Block configuration settings: Support adding IDs. #2145

Open klonos opened 8 years ago

klonos commented 8 years ago

Use case includes our own backdropcms.org. I'd like to point people to the "Show your support for Backdrop CMS" block that is at the bottom of the page (and requires a lot of scrolling). It would be supper useful in such case to be able to add an ID, so that I could use something like https://backdropcms.org#supporter_form

...perhaps an "Add an ID to the block" checkbox that simply adds a #block_name ID?

Because the same block can be placed many times on a page, I don't think we should support adding IDs in core. I could see this as a useful contrib module though.

Would it be reasonable/possible to give every instance of a block a unique id?

I was just trying to figure out how to add an ID to a block, so I like the idea of this feature. Although, I would be satisfied with contrib. I understand the reasons why it might not make sense in core. But, this was a feature I was looking for today.
