You do this by assigning a <strong>weight</strong> to each block. Lighter blocks (smaller weight) \"float up\" towards the top of the sidebar. Heavier ones \"sink down\" towards the bottom of it. Once you've positioned things just so, you can preview what the layout will look like in different types of themes by clicking the preview placement link in the menu to the left.</p> <p>The path setting lets you define the pages on which a specific block is visible. If you leave the path blank it will appear on all pages. The path uses a regular expression syntax so remember to escape special characters!</p> |
