In XOOPS 2.2 we have the wonderful ability to create multiple blocks of the same type, but that causes a considerable administration problem. You might, for example, have multiple "Recent News" blocks on different pages showing only the news categories appropriate for that page. When you look in the "List All Blocks" page, however, you cannot tell one from the other. We need a good way to tell them apart.

One way would be to have the page the block is visible on be displayed in the "Visible in" window. The way it is now, you have to scroll to see where it is visible, and that is very time consuming. This method would be a problem, though, where the blocks are visible on multiple pages, some of which might be the same as similar blocks with just one page different. Maybe it would be better to have a separate "Hidden Name" field which would not be visible in the block.

So, my suggestion is, then, to have some way to easily identify and differentiate similar blocks on the "List All Blocks" page.
