Description:

With this mod you can add custom blocks to your forum that will be displayed on the right side of the forum.
You can create as many custom blocks as you like. Features included:

• Ordering - You can easily reorder the blocks to the way you would like them to display in the forum.
• Blocks View - You can set on which pages the blocks will be shown (you can set on individual block basis meaning you can set that block #1 will be dispalyed only on board index while block #2 on board index and forum index) Currently you can choose between 3 pages to display (it's not a modification limitation but just that on pages like the UCP and posting area it will make the page really narrow so i limited in only to Board Index, Forum Index, Topic Index)
• Group Permissions - You can set per individual block who can and who can't view that block, You can add blocks that only certain groups will see while other won't. That way you can show your guests a custom block and registered members won't see it. while staff will see some other blocks you have set them.
• Disable block - Ability to quickly and easily disable a block to not show at all to any one.
• Pre defined blocks - by just adding a new block and entering some sort of key such as 'latesttopics' in the block title will trigger the modification to show the latest topics blocks from your forums. Or entering a key such as 'sitenav' will trigger it to show the site navigation block that you can control from the ACP and add/edit links to the block.

• Latest Topics - Simply will fetch the latest topics from forums the member has viewing permissions -
