is Enabled. Make a note of the identifier, as you will need it later to point to this Showcase Block from the home page.
8. Click Show/Hide Editor, and then paste the previous block's contents.
9. Edit the images as described in Choose your showcase images above.
10. Click Save.
