Magento2: Block with arguments

Question

I'm using Magestore's mega menu extension and using a plain content for rendering menu dropdowns. There, I want to use dynamic block's. I tried adding my dynamic block in xml layout file and its working fine there. The code is as below:

<block class="Sebwite\Sidebar\Block\Categorymenutree" name="category-menu-tree" as="catmenutree" before="-" template="Sebwite_Sidebar::categorymenutree.phtml" >
 <arguments>
 <argument name="menu_id" xsi:type="number">239</argument>
 </arguments>
 </block>

So my question is how can I add this block from backend with arguments?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Go to Content> Pages and click on a page where you want to show your static block. Then add this short-code

{{block class="Sebwite\\Sidebar\\Block\\Categorymenutree" menu_id="239"}}

menu_id attribute is your argument name.

• Deepak K: It seems that mega menu extension doesn't work properly. When I use "content" as content type and then add my block and widgets in it. The code is directly shown at frontend rather dynamic HTML. prntscr.com/cnrx90
