Description
I installed this from liquicms and went to the settings page. I even created a view and tried a taxonomy term. This if for 4.7 correct? I saw no block called "showcase" that I could activate.

you need to have a block somewhere to put the results in.
For my liquidcms site i added a region into my header which i called showcase - but it actually shows up in html as a span (my choice, could be a div as well) that looks like:
<span id="block-block-showcase"></span>if you want to dump into a "real" block then you can go and add a block which should end up getting an integer Id for the block.. i.e. look at the html source and you should see something like
<div id="block-block-6"> </div>and then in the showcase settings you would simply enter 6 as your "block id".
I guess i could have had module make a block with the ID as showcase that people could enable - but didnt think most people would be adding into a border (since nodes dont usually fit that well there). Plus, it was my first module design.. so i likely just didnt think of it at the time.
hope this is more clear now,

Thanks, that is very helpful. Ultimately, I'm looking to do something like this, but switching between tabs. Does showcase currently use jquery? Do you think the js in showcase is a good starting point for a similar module that would switch between tabs?
