  cfresh4u, sorry but I'm not quite following you. You can't fill the same group to have blocks go *under* the picture block in the same group... You must place a group below it.
  
  rwoody, this module strickly creates it own pages of blocks and is not for use with placing specific blocks on specific pages. I beleive AT or Xanthia is capable of that or I have also created a blocks module mod to allow for page-specific or module-specific placement of blocks. Sounds like you would just need to create a block to display the news story (summary?) as you desire.

  Nate, Thanks for your reply. If you would, please take a look at this page and let me know what I can do (using BlockHome) to fill *under* the picture block. Thanks in advance for your time and support!

  That photo block appears to be in your right block zone *not the module output area*, so yur would simply add blocks as normal to the right zone via the Admin->Blocks...

  I have a fresh install of BlockHome, with a fresh install of PostNuke (latest stable versions of both).
  
  So far, I have initialized and activated the module, and edited the name of the default "page".
  
  When I attempt to add a column to "My First Group", however, I get the following error:
  
  Bad arguments for API function
  
  It doesn't seem to matter which block type I select, or which options are selected along with it.
  
  I'm very excited about this module (I've been looking for a way to consolidate RSS feeds on their own page), but completely unsure of what to try next.
  
  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

  It doesn't seem to matter which block type I select, or which options are selected along with it.
  

  
  
  I've been playing around a bit more, and may have found something. Usually, when the BlockHome module page loads, the block style drop-down (under "Add new column") is not populated. However, every 10th or 15th time (it seems to be random but infrequent), the drop-down *will* be populated with placement options. When it is, and I select one, I am then successful in adding a new column to a group. Once added, I can go back and edit the column without any errors.
  
  So I think the problem is related to that drop-down menu.

  I've d/l the mod has you suggested. I apologize in advance that I that I seem to a bit "brain dead" here and don't quite get it. Let me try giving a simple example and maybe you can tell me #1 if this mod can do what I need and #2 How do I accomplish it.
  
  First PN 726 on all my sites. Some with AutoTheme and other using core style but with nuclei block installed and utilized. Block config. is left, right, center, lft-center and rt-center. This example is for the index.php(home page) Modules in general in auto theme set to default in center of theme currently.
  
  I create new story with sid=1 (I can't figure out how to determine topic and cat id as I don't see them in URL) I would like to place this story in the lft-center block. I create next story with sid=2 and this one I would like to place in the rt-center block.
  
  Is this possible?
  
  Thanks so much for you help in this matter.
  
  Ruth in AZ

  BlockHome module installed well, right column issues figured out.
  
  I have enabled "Collapseable Menu Icons" in Blocks Configuration. When I collapse a block on one of my BlockHome pages, all blocks in the BlockHome Group collapse.
  
  Looking at the URL's associated with the [-][+] on the left and right columns, I notice the URL looks like this:
  my.site.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Blocks&file=index&req=ChangeStatus&bid=79&authid=12345678abcdefgh
  
  But the URL's associated with the [-][+] in the BlockHome groups/columns looks like this:
  my.site.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Blocks&file=index&req=ChangeStatus&bid=&authid=12345678abcdefgh
  
  Is there a way to associate a block id to each module loaded in BlockHome? Each column in each group has a number when I admin the module:
  

  Code

  Group: header
  
  Block Name: MyHTML001 (120)              Block Name: MyHTML002 (121)
  Type: html (Core)                        Type: html (Core)
  Block Style: Left                        Block Style: Left
  Cell Width: 50%                          Cell Width: 50%
  
  Permissions... default

  
  
  Are the numbers "120" and "121" significant?
  
  Thanks,
  pmj.

  Sunuvagun... I never actually tested with the collapsable blocks - one of the first things I turn off on a new PN installation ;)
  
  The number in parenthesis are the block id's of the blocks used in BlockHome . I suspect the problem may have to do with the way blocks are loaded and displayed in BlockHome. They use the pnAPI function pnBlockLoad (and/or pnBlockShow, I forgit) which oddly enough does not pull in the bid with the other information. (Somewhat a flaw with PN in this matter and in the fact the collapse link does not check for a valid bid ;))
  
  I suspect I have a fix, and will posting an announcement here, as well as a new download package at the address above. Thanks for bringing this to my attention - that's what beta testin's for, eh?

  Has someone succeded to have shorturls working inside the Blockhome?
  
  I tried several times (I use the shorturl by dev-postnuke.com) and it works when I'm in other pages, not when I'm in Blockhome

  OK I've got it install, its working correctly ... I'm just lost on how to customize the output ... I know it has to do with themeindex, but I'm using AutoTheme and Regular PN Themes and I just can't seem to grasp the idea of customizing it.
  
  All I want to is to display the headlines and headlines would take you to the full story.

  Also, I need to get the right side blocks to show up. Help?

  I am a newbie with postnuke and was looking for something that gave more control over page layout. Outstanding effort on BlockHome. Nice to have the permissions also, so that the page is different depending who's looking at it. Thanks again, this has made learning postnuke worth the effort.
  
  Thanks also for the note on themes, made my first hack to the standard postnuke theme.
  
  Bob :D

  Also, I need to get the right side blocks to show up. Help?

  
  That is dependent on your theme which I am reluctant to answer cause no one ever specifies what theme system they're on ;) Take a breeze around the forum search...

  Aw, come on.. :)
