Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.This module does not work for Drupal 6.
I've reviewed the code and this module does not work properly.
1. When you choose to set a node as block, it sets the status field in the blocks table to 0, it should be 1, a major problem, basically the block never appears !
2. When you choose to turn off the node as block it does not set the status field back to 0, so you basically can't undo creating the block.
If i had the time right now I'd help fix it but I need this working and have no budget left on this project.
Can you please fix it.
I've tried the other patches, and the beta version and nothing works.

Comment #1
colincalnan commentedI have created a patch that first sets the status to 1 so that it can apply that to the block when you first create the node in _nodeasblock_node_form(). This means that the block is visible when it's supposed to be.
Then I modified the update hook in nodeasblock_nodeapi(), so that if the user has chosen to disable the block, it is removed from the block table as it should be.
This patch is against 6.x-1.x-dev.

drupalninja99 commentedIt seems to me if you change the region value from -1 to '' it would work. The way normal blocks are disabled is that they have region = '', seems like we could just have a check if region = -1, then set region to ''
