Path for block/14?

johnhesston - May 11, 2008 - 00:58

I just created navigation menu called site info. Then created blocked called site statistics and it's path is block/14.

How can I add this block as a link in my navigation menu?

If I put forum in path it links to forum just fine. What is path for block/14?

Blocks aren't meant to be linked to a menu item unless they are embedded in a node. Blocks are intended to be managed using the blocks administration screen in administer -> blocks

Any way to embed blocks into a node?

yes, there are modules in the downloads area to do so.

can also just put your snippet in a page content type, switch the input format to php and bypass the block altogether.

familiarize yourself with the software you are using. Spend some time in the documentation area.

page content type = core
input formats = core

If you aren't familiar with the two terms above, it shows you've not spend much time at all trying to understand what you are using.

The way I accomplish that...

The way I accomplish that sort of thing is by creating a new, empty node and configuring the block to show up on only that node in the "Content" region (which could be named differently depending on your theme selection).

block/14? haha,what's

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I already knew how to do it, just didn't understand the terminology used. I better read more of the documentation =)

But everything works now so thanks!
