The order of blocks is set chronologically. Is that right? Last block added on top? I'd like to shuffle them around. Doesn't work in the blocks admin page. Is this theme related? Omega.

Anthony,

I haven't run into this issue myself but it sounds like a situation where you'd need to customize the theme file eg. node-custom_content_type.tpl.php.

Hi All, I defined a content type (D 7.12) and assigned it to a menu li. Then I defined a block and told it to only appear under said content type page. I assigned the block to the content region and now the content of the content type, which is also appearing in the content region, is below my block. I want, however, to have the block appear below the content of the content type.

So in the content region I have block A and then content B below it .

• Block A
• Content B

I would like to reverse the order

• Content B
• Block A

Any ideas? It is not possible to do anything on the block configuration

page.

...

Thanks

I believe, this can be done pretty easily with adding a custom region around content. A region before content and a region after content, where required blocks can be added.

If you are showing block on the node view page, then there is another way this can be achieved. You can add the contents of the block in $node object, on nodeapi view operation, and you will get the data in node--content-type.tpl.php, where you can custom theme it. To add block contents to $node object check this - http://drupal.org/node/164799

Yes. It is the theme that actually ends up controlling the data given it. Recently I've been using Pixture Reloaded and when I add a block to the content area it is presented under the content. Someone who is better at theme coding will have to give you pointers in how to change the theme.

You can just create the file copying and renaming "node.tpl.php" from the theme.

Have a look at template suggestions: http://drupal.org/node/1089656.

...

From the docs:

---

node--[type|nodeid].tpl.php base template: node.tpl.php

Template suggestions are made based on these factors, listed from the most specific template to the least. Drupal will use the most specific template it finds:

1. node--nodeid.tpl.php
2. node--type.tpl.php
3. node.tpl.php
