To place Blocks through the “Context” user interface, follow these steps:
- Make sure you have the correct permissions to enter the “Context” interface.
- Log in and click the “Structure” link in the admin menu.
- Click the “Context” link.
- Where the Blocks UI worked on individual blocks, a "context " is a more generalized set of “Conditions” and “Reactions”. Going back to the PLA example, you could make a similar "context" with the condition of the "path" being test, and a reaction of placing your block in a certain region of the ALA theme. Such a context would look like the image above.
- Use the condition "Path", and the reaction "Blocks".
- With the "Path" text box, you include multiple paths or exclude paths by prepending a line with a tilde (~).
- If necessary, specify lesser-used conditions available, such as the "role" (permission level) of the user, the taxonomy of the node, etc.
- To order blocks, select in both interfaces and assign numerical weight values. The weight values of one interface will respect the values of the other interface.
- Click “Save” at the bottom of the page.
