Sample questions
Five questions from the bank, from different groups of the exam. This is how the questions look in the practice.
Inside the Hyvä block header-content, the blocks logo and header-search are siblings. A developer adds the block below. Where does acme.usp appear among its siblings?
1<referenceBlock name="header-content">2 <block name="acme.usp"3 template="Acme_Theme::usp.phtml"4 before="header-search"5 after="logo"/>6</referenceBlock>
header-search, because before is read first.logo, because after takes precedence over before., correct answerHint. When both position attributes are present, one of them is dropped.
Helper::_beforeAfterToSibling( checks after first and reads before only when after is not set. The layout instructions page states the same rule. elements.xsd allows both attributes on a block, so there is no schema error (D). The block is therefore placed after logo (C).
