Central has also created several widgets. View them below.

Connection Request Entry Block

This block allows people to add connection opportunity requests on a single person in bulk, by specifying a single person and then selecting all the connection opportunities they want to sign up for. This is useful for entering data into Rock from connection cards.

Feature Block

This block consists of a header image and title that the user is able to customize in the block settings. This provides a way for users to change them without any coding experience. It is best used when paired with our custom Rock theme, Ulfberht. This is a lava block.

For those that want a bit more functionality in viewing their followed registrations, this block enables viewing the number of registrants as well as the number of people that have selected different single-select and multi-select registration form options.

Following Groups

For those that want a bit more organization to the 'Following Groups' panel on their account page, this block displays groups that the user is following, sorted by group type and campus. This is a lava block.

Login Status Lava

If you feel the default Login block is too unwieldy, or too restrictive, and you want to customize the login bar in Rock, this is a handy little Lava block that lets you do so, by being nearly entirely lava.

Media Block

This block displays images from a twitter and instagram feed in a photo grid format. You can dictate the photo size, and how many are in the grid. Helpful for showing what the church has been doing to those who are social-media inclined!

Photo Gallery

This is a block that allows users to easily upload photos to the website and display them. It can display photos in either a slideshow or gallery format. Use it for a variety of uses: A photo gallery detailing the latest community event, a single-image sidebar whatnot showing pics from the latest sermon, and anything else you need.

Popup Calendar

Calendars for desktops are great on desktops. On mobile, however, they're often iffy, and when a large part of your audience is using mobile to view your website, that can be a problem. This block takes the calendar from the new 4.0 updates and gears it towards mobile users, throwing up a modal listing the events for a day that has been clicked. This is a lava block.

Search Result List

Rock's search bar is great, but for your external website you need something that searches through your website content. This is a block that uses a running OpenSearchServer server to display results of search queries on your website pages. This is a lava block.

The documentation for this package is included in the plugin's Assets folder, and can be viewed or downloaded from the plugin's demo page under Admin Tools > Power Tools.

Twitter Block

This is a custom twitter block to display tweets from a single user. It allows the user to customize the look and feel of the tweets shown, in order to better match the website. This is a lava block.

Take Profile Picture

Sometimes you just need to put the power of photography into the hands of your leaders. If logged in and authorized, the block allows a photo to be taken on a device with a camera (tested devices listed below), and uploaded to a person's profile in Rock. Our involvement team uses it to take pictures of all volunteers.
