EspañolDrupal 7 - Unit 26 - Extending blocks with additional modules (PDF)
In the Beginner Level we studied the basics of creating and configuring block visibility. In this unit we expand our knowledge of the core block functionalities using the following additional modules:
- Block Title Link, changes block titles into links.
- Block Subtitle, adds a subtitle field to blocks.
- Image Block, creates image blocks.
- Block More Link, allows us to add an extra “see more” link to blocks.
- Block Class, allows us to add CSS classes to blocks. We can then apply different styles to those that are in the theme style pages.
- Block tab, groups all blocks from a region and displays them as tabs.
- Block Visibility by Term, controls block visibility via the taxonomy terms of the displayed content.
- Block Refresh, allows us to configure a block to update at regular, defined intervals, using jQuery/AJAX.
- Multiblock, to create multiple copies of a block. We can then distribute these blocks in different regions and change their individual settings.
- Block reference, adds a block reference field to entities.
