Blocks

Blocks have similar functionality as e107 menus, but for eFiction users could be hard to understand how e107 menus work.

blocks menu

blocks menu (e107) is a simple menu for adding block to e107 layouts via Menu manager. This way you can use e107 functionality for menus (visibility, moving etc)

Menu fields were simplified for just selecting block (not to confuse efiction user with caption and tablestyle)

Blocks global shortcodes

{EFICTION_BLOCK_CAPTION: key=news}

{EFICTION_BLOCK_CONTENT: key=featured}

If the block is fully rewritten with e107 template system, the caption shortcode is not needed.

Global shortcodes can be used in theme templates too.
