Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The help text is now only displayed on the block list for the default theme (admin/structure/block). But actually, it's valid on the lists of all themes (like http://localhost/drupal-head/admin/structure/block/list/seven).

mgiffordApplied patch.
Think this would be a usability enhancement for many.
Does move the rest of the block data down the page a bit more than I'd like, but don't know a good way around that.

BarisW commentedWorked fine with me, I tested it on Minnelli and Stark.
I must say however that I am not really fond of the text:
After dragging a block to a new location, this text becomes visible already. So after dragging, the user sees this text twice. See attached screenshot. My patch removes this double line, but I'm not sure if you agree with me on this.

davyvdb commentedI think it can stay there twice; It's good to know this before you start dragging. So the previous patch still applies.
Comment #5
BarisW commentedI'm not sure, let's hear it from some other users. My opinion is there shouldn't be a warning at all - let's warn the user when he leaves the page without saving. But that's another discussion.

cburschkaThis patch does not apply to head anymore.
Neither of them, I mean.
