Description
I just tried the dev version and I got way too many errors to consider this for a live site that I was developing. So I stripped this down to its bare bones and extended the functionality slightly. I thought that I would share as it may guide you away from trying to mimic the block.module within the nodeapi hook.
I'm a real believer if the KISS principle!

PS: I renamed it to snb or "Simple node block" to keep a clean namespace. I have no intentions of maintaining / releasing this as a seperate module as it is a 90% overlap with this project!!

I installed the dev version a while ago and it works like a charm
perhaps an other installed module was at fault ??

No, the issues were simply due to the module trying to mimic the block functinality inside the node form. There were at least 3 different issues, all stacked one on top of each other, all related to the direct integration of the module with the block system. It was that latest dev version :)
Anyway, all of I was looking for was a node for a block, with minimal configuration options at the node level. This was one of the three node block modules that provided that, but a stripped down version was all that I needed. I guess that was what the early module provided, and was probably bug-free c/f the dev version. This was a push to say that less is more sometimes!
