Please use deltas for the blocks that are more in keeping with "standards;" that is, integers starting at zero.

NancyDru,

I have just started with the project but I haven't seen that documented before can you point me to the handbook pages that outline that?

Thanks
Robert

I don't know where that would be either. I'm just going by core practices.

NancyDru,

The reason I ask is I have used Delta in the same way before in other projects although I have always used numbers but not always starting with zero and going up.

Thanks
Robert

Yes, I have one taxonomy based module where I use the vid for the delta value, so they are not necessarily sequential. But that is a special case where it's a very handy way of passing a "parameter."

NancyDru,

Yea that is how I use them as well. I will add this to my ToDo list but if you check out the project page you will see a huge list of things that are on my ToDo list.

Thanks
Robert

I'll try to help a bit when I get breaks during my moving.

I always like help. I am not glued to the current scheme it just comes down to time to get things done. I only have so many hours since my day job doesn't include working on Drupal.

Thanks

I almost had this finished, but decided it was a lot of work for what? I've decided it just doesn't matter, so I'm withdrawing this request.

NancyDru,

I can understand. I have a pretty large patch I am working on right now myself.

Thanks
Robert
