Extensible blocks #305

Description

@mwort

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The blocks provided by coderedcms are great but they are difficult to extend consistently. E.g. adding a code block to the CONTENT_STREAMBLOCKS is currently only possible by overriding the body in all of the page models where this is required.

Describe the solution you'd like

#43 hinted on a solution that has so far not been implemented (correct me if I'm wrong). It would probably require all *_STREAMBLOCK globals in blocks/__init__.py to be converted to functions that will assemble the list of blocks depending on settings during the model construction. The setting could be a dictionary with entries pointing to a module with global list variables, e.g. something like this:

ADDITIONAL_BLOCKS = 'website.blocks'  # eg. contains CONTENT_STREAMBLOCKS

Describe alternatives you've considered

See example with body above.

Additional context

I can give this a go and push a PR if you think this would be the right way to do this.
