Hey,

Just wondering if its possible to place similar entries on a node above the comments section. My block only options are only underneath the comments box.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, but that all depends on where your theme places the regions for blocks to output. Drupal 6 makes it a lot easier to make regions in themes so you can have them all over the place. Supporting such a thing isn't really something for the module to do... I'd switch this issue to be under what ever project your theme is or talk to your local theme developer about adding another or moving your footer region.

Actually found a solution, by using the Panels modules and rearranging the blocks, of the page.

I am opening up this issue again because I cannot get the similar block displayed above the comment form and boxes in my Drupal 6.x installation. I am using the Marinelli theme.

I tried placing the block in the "CONTENT" region but the block still went below the comments/comment form. This seems to be a bug in either the theme or Drupal as there's also another region called "BOTTOM CONTENT" which should position blocks below the comments.

The closest solution I've found is here: http://drupal.org/node/283450

However, because my comments.tpl.php is customized and is VERY complex (with lots of php conditions and print functions), I am unable to use the mentioned solution. Furthermore, this isnt really a solution but a workaround...

If any one is able to find a workable solution for 6.x, please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

I've just done it. I created block region above comment section and moved the similarterms block into it. It works fine.

You can see the result and the step by step guide from my blog: http://www.o-learn.com/content/drupal-6-how-to-create-a-new-block-region...
