An example

Say i have 3 blocks called:

News
Headlines
Forum

I want Headlines to appear last in the list.... HOW do i do that ?

I have checked Blocks under system admin and it only allows me to move them left center or right... but NOT up or down ?

Please help as it will make the website look a little bit more organised.

Many thanks for your help ladies and gents

Re: Moving Blocks up and down !

That is accomplished by the "weight" attribute. Lower means higher - within the same block "group" (left, center, right etc)

OK.... I just tried what you suggested by using weight to move the block up or down on the site..... I chose the number 7 as i have a few other blocks like calendar, news, headlines etc and wanted to make sure "Recent Topics" was at the bottom of my forum.

IT DIDNT WORK !

Instead.... the option in blocks has now disappeared from the list completely....but the block DOES show on the website BUT NOT in the place at the the bottom as i requested (7) .... it still shows at the very top of the site.

What have I done ?
How do i get "Recent Topics" to show again in my list of Blocks?
Is there any hope for me ?

Thanks for your help guys

Ok.... I found the block !

BUT.... no matter what "weight" i give the block, it still remains in the center at the top of the page. I would like this block just above my forum with login block above this.

example

login
top posters
RECENT TOPICS
forum

BUT.... no matter what "weight" i select, it STILL remains in the center at the very top of the page....It wont move down !!!

Any ideas or suggestions regarding this will be greatly received.

Thanks guys and gals

Re: Moving Blocks up and down !

And you are sure they are in the same block "group" - e.g. center-center or center-left?

The "recent topics" does not show in the "Top Pages" I have the "recent topics" showing in the forum block. But as I said, it shows at the top of the page.

I would like to move "recent topics" to below the other blocks which i have on the forum page, ie: Who's online, headlines, whats on (mini calendar), Top links and Members photos (xcgallery)

I have given a "weight" of 4 for "recent topics" so therefore I expect it to move down the page....BUT...it is still remaining at the top of the page !

Dont understand why...could someone point out the reason for this and where I am going wrong please

Many thanks
