Hello to all,
I'm trying to render nodes as blocks. Apparently, the drupal block node module (https://www.drupal.org/project/block_node) has not been ported yet, but maybe there is a backdrop way or work-around or alternative module to accomplish this. If so, I've not been able to discover it and would be very happy about any hint.
Thank you and best regards
Hi..., And welcome
I've just had a cursory look at the block_node module...
Do you want all of the module's functionality or just a specific aspect?
There are many different ways you could add a node to a block depending on your requirements...
There's already a way to add existing content into a block if the content is static...
In a layout, click on the "add block" in the desired region... and type in "ex... you should see existing content...
You can then type the title of the content or the node id.
Hope this helps...
You could also use Views if the content is dynamic.
Let us know what type of content you need and we can help further.
Regards
Steve
