Blocks are the boxes visible in the side bars on the left and the right-hand side of the website. They are either exported by the engine or by any of the available modules. To really get your teeth in a drupal website, you are going to have to deal with blocks and administrating blocks in a fairly sophisticated fashion. This means you are going to have to be sensitive to the way the block placement strategy works.

-

The placement of blocks is delegated to the administrator but for most blocks, i.e. those called "custom blocks", the sole force behind enabling and disabling them is the user itself.

-

An administrator can lay out and arrange the available blocks to fit in two regions: "left" and "right". Regions simply contain blocks. In addition, an administrator can assign each block (within a region) a weight to sort them vertically. The heavy blocks will sink down whereas the light blocks will be positioned at the top.

As mentioned above, blocks can be arranged to fit in two regions: left and right. For theme builders, each region is identified by a corresponding constant: "left" and "right".

Blocks are the boxes visible in the side bars on the left- and right-hand side of the website. They are either exported by the engine or by any of the active modules.
