This let's you activate, deactivate, or add different types of blocks to you site.
By clicking on edit, you may also configure additional information for the block, such as extra options which may control the blocks behavior, change it's title, add extra text/html/php content below or above the blocks main contents, and if you like, preview the block.
Note: After activating a block, you still need to go to admin/groups and setup the proper group permissions for the block as to setup who can actually see/access the block or not. Also some blocks have internal functions (like login), which don't permit the block to be seen if a user is already logged in. Blocks like this won't work with the preview function.
Side Blocks Administration
These are blocks currently marked as belonging to either right or left blocks. Blocks are grouped by side and then by weight. By clicking on edit, you can change the title of the block, and at your choice add extra content to the block (see: add block for more details).
Center Block Administration
These are blocks currently marked as belonging to the centerblocks groups. Blocks are grouped by side and then by weight. By clicking on edit, you can change the title of the block, and at your choice add extra content to the block (see: add block for more details).
Note: Center blocks can now be arranged in any order you like, not just center-center first. However keep in mind that left always comes before right, so if you want 2 small blocks to appear on the same line, be sure to give the left one a lower weight than the one on the right, and make sure no other block has the same value as these blocks.
1. center
2. left
3. right
4. center
5. .......
Add a new block
Allows you to add a new custom block to your current list of blocks.
Block Type: Defines the position of the block (left, right, center, etc)
Weight: Adjust the position in which the block should appear (lower = earlier)
Visible: Wether the block is currently active or not.
Title: The title shown above the block
Content: What should actually show up in the block
Content Type:
HTML is pure html and will show up as such.
PHP is normal php code, and does not need the <?php ?> tags inside the block unless you wish to mix html with php.
AUTO-FORMAT is like the text that shows up in news posts and newlines are automaticly converted to <br>, also if you wish to use smileys in the block, use the smileys auto-format.
