I have recently started using Drupal but I am having a bit of difficulty editing some blocks. I've gone into the blocks admin menu and I can see a list of all of the different blocks being used and they have the configure option next to them.
If I click configure on some of them, on the next page I am given the 'edit block' box but on others the box doesn't show up (e.g. footer). How can I make the edit box show up or is there another way to edit them?
Thanks for any help.
1] visit this link http://drupal.org/project/block_edit and download module and install it on your site.
2] visit this link to apply setting admin/settings/block_edit.
What actually this module do?
It's provide a edit link on block itself where you are viewing it. Now clicking on edit link will redirect you to specific block edit page. This means need not to go deep inside and find block you want to edit.
Some modules, like the menu module, add blocks with auto-generated content that cannot be edited directly from the blocks admin page. Usually only content blocks added by yourself will have the edit block content option.
Footer will be a menu block, so there will be no editable area. If you want to make changes to the menu you'd need to edit the menu rather than the block.

I've tried deleting blocks, disabling views - the lot! I just can't get this little block to go away!
A block called "Related Forum" is showing up on our knowledge base pages an example is found - here.
I'd like the whole Related Forum block removed from any /help* page:
If I login and hover my mouse over the block, no settings icon appears.
Any idea?
Navigate to the blocks admin page at "admin/structure/block".
There somewhere you should see your block (generated from a view) named something like "View: related forums".
Click configure and change this blocks visibility settings under the "pages" tab at the bottom of the configure page.
If this does not work, check that this block is not being specifically included in a template file.
Another thing that may be affecting it is the context module.
I'm sure this is a very simple question, but I'm new to Drupal and haven't found a solution by the traditional methods of Googling and searching the Drupal home site, so please indulge me.
I've just installed Drupal 7 and am using the Bartik theme.
When I click Structure > Blocks there are a bunch of blocks at the bottom of the page which you can drag to a position corresponding to a region of the page template (Footer, Sidebar 1 etc).
However, when I assign a block to a region, whether by dragging, using the dropdown menu or using the configuration menu against the block, it does not save the assignation.
The block does not appear in the assigned region and when I return to the blocks page, those blocks are back at the bottom of the page, not assigned to a region.
The only blocks that I can make stick are ones that I create myself.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a solution?
Thank you.

It sounds as if you didn't click "save blocks" after assigning a block to a region - did you? There is a button on the bottom of the page - just below the blocks.
I have a WP website which has a home with a top banner and 2 more controllable panel like here.
My question is what is the best way to keep this controllable via admin?
The way I did it was to create two categories by the names "Latest Updates" and "New in 2013!" and then coded it such that the posts coming under the categories gets displayed in their respective panels on the home page. The image as usual controlled via the Featured Image of the post. A pretty basic setup to manage its content via posts to keep the layout intact and at the same time do the task.
I had suggestions where we should keep it right there in WP editor for control i.e. put all the div / ul / li etc. right there in the WP editor using the text part and have the admin control it right from there.
I need to know which method is better for implementation i.e. managing via posts like it is now or keep it right there in the editor and put HTML content in the editor.
All recommendations much appreciated.
Your first one method is correct ,easy and safe.
Safe Because,If accidentally any change in editor then all showing content breaked
I'm new to Drupal and making some changes to an exisiting site.
I have a page with a menu in the left side bar, which shows on all the pages in that menu apart from the one i've added. I've done it before where you have to add the URL of the page you want the menu to show somewhere in the admin panel for the menu to show.
If i go to: site building > blocks > block_name and then tick 'Users cannot control whether or not they see this block.' The menu wil show. But it will also show on pages I don't want it to.
Do you know where in the Admin I need to go to allow the menu to show on this new page.
Thanks in advance.
After hours of hunting around I've found the answer, the block has text box at the bottom of the page 'page specific settings' where you add the URL of the page you wish the block to show on.
You can use menu_block module.
It creates the menu inside a block and treats it EXACTLY like a block.
Hope this helps... Muhammad.
i'm new to drupal views. More link not displayed with my view block. i set more link both Create more link and Always display more link option too. Find picture below for view settings.
Note: i'm sure there is around 10+ nodes available to display.
You have only block display, so where should go "More"? :) Create also "Page" display.
If you have specific page to link on more then you can use header or footer also
1. Add Global Custom Text in Header or Footer
2. Put Your Link There.
That is alternate way for more link
