Configuration

Block instance settings

Each block instance can configure:

• Content mode (see list above)
• Mode-specific fields (e.g., section/activity target, event data, geolocation, WiFi settings)
• QR size (`small`, `medium`, `large`)

Global plugin setting

The plugin supports a configurable short-link service URL (`configshortlink`).
If configured, a short-link action can be shown in block editing mode.
