How to customize marketplace module

[SH82]

purchased a couple of marketplace modules to use on my website. If I need to edit or add any fields in those modules, how can I do that?

I noticed that the Design Manager has an option to clone. Where can I find the cloned module?

In a HubSpot community discussion, I saw that they mentioned marketplace modules are obsolete after October 2022. Does that mean I can't customize them anymore?

Hi

The 360 folder is where all my files are. When I added the marketplace module to our Hubspot it was placed in the @marketplace folder.

It looks like the 360 folder is set up to be editable, but maybe is not a child theme that permits that file cloning action.

A workaround maybe possible to set up a blank module and copy the contents of the marketplace module into that form - but it can be complex to get the field setup correct in these cases.

Hi @SH82,

To customise marketplace modules, you can clone the module within the design manager.

Once cloned, you can easily add or edit fields as needed. The cloned module will be available in the design manager under the finder section, where you can make all necessary adjustments.

Also about the concern about marketplace modules, I think you can still customise these modules. While older versions may need to be upgraded to the latest framework, you will still have the ability to modify and use them as you see fit.

I hope this helps, if you need further assistance, let's talk!

Hi, when I click the clone module it lets me add a new name and save it. After that the cloned version doesn't exist. When is it not being saved?

Thanks

@SH82 - short clarification (which I hope make sense in context) - cloning a marketplace module make it available in editable form within the working child theme that you have set up. Everything else follows from there.

in design manager finder means "in search box"?
after i clone i didnt find when searched same module name,its only show purchased one not cloned one.

The two steps required are:

- create a child theme of the marketplace theme. This will appear in the design manager as a mostly empty folder structure.

- close the individual marketplace module that you want to modify using a right click action on the marketplace file

Then the module copy will appear in the child theme folders.

Hi

How do I clone this module so that I can edit it (Resource_Awesome)?

When I right click on the parent folder I get these options:

When I right click on the module I get this:

Clone to child theme is also greyed out.

Can you give me guidance on how to clone this module so that I can fully edit the code?

There is no marketplace theme as the module was purchased as a stand alone module and not tide to a theme if this help.

Thanks

I don't believe it is possible to clone a standalone module.

It is crazy that it isn't possible. If someone is purchasing a module from the Hubspot Marketplace the likely hood is that it would need a certain level of customisation either through text changes (titles/Subtitles) or layout tweaks. Once downloaded the module interface even warns that the module needs to be cloned before being editable. Why on earth does Hubspot not allow the module to be cloned. It's like the Marketplace was an afterthought and the user journey of cloning the module to use was not taken into account.

Can you share a screen shot of the theme foler that you are using as a base for page development - I presume this is set up as a child theme of some other marketplace or HubSpot master.
