| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | This is the name of the block. It cannot be modified here. |
| Block Type | This is the position of the block, as defined in the ‘Side Left-Center-Right’ row of the Table 2. It may be set here also. |
| Weight | This is the weight property of the block, as defined in the ‘Weight’ row of the Table 2. It may be set here also. |
| Visible | This is the visible property of the block, as defined in the ‘Visible row of the Table 2. It may be set here also. |
| Visible in | This property sets the pages where the block will be displayed. In addition to all the modules, the combo box items have ‘Top Page’ and ‘All Pages’. The ‘Top Page’ will display the block only in the top page; the ‘All Pages’ will display the block in every page of the site. Selecting multiple, non-consecutive pages is possible by holding “Ctrl” on keyboard. |
| Title | This is the title that will be displayed in the webpage for the block. |
| Content | The ‘Edit Template’ link will allow the Site administrator to edit the template of the block. Some HTML and/or PHP knowledge are required to do this. |
| Options | Many blocks have options that can be set to fully customize the block. As the options are different for each block, we will not detail each one of them here. |
| Cache lifetime | Cache lifetime is a useful feature for making a site run faster. If a block has fixed content that is unlikely to change on a regular basis, it is possible to instruct the browser to call the content from cache, rather than from the server. This is particularly effective if graphics are part of the content. Use the settings here to determine how long this content should be held in cache before returning to server fed data. |
