Hi All,
I'm working with a custom module that needs to be able to change the order of the blocks located on the screen, but only when the module is displayed. In the rest of the system the blocks would go back to their admin-defined layout.
IE, when you go to http://drupal/mymodule the blocks will be displayed in a certain order (of which each user will have their own layout). I have built a system that will allow each user to store their own layout in the database - I just need to know how to override the methods for laying out the blocks in each region (weights, actual region to display in, etc)
I had a suggestion to look at the 'component' module - I've downloaded and installed it, but I cant see how that would let me do what I need.
If anyone can offer any suggestions as to how this might be achieved that would be great.
Cheers,
James

You could try using panels module, and then set your standard blocks to not display on that page, or look into the MySite module, it lets users build their own layout and change it, and you could still set the default blocks to be hidden on that page.
