By modul on

I have a typical three-column screen: menu on the left, node in the middle, some nice blocky things on the right.

In certain nodes, I would like to make a block visible – IN the node zone, that is, so not in the rightside column, but IN the node zone. That block should take up only part of the width of the node, say about one third of the node width, something like a stamp in the top right corner of an envelope, with the text of the node flowing round my block.

Can this be done in Drupal 6.20 without using Panels? Is there a code snippet to be inserted in that node? Or a module?

If you want to do it in code, try something like:

  $block = module_invoke('block', 'block', 'view', $blockID);
  print $block['content'];

where $blockID is the ID of the block you want.

Thanks, Bawoor and Onein, those two hints should do the trick!
