CCK Blocks

· · ·
fokke - November 16, 2007 - 11:43

Adds a block for every CCK field you created, allowing to show the field value of the currently shown node in the block (placed left, right or in whatever region) instead of (or next to) the node's main content area. Kind of a simple panel variation. Your client can add node-related block-content right from the node's editing page.

CCK blocks depends on the cck module.

Note: Since version 5.x-1.2 and 6.x-1.1 the module does not hide the field in the node's content area anymore. You can do that for yourself in the CCK display settings. This allows you to show the field both in the node's content area and in the CCK block.

Note2 (Performance): Since many users have experienced tremendous problems when block caching is activated #400858: CCK Blocks appears to be incompatible with block caching, we decided to disable block caching for cck blocks. However, if you need block caching for some reason, please use the block cache alter module to activate block caching for individual blocks.

If you want to have a field editable directly within a block, try editablefields.

Block titles support tokens from the token module. Use this module, if you want to have a field as block, with another field value as the block title.
