CMS block reference

The Mediaverse CMS block lets you drop video / carousel / hotspot / 360° / 3D content into any Shopping Experience. This page is the technical reference; for the user-facing flow see Shopping Experiences.

Block identifier

Name — p2lab-cms-mediaverse
Label — “Mediaverse” (translated)
Category — video
Sizing modes — boxed, boxed-stretch, fullwidth

Slots

Slot	Type	Purpose
`content`	`p2lab-cms-mediaverse`	The actual media (one slot, one media reference).

The element type is custom (p2lab-cms-mediaverse) — Shopware does not provide a generic “video” element type, so Mediaverse declares its own.

Slot config shape

Stored in cms_slot.config as JSON. Approximate shape:

{
    "mediaverseData": {
        "value": {
            "type": "embed | local | panorama | model | splide | hotspot",
            "source": "youtube | vimeo | ...",
            "url": "...",
            "mediaId": "uuid",
            "playback": {
                "autoplay": true,
                "muted": true,
                "loop": false,
                "controls": true
            },
            "height": null,
            "translation": {
                "de-DE": { "mediaId": "uuid", "url": null }
            }
        }
    }
}

height overrides the default block height — set to a CSS length (400px, 60vh) or leave null for the theme default.

Templates

The block ships with two storefront templates:

views/storefront/block/cms-block-p2lab-cms-mediaverse.html.twig — the outer wrapper that respects the sizing mode.
views/storefront/element/cms-element-p2lab-cms-mediaverse.html.twig — the inner element that delegates to the right renderer based on type.

Admin preview

The block has a small preview component that shows a placeholder image when configuration is empty, and a thumbnail / placeholder when configuration is set. The actual rich preview is only available on the storefront.

Use within other blocks

You cannot nest a Mediaverse block inside another block. To combine Mediaverse content with text, drop a separate text element next to the Mediaverse block in the same CMS section.
