ah, thank you, i think i get it now. it seemed that the sys admin -> blocks interface would be setting that ALL -- that if i set the select box to one group, visiblity changes i made were in fact specific for that group. but it sounds more like that user-select box just pulls up a list of blocks based on what you set up in the admin -> groups interface. and the visibility and weight settings you make on any list in that tool are universal.

Thanks for the ideas here. Maybe I should describe what I'm trying to do better. I'm using the default groups: Webmasters, Registered Users and Anonymous Users. Shouldn't I be able to define completely separate block "profiles" for each type of user? So if I wanted to show Anonymous Users a few blocks, Registered Users more and Webmasters more still. It seems like I should be able to do that with these default groups...

Hi all -

I'm trying to set up my site so that anonymous, registered and webmaster users get different blocks. I'm using the admin control panel blocks settings, changing the user pulldown and selecting the appropriate blocks for that user type. Problem is, all users are getting the settings when I make a change. Whichever user group I set up last, everyone ends up with those blocks.

Am I missing something here?

I'm using 2.x (whatever the latest is as off Friday) and a Dana-7 theme, if that matters.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated,
dan
